Result of: "how your quadra views other quadras"

[UDP]

So, knowing we are inherently set to a different disposition with other people, what are we going to do with this information? Are you just going to try to make relationships based on your quadra? Or....?

[Slacker]

I have lots of friends of different quadras - including Alphas! Including INTjs even!

I use it like I use all of Socionics. If I think someone is being WHATEVER and it's relevant to their type/quadra or our relationship, I say to myself something like, "She doesn't mean to come across that way - it's just a supervision thing and not intentional - let it slide off your back." So I am able to step back and not take things personally that I might otherwise.

the quadra thing happens in real life when people of the same quadra group together and click along the lines of their quadra values. so for example, here at the forum a couple of people from a given quadra might start interacting along quadra lines, but it's brief, and everyone usually returns to the main forum. so i think people from other quadras would notice when this happens and might judge the nature of the interaction between the members of said quadra, but my main issue is that it's not like there's these strict groups of people who are in the same quadra with an inviolate boundaries around them. social stuff is a lot more free-flowing than that. people move in and out of groups all the time. but you do get a certain synergy going with members of your own quadra. groups like this would stick together mostly in leisure type settings, in other words, with people chosen as friends.

but there are many other social arenas including work, church, school, hobby stuff etc, where you may or may not find many members of your own quadra, so it's important to find value in the values of the other quadras, because all these value have a certain worth in different kinds of situations.

so, kinda like SM said, i have all kinds of friends, from all the different quadras, so who the hell cares what quadra they are in.

you are going to die. live you shall for a number of years more with this utterly useless information, knowing forever in your heart that it is totally and completely inapplicable to life's unforgiving happenstance. then, slowly, solemnly, you shall die. you shall die for ever and ever, without ever having revealed the secret of your knowledge of this remarkable, fascinating, yet unequivocally useless information to those who succeed you only to themselves die one day.

So... life in general then?

[aestrivex]

no, because information about how other people perceive things is totally, absolutely, unequivocally irrelevant to anything that you might ever do. under absolutely no circumstances whatsoever could that ever have some practical value, for example by getting along with someone else. never.

are you kidding niffweed? perception is everything in the real world.

If you know how others perceive you and how they prefer to be treated has enormous value especially in business relations and all kinds of short term interactions. In long term you are probably not able to adapt your behavior but if you need to keep someone happy / not piss someone off for a short while it does help a lot to know their socionics type.

That sounded like it was very heavy on the sarcasm to me. Particularly the second thing he wrote.

That's actually quite profound.

Although morbid.

morbidity and carbon are the two staples of life.

I thought it was Death and Taxes?

Death = Morbidity, Taxes = the Carbon the paper is made out of.

[KSpin]

Taxes = the Carbon the paper is made out of.

Not quite.

[Exodus]

morbidity and carbon are the two staples of life.

Or is life the staple of morbidity?

[aestrivex]

morbidity is actually the life of staples.

Profound? You have never heard it before?

The very words of niffweed himself are "useless information", by his own definition.

I like to think of him as a random text generator that occasionally spits out something interesting.

Because I said so.

[Khamelion]

I'm going to ignore the information. It is irrelevant to me.
