I've seen this before but I can't remember where. I recall that it was a psychological test. The third type of umpire was supposed to be a dictatorial or leadership personality. I think that the second type was a realist and type one was an optimist.
If I recall correctly from psychology classes, realists are the most intelligent. Type threes make the best umpires.
