That could make a fascinating 2x2. I wonder what other failure modes the other intersections could reveal. Have you thought about those other 3 quadrants?
I did the exercise for myself, and here's what I got:
hands-on + task-oriented = micromanager
hands-on + people-oriented = professional office politician (deeply involved, but only to the extent it enables shaping the org chart)
hands-off + task-oriented = scrum master (no technical background that would allow being hands-on, but still very concerned with tasks)
hands-off + people-oriented = HR rep, I guess? Relatively distant from the day-to-day of the team, but still concerned with "people."
On reflection, maybe that last one is a bit of a stretch. But — definitely an interesting thought experiment overall.
