From my own experience I see two types of pilots. The first type are pilots that actually fly the plane, and I don't mean with autopilot off. The first type are pilots who make the airplane do what they want. The second type are reactionary pilots, i.e. if a parameter is off, they fix it using whatever method possible. The second type are not proactive in flying but reactive. A great example of the second type would be, I was flying a plane with the autopilot differed and the guy was chasing the needle on the ILS. I asked what heading he was flying for the approach, there was no answer. CFI's, Military, Single pilot IFR, fly the airplane, the other let the airplane fly them.
