Annoying, clueless clods fall into three overlapping classes:

• jerks, who think only of themselves
• fools, who don't know how ignorant they are
• liars, who deliberately try to deceive

But better is to focus on the positive side, key characteristics of good people:

• empathy
• wisdom
• honesty

What other categories belong on that list?
