Halides represent a special case:
They are o,p directors (+R effect )
They are deactivating ( -I effect )
Most other other substituents fall into one of these four categories:
1) +R / o,p / activating
2) +I / o,p / activating
3) -R / m / deactivating
4) -I / m / deactivating
+R / -I / o,p / deactivating
They are o,p directing groups that are deactivating

SOME GENERAL RULESSOME GENERAL RULES
1) Activating (o,p) groups (+R, +I) win over deactivating (m) groups (-R,-I).
2) Resonance groups (+R) win over inductive (+I) groups.
3) 1,2,3-Trisubstituted products rarely form due to excessive steric crowding.
4) With bulky directing groups, there will usually be more p-substitution than o-substitution.
5) The incoming group replaces a hydrogen, it will not usually displace a substituent already in place.
