    I really liked this one beta topic about beta stereotypes. My dad's an estp and my sister's an infp, so it was interesting.

    I think that would be good. Alpha stereotypes!

    The uncovered on socionics.com? They make Entps sound like some evil manipulative mastermind. For some reason I like the description a lot. I don't know why.

    1. Buses transport people.
    2. People drive buses.
    3. People design the buses, and people build the bus using materials from the earth and techniques developed by people over time.
    4. When people die, they are buried and eventually absorbed into the earth.
    So, recapping:
    Buses contain people, are operated by people, are designed by people and constructed by people out of material that includes people. Therefore, buses are people too.

    I love the description, it's so bloody accurate. It's not really manipulative imo...
    Yeah, and I love the little pop-up warning that it's going to hurt my feelings. I think the more negative the description about us, the more I seem to like it. I still don't know why.

    The self-depreciating humor of Alpha.

    So is this just a brainstorm thread and will the selected topic just get a new thread?

    I'm sooooooooo sad right now. Sarom, my right hand man at work and one of my best buds had his last day at work today. He's moving back to Chicago where he's from to be closer to his family. See, at work, me and Sarom accounted for about 80% of the work being done and now that he's gone i'm left with keeping things going by myself. We have a group of 6 of us and the two of us literally did most of the work on any given day. I party'd with him tonight and realized it was most likely the last time I'd see him, ever. This is seriously very sad because I can't see work ever being the same again. He was my workaholic when I wasn't there and I have nobody I can trust to get things done now that he's gone. Today was his going away party at the bar and now I'm smashed. sorry if I seem like a sap. I'm just really sad about today.
    On a lighter note, I get to see my Chicago White Sox play in Seattle this weekend, Friday and Saturday actually. I'm hoping to have a blast while I'm up there, pics to come! If none of my posts make any sense it's because I'm unconscious at my keyboard... werd.

    2morrow I go to Seattle for the first time and I'm stoked! I'm gonna hit up Pike's Place Market and watch fish get thrown all over the place, then I'm gonna hit up the space needle and take pics from super High up... then I'm gonna most likely get a bit drunk at some cool sports bar downtown. Then pass out drunk. The next day I'm gonna wake up and do some more touristy shit... then go to watch the white sox woop that ass of the Mariners... who are 1st in the Wild Card Race at this point... Although I can't hate on the M's too much since they beat the livin crap out of the Sox earlier in the week. But since i'll be there I'll have faith and I'll now predict a 4-1 Sox victory on Friday and a 3-2 Victory on Saturday. If I'm wrong... well oh who cares... it'd be a lot more funny if I was right.

    Anywho, I think it's time to go pass out now. Peace out homies.

    * how do we take control over socionics?
    We disguise ourselves as betas, gammas, and deltas by changing our signatures. Then we filter ourselves into their quadras.

    * why would we take control over socionics?
    Because we're the Alphas

    * just what would we do if we did control socionics?
    We would create chaos within the quadras with our new fake identities.

    Yeah, everyone should join in this time - that way, we can claim all the non-Alpha types as Alphans, because they won't know who is who :wink:. Ooh, think of the chaos!

    We did for a while. I do not think that the Deltas would take me seriously if I went around parading as an INFj again.
