mithyaadrishti has only one type of mithyaatva. In fact, it is impossible to have all five types of mithyaatva simultaneously. But it is possible that a person sheds one type of mithyaatva and experiences another type of mithyaatva.
Of the five types of mithyaatva, four are interchangeable. They are - Abhigrahika, Anaabhigrahika, saanshayika and anaabhogika. But the fifth type, Aabhiniveshika, arises only when samyaktva is gained and then lost. Hence, only bhavya jiivas suffer from Aabhiniveshika mithyaatva since only they can gain samyaktva.
The scriptures explain one who has Abhigrahika mithyaatva do not believe in six absolute truth:
"Natthi na niccho na kunai kayam na ve'eii natthi nivvaanam. Natthi ya mokkhovaao aabhiggahiassa chha viappaa." “1. Naasteyavaatmaa 2. Na nitya aatmaa 3. Na kartaa 4. Kritam na vedayita 5.

The scriptures have related six types for Abhigrahika mithyaatva: 1. rejects the existence of the soul 2. accepts the soul but rejects its eternity 3. rejects that the soul is its own doer 4. rejects that the soul has to bear the consequences of its actions 5. rejects the existence of liberation 6. rejects the possibility of attaining of liberation
These doubts may be entertained by both bhavya and abhavya jiivas.
1. Abhigrahika Mithyaatva
When a person insists on a particular viewpoint without examining reality in all its aspects, denying reality and insisting that the path one has been born in, is the right one. He is known to suffer from Abhigrahika mithyaatva. In this case, ignorance and obstinacy manifest themselves simultaneously.
