Compare his work to Mead's and how his cognitive function analysis has morphed into MBTI. Also look at the extent to which this study is used in organizational development, if not organizational psychology.

Where or how does this all compare with the Grid-Group typology of ways of life created by Mary Douglas?

Can Group be associated with intuitive types, while sensory is individual?

Is high grid about reason (thinking) whilst low grid is about values?

This would make hierarchism high grid (roles defined), high group, thinking and intuitive (planners). ENTP, ENTJ, INTP, INTJ.

Realism (formerly fatalism) is also high grid, low group, thinking, sensory and the most common type/way of life. The working class. ESTP, ESTJ, ISTP, ISTJ.

Egalitarians are low grid, high group. Are they also intuitive feelers (values and a plan for achieving them in common action) with a disdain for rules and expertise? ENFP, INFP, ENFJ, INFJ.

This leaves low Grid-Low Group economic and social individualists and there negotiated morality with sensory feeling. Making deals and doing what they want, not planning for themselves or the tribe. ISFP, ESFP, ISFJ, ESFJ.

Think of the possibilities for data gathering and analysis giving each theory more heft.
