    Default Politics and Socionics

    Well I've done a lot of thinking about the political side of socionics. I've came to the conclusion that certain functions are attributed to certain political beliefs. I believe that -Ti/+Te is the function of individualism, as it has to do with breaking things down and understanding the parts as individual properties. On the other hand +Ti/-Te would be the function of collectivism, as it has to do with implication and grouping things into a holistic manner. This means that -Ti/+Te is related to economics. I believe that +Ne/-Ni(-Se/+Si) is related to relativism, or unprovable truths. -Ne/+Ni(+Se/-Si) is related to absolution or provable truths. This would create a model that looks similar to this.

    I don't agree. Delta quadra values are about "live and let live", so Delta matches libertarianism. Beta values goes opposite in authoritarian: enforces collectivity and. Gamma values in right conservative (self-responsibility and punitiveness towards offenders) and Alpha goes left-liberal: collectivism, but not strongly enforced.

    Is it that you yourself are INTj that you like to fashion Alpha up there in the Nolan diagram?

    Yes, we know all about republicans: a selfish kind of free-market capitalism and punishment in some form for all those that do not fit in or comply.

    Of course noone is going to test as authoritarian. Authoritarian is basically about following the balance of powers. Anything could be considered authoritarian, for there to be a fascist following a fascist ideology has to exist. Many of the fascist ideologies had their roots in socialism.

    Deltas usually believe strongly in the free market, but they believe that there are moral absolutes. They don't look at personal issues like Betas and Alphas. Yes there are probably a ton of libertarian Deltas, actually the majority of them probably are live and let live. Thats not the point of my graph. Most republicans are probably actually Gamma because of their authoritative values. I'm just looking at the mind set with a relative standard to politics. Deltas believe in moral standards, so they will live themselves by conservative philosophies. It doesn't indicate in anyway that they are conservative with their overall politics. This just indicates their mindset.

    No no no no. Just plain no.

    I think whatever relationship between politics and type there is (and I think there probably is at least some tendency) is probably more along the lines of what consenting adult said.

    I must say more. Deltas don't believe in "moral standards". It's more about ethical choices, which are very case-by-case specific. It isn't what you think it is. "Moral standards" sounds more like a combination Se and Fe to me. It sounds like following or at least respecting authority anyway, which is more Se and not a Delta trait.

    I think by and large Deltas are probably more liberal than the average.

    Just to make sure: I wasn't talking about delta types, but delta values.

    Now when it comes to Deltas and their 'conservativeness', I don't think it's about politics at all. A stereotypical characteristic of the Delta person, from the perspective of the Delta person, is that they are okay with things as they are and feel there is no added value in progress, or having more of the same. It is not conservatism in the regular sense, i.e. resistance to change and keeping the status quo for self-serving purposes. So contrary to what you say, Deltas do look at personal issues. In fact, it's the only goddamn thing they care about!

    Deltas realize, more than other types perhaps, that it's the simple things in life that provide quality. It's not that they are conservative in the political sense, they are inclined to think that change actually makes things worse, not better. Deltas would be the perfect hunter-gatherers, I think. Just give me a hammoc and I'll be fine

    Exactly! Moral standards are for people who need a set of -rather arbitrary- instructions to rationalize the imposition of their own interests on other people. At an emotional level (not the intellectual level), deltas are more inclined to reject the validity of such morals and dismiss it out of hand as mere moralism (I stress: on a more emotional, subconscious level!). Of course, this does not mean that Deltas are immoral, it's only that they apply ethical evaluation on a case-by-case basis, thus are flexible in their ethical standards.

    Political orientation defines one's political mindset.

    Hitta, I think you should take a spell to be all those things you think you hate about us. Just for a day or so.... After all, you can't know whether you're really being of assistance to us unless your put yoursefl in our shoes, can you?

    From what I can see, there is no correlation between type and politics. You can go out and observe, and I would be willing to bet you that you will not find a correlation.
