Evaluative diversity
Evaluative diversity is the degree to which different decision-makers in a population exhibit preferences for different forms of evaluation. It is the part of neurodiversity which overlaps with moral psychology, which has historically held certain types of people as morally inferior. It also overlaps with computer science because decision-making does not require neurons, and this allows scientists to mathematically demonstrate some advantages this form of neurodiversity brings society. Such advantages have also been explored through sociological experiments.

Simon Baron-Cohen concluded that discrimination against Asperger syndrome/high-functioning autism can be mere discrimination against evaluative diversity (in this case, against evaluation not swayed by empathy). As other examples, evaluativism can include discrimination against creative people, against empathic people, and against conservatives. Jonathan Haidt found it to have greater social impact than both racism and classism. . It also has a long cross-cultural history with criticisms of particular evaluative types appearing in the Tanakh, Bhagavad Gita, Tao te Ching, Dhammapada of Buddha, Analects of Confucius, Bible, Qu’ran, and peer-reviewed scientific journals.
