That sounds about right to me too, but it’s more of a continuum between the deferential ones and the meddlers. I can gladly work with a client with, say, an 80:20 ratio of deference to meddling. When they’re too hands off, that becomes its own problem.
I’ve found the serious meddlers are usually the ones with a personal stake in process, like a small business owner or an individual who’s been thinking too long about the project and how much it will cost. In more routine business situations, it’s typically less of an issue since it’s rarely a personal project.
