Favorite of all is the consistent sort. The one who remembers your games from lessons past, tracks your weaknesses, and comments on how you did with regards to those weaknesses. Harsh, gentle, doesn't matter. As long as they adequately explain what you're doing wrong and when it shows up again. It seems better to have your recurring weaknesses pointed out than a minor misread or a joseki mistake.

Edit: And as a secondary, it's nice if the teacher is nice/friendly/polite off the go board. If that happens, harshness in reviews is doubly fine (and effective).

Hmmm... You left off the 'Drinking Buddy' choice. :scratch:

Someone like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZEA54VJEdE (explicit)

I'd guess it'd go under 'Hard'. He's rude and vulgar...but he gets my attention, makes me laugh, and strangely gives me motivation.

LOL! Not exactly what I had in mind. But guys like this may be why the Nihon Ki'in wanted to make sure that Antti got the lectures on etiquette!

The most important teacher type is missing: Emphasing reasoning.

I must say I'm more for the soft guy, who calmly explains me which advantages "his" (not "the correct") move has and which disadvantages my move has - locally and/or globally.
If someone just says this move is bad, do not play this ever again, I can't help but feel: And who are you exactly? This reminds me of the discussion about Josekis: A move is not "bad" because it is not Joseki, it is not Joseki because it's "bad" - and here comes explanation.

Robert is right! The best teacher type (I'd call it the "Clear Reasoner") is missing. I don't care whether somebody goes "aaah, that move sucks!" or "hmmm, maybe better elsewhere", as long as they can tell me why! I also like the "Tewari Master" teacher type, but that's related, of course.
