I like some of the older classifications of SF. The ones that included "hard sci-fi", which focuses very tightly on the sciences aspect of science fiction. "Space opera", usually involving empires, lots of fighting and battles. I don't know if I'd read this somewhere, but I call "psychological SF" the kind that involves mind development, such as telepathy, telekinesis, or other mental feats. And there are blends of SF with fantasy, such as Heinlein's "Glory Road", and Niven's "The Magic Goes Away". I'm sure we could all come up with lots of classifications.
