position of the adverb really

Hello.
Is there any difference in meaning between sentences a) and b)?
a) I really don't like that kind of person.
b) I don't really like that kind of person.

If there is, can I generalize it to other verbs like "know", "enjoy" and "excel"?

I'd appreciate your help.
