Person Types

Proverbs is more than merely wisdom. It’s diagnostic for our lives. These people types are more than labels. They are how we respond.

Wise

Receives correction. Seeks understanding. Grows over time.

Simple

Naïve. Easily influenced. Not yet committed to wisdom or folly.

Fool

Rejects correction. Knows but does not apply. Creates harm.

Mocker

Despises wisdom. Resists correction. Corrupts others around him.

Sluggard

Avoids work and discipline. Makes excuses. Sees risk everywhere.
