Is this correct?
why was I introduced to these type of people? should there be a "s" after type?

" (this type / these types) The same would be true if "people" were singular: What is your favorite type of person? What are your favorite types of person?
- " (this type / these types) The same would be true if "people" were singular: What is your favorite type of person?
- What are your favorite types of person?

Hi,
If you're referring to multiple types - more than one type, then use the plural, "types."
If you're referring to only one type of people, then say "this type of people."
The fact that "people" is plural has no effect on chosing "type" or "types." But "this/these" must agree with "type/types." (this type / these types)
