THE SOCIONICS REALITY TV SHOW!

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

WOULDN'T THIS BE SO COOL GUYS?

;D

[KSpin]

Put 16 people in the Big Brother house, and make sure you have one of each type?

But... don't tell people that that's what you're doing, and only tell the audience once all the contestants are inside.

[Joy]

I've brought this up before, except I said a male and a female of each type. And that they wouldn't know how they were chosen or the point of the show.

[Expat]

Yes, that would be extremely interesting.

What we'd see is the 4 Gamma types becoming somewhat isolated, with the possible exception of the ESFp who however would be resented by the Alphas and Betas; the Deltas getting on more or less with everyone except with the "louder" Betas. The Alphas and Betas would quickly band together to kick the Gammas out, they'd be the first (if the inhabitants could vote, not the public; although the general public would probably kick the Gammas out first, too, except perhaps the ESFp).

The next to be kicked out would be the Deltas; the Alpha-Beta moments would depend on the precise personalities of those remaining. The INFp would be one of the last to be kicked out by the others.

Yes, because we are all out to get those poor Gammas.

Yes, because we are all out to get those poor Gammas.

The fact that you interpreted it that way is already a huge demonstration of different quadra values.

I did not mean it as in "poor little us Gammas" at all, in fact, if anything, it was a boast.

Interesting, because it seemed that you were playing-up to the "victim" dichotomy.

Gammas want to be isolated?

[Expat]

Gammas want to be isolated?

Not as a purpose in itself. But in any situation as such of a reality show with people having to get along not to be kicked out, they will even be happy to be kicked out rather than "sell out".

[Blaze]

i agree that the infp would be the sole survivor. but i disagree that the alphas and betas would gang up on the gammas. to me, it's the gammas that run everything.

[Expat]

to me, it's the gammas that run everything.

Not in the specific situation of a Big-Brother like reality show, I don't think so.

EDIT: the point I'm making is that it's a situation that is ideal for Alpha-Beta group behavior, with Deltas somewhat better able to integrate, with Gammas the least likely to fit in.

But would it be solely the Gammas which exhibit such behavior? I could potentially see the Alphas doing that but for different reasons.

care to comment on what if it was "Survivor" instead?

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

Would be interesting to see what activities the quadras excel in. Would also be very interesting for testing socionic theory in real life, which of course is the most common criticism. No matter what the task though, each quadra has their own function strengths to excel in. Whatever team does the worst gets one person kicked out in their quadra, maybe do it that way. And because of this, maybe it is better to have 32 people total (that's kind of a lot but...) A male and female of each type.

That makes sense, 32 episodes in a season, one person getting kicked out at the end of every episode? (whatever quadra did the shittiest or just other factors) I'm sure there are much better ways to do it though.

If a quadra starts getting really imbalanced, there are 'handicaps' of course, but they can still mess things up.

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

Also, you should know who is in your quadra. But you will have NO IDEA who is your Dual, Mirror, Identical and Activity, that is up for you and the viewers to discover.

IS JENNIFER JUSTIN'S DUAL, OR JUST HIS MIRROR!? VOTE NOW.....

lol

lol that's hilarious...hahahaha....the socionics game. advance to the whirlpool of gamma Fi....prepare to be read the riot act.....bwahahahaha

[Joy]

lol I'd need a social "handicap".... except that I think the concept of voting based on popularity is a waste of human mental capacity and would not desire to hang around such a place where I have been voted off but some rule said I get to stay in favor of a more "popular" person leaving.

lol that's funny...i'd prolly be voted off kinda early. my Fi polr is way too obnoxious!!! hahahaha

[KSpin]

Put a load of identicals into a house and see what happens. :-D

[Logos]

So the "Token Black Guy" would probably become the "Token ISTp Guy" or something along those lines?

[Ms. Kensington]

talking about this is annoying since it's not happening.

lol

I think if you know their quadra, the types would be easy to guess.

Now THAT would suck. Much better if it was a work situation, like on a team.

[Gilly]

A little...paranoid, are we?

Both ENTxs would be kicked off promptly because with every type represented, we would be the quickest to inadvertently get on someone's nerves

I imagine a good number of the types would follow suit, just because they generally tend to be the most likely to be involved in controversy, and I think if there is one type up there to get voted off, most of the Si/Ne Quadra types are going to vote against him/her, and given that, being prone to conflict, some of the Se types are probably going to be conflicting with one another, some of them will probably want to vote the others off as well.

So I think we end up with a largely Alpha/Delta crowd (assuming that my theory of Se self-destruction prevails ), in which case I think the Deltas probably take the cake just for the sheer fact that they are Aristocrats, and a team is always stronger than a bunch of individuals (not to mention the fact that the Alphas are already down 1 member, although ILEs wouldn't be of much use against Deltans )

Among the Deltans, IEEs would probably be first to go, just because, well, I think we all know why Given this, we have 2 rationals to 1 rational, so the irrational is out. Between the EII and the LSE...well...it depends on what kind of Reality show it is
