user7548: I remember hearing somewhere about 4 types of beings in relation with the satipatthana sutta and that for each group one of the satipatthanas is most important/suitable to practice. Can somebody please give me a reference from the suttas or commentaries?

affective, slow temperament - body
intellectual, fast temperament - mental contents
affective, fast temperament - sensations 
intellectual speculation, slow temperament - mind
