Dear Grames, The three classes you mentioned we could call Sattvika (selfexperiencing), Rajasika ( other's experiences) and Tamasika (only questioning). I think that every person has all three classes, though not al manifesting itself equally strongly, and manifesting itself more or less at different situations. We are Human and thus fallible. We want to be more Atman and thus nearer towards Brahman. It's a process which is for every individual different. And there's no problem with that. The key is not difference but acceptance of that difference. This is called respect. We all are like mirrors of melody for others: through others as Anu mirrors we can see ourself reflected and through other's inner Atman melody we can get the Atman sound in ourself resonated. The moment we can make together a symfony of inner Atman melody we are truly realizing our Atman and thus closer to Brahman music and eventually resolve in Brahman. But at this moment the goal is far away. What is near is making a symfony of inner melody. (The outer melody would be gradually no problem then). Then only can the harmonious Atman melody reach our hearts more authentic powerfully to withdraw our attention from the outer dualistic noisy melodies. Only after this our Atman melody can harmoniously resolve in Brahman music.
