I suppose we all "hate" to be wrong, especially if we actually believed we were right.

I did not know there was a separate word for naming categorizing people this way.

The closest words in the English language I can think of is:

cantankerous or quarrelsome, but they do not actually imply the hate of being wrong, rather the enjoyment of having an argument even for the argument itself.

It is however such a pity that so many persons today use these words about people they can not win a discussion with.

Often people do disagree on an answer as problems occur because one part have a wider understanding of a question than the other part.

Life has told me that Black and White sometimes is more like Gray. It is all defined in ones perception of the object. Lack of light makes all cats gray. (or black)

What you call a person who hates change?

== == A person who hates/dislikes change is a "neophobe", the opposite of a "neophile" who is easily excited by novelty. Sentence: A bunch of childish neophobes have created a Facebook group objecting to minor layout revisions and new features. If you're talking about someone who hates TECHNOLOGICAL change specifically, you might be looking for the word "luddite" or "neo-luddite" (since Luddites were a type of people from 19th Century England).


What do you call a person with no conscience?

Community Answer 1A person with no moral values is described technically as being amoral._________________________________Community Answer 2It is difficult for any person raised in society to be amoral, to have no understanding of right or wrong as defined by societal rules. Animals are amoral because they are governed by instincts and not morality, but we are far more likely to encounter immoral people, who know right from wrong but choose to do wrong than amoral people, who are completely ignorant that what they are doing is viewed as wrong by society. A simple test to know the difference would be to see if the person tries to cover up or hide the misdeeds. If the person does, then you are dealing with someone who is immoral, what the law defines as displaying consciousness of guilt. An amoral person would do the misdeed in front of law enforcement, clergy, family, or anyone with no realization that anything is amiss. If the immoral person hides his crimes but suffers no guilt or pangs of conscience over the misdeeds, then we diagnose the person a psychopath or sociopath.


What do you call a person who observes other people?

Personally, I'd call the person wise. Really depends on the Reason Why the person is observing others. A person gaining wisdom would most likely observe wisely, meaning the person being observed wouldn't even know, but not to the Extreme. But a person just excessively watching someone, like staring, would be uncomfortable...Basically your question is unanswerable, unless you're more Specific.
