Don't know if you know about the MBTI (Myers-Briggs personality typing system), which is based on C.G. Jung's work about cognitive functions.
According to the MBTI, there are 16 personality types, which are different combinations of preferred cognitive functions. What you described above are people with either introverted intuition (pattern recognition) or introverted feeling (deeply personal value systems) as their dominant function.
The interesting thing about the MBTI is that the types are not equally distributed among the population. Types with dominant extraverted functions occur at a higher percentage than introverts, sensing is more prevalent than intuition, etc. Introverted intuition as the dominant function only turns up in about 3-5% of people, iirc. If you added up the numbers of people who have introverted intuition or introverted feeling as either their most or their second-most preferred function, I suspect you'd come pretty close to the percentage of jab-resisters.
