I had always thought of fun in these three categories instead: Challenging, Accomodating and Relaxing (https://gretchenrubin.com/happiness_project/2013/04/consider-the-three-levels-of-fun-challenging-accommodating-and-relaxing-fun/)
I enjoyed trying to relate yours and Ms. Rubin’s: Type 1 is like Relaxing (but may also encompass Accomodating; I think Accomodating is an interesting category that can also fit into your Type 2). Type 2 is definitely like Challenging. Type 3 is by design unintentional. Type 0 is probably part of Relaxing – or at least meant to be!

There’s quite a few types of fun and I agree that type 2 fun is the most rewarding.

Things that really test you while you’re doing them, that make you question “why!” but, ultimately, are really great for you, your body and your mind. That’s what’s fun.
