Since this is claimed to come down to personality types, it would make sense to look at research on personality types. There is a model of personality types that seems relate-able where people are characterized as upholder, rebel, questioner, or obliger [1]. The aggressive ones line up at least:

upholder = tattletales, rebel = naughty ones

I don't think that equating the passive category to personality types in this model works, but it would be:

questioner = dreamy ones, obliger = sheep

The reason being that obliger is characterized more by relationships with others (aggressive/passive) than by being conventional or independent minded.
