Limited or Functional Inerrancy: The Bible contains errors of scientific, historical and numerical details,  but it is inerrant in matters relating to salvation and right living. 

Naive Inerrancy: Usually called dictation or typewriter view, holds that God dictated text word for word. 

Absolute Inerrancy: Allows for more human involvement, but insists all statements of science and history are exact and true. "Day" in Genesis 1 is a 24 hour day. 

Balanced Inerrancy: Every word in scripture is the word God wanted, but God worked through human authors in such a way we can identify their personalities, ranges of knowledge and other human factors. The Bible is no more precise than intended; numbers, dates, etc., sometimes rounded off to be general rather than literal, such as"decade" not always meaning exactly 10 years.
