WE have had many discussions on SI about what it means to be a fundamentalist. Your definition might not fit mine, and vice versa. We generally recognize Gospel-believing churches as evangelical, conservative evangelical, fundamental; I would add a fourth category: extremely fundamental.
By my definition, here is a rough breakdown that has many exceptions:
A Hyles-Anderson KJV only type church would be extremely fundamental.
As expressed in the image below: Top has Fundamentalism as a subset of Evangelicalism & bottom has Fundamentalism as a separate set entirely

This kind of rhetoric reminds me of some of the comparisons I heard from fundamentalists when they made uncharitable comments about evangelicals. Irony.
