I feel like an important distinction here boils down to being comitted to ones' convictions out of ideology or pragmatism. I'll use my own camp as an example. Idealistic libertarians tend to be anarchists and reject the authority of government outright , as anarcho-capitalists. Pragmatic libertarians tend to be minarchists. I feel like this distinction between ideology-driven people and political pragmatists likely exists in each of the five groups you list above, and the distinction makes a radical difference in the "brain type".
Also, total nitpick: I would say libertarian and not Libertarian. These are discrete groups. You also sometimes capitalize liberal or conservative, and this confuses me. Not sure if these are distinct from their lowercase forms or not.
