The 4 types of chess improvers

I'm a mix between the grinder and the scattered improver. If I had to quantify it, maybe a 80 - 20 divide.

It's an interesting blog post, but I think that not all chess players are interested in improving. I don't think for example that the grinder or even the scattered improver are really trying to get better, and instead they seem just content to play and solve puzzles. Of course if they make some progress along the way they will not be sad about it, but improving is not their main goal. I know because I am a mix between a grinder and a scattered improver myself, and I am content to just play my games and solve interesting puzzles or understand a tiny bit the elite games.
