Alpha vs The World?

[calenwen]

Do you think that alpha types are more predominant than types from other quadras?

[Mediator Kam]

I am a proponent of the "Everyone in the world divided by 16" theory. Therefore, no. Of course, there won't be exactly the same number, but I don't see much alphas around, or more than average.

[strrrng]

Alphas have been the most prominent types IME. The J-subs, more so; delta J-subs seem the second most common.

[Lotus]

I think they're probably just more noticed, rather than there actually being more of them. Just look at Kamangir's avatar. It's difficult not to notice a type if they walk around with bleached raccoon on their head. Alphas just stand out, and they seem to like it that way.

I am simply attracted to that form of expression, that is all. I do not walk around with a bleached raccoon on my head nor would I want to. People start to get a false idea of who you are when you look like that, along with the wasted hours of work you would do to get that level of respect.

You know what I look like Allie, you put up my picture in the member's thread.

That's because we are consolidating our numbers in order to compete with the high-power beta and gamma quadras. We have two divisions, and they are The A-Team and Delta Force ... And we are goin to kick yo a$$!

I know. I was referring to the girl in your avatar who is probably ISFp.

Well, she is pretty good-looking, so yeah. ISFp.

lol. For whatever this is worth I made a point on choosing a very bright, edgy and powerful saxophone mouthpieces to play on my horns because it stands out, is very outwardly expressionate and can capture the energy and soul that I want to expel outward in the music I play.

I've generally noticed Delta instrumentalists being much more reserved in their presentation of the music and aren't looking for that same inciting kind of effect. So maybe there is something about Alphas being noticed more because of a certain outward expressiveness.

I can relate to this. I will say though, growing up I've lost a fair amount of that outward expressiveness. I no longer need the loudest stereo or nicest car like I did when I was younger. I seriously used to go around and be like, "hey everyone look at me..." in everything I did. Like wearing some red cleats with my yellow/white/black soccer uniform, A bright yellow Adidas shirt that I could flag a plane with, the bright white shoes with the black jeans...etc. I won't say I don't do it a bit now, but I'm very different with this than I was say... 5 years ago and earlier.

hahahahahahahahah aargghh

yeah, betta and gamma has their own divisions too:

the Stunticons, for instance, make a beta team



the Constructicons strike me as delta, however

I relate to this in ways, although I am still trying to lessen the amount of showy, ostentatious, and generally explosive behaviors I engage in I wasn't as directly expressive as you, but I would make a point to deliver certain comments and general emotional effects in group settings with a certain pungency that varied between charismatic and repulsive, lol. I prided myself on individuality and real self-expression, yet disliked it when others directly expressed themselves, or went out of their way to. I wanted to control that aspect in a sort of subtle way, I guess.

[MysticSonic]

I think what quadra you perceive to be the most prevalent is often related to what sort of environment you are in. Certain environments just stress certain quadra functions. I doubt you'd see too many ENTps or INTjs in a business environment. They'd be there, just not in high as numbers as I would expect, say, Se or Te valuing types.

Hi, I am an enigma.

You are not gonna believe me, but your signature reveals a lot about you

[Simon Ssmall]

You are not gonna believe me, but your signature reveals a lot about you

You are very perceptive person

[1981slater]

You are very perceptive person

So you are!!

[Khola aka Bee]

My signature is me...? Explain. I was more talking about comments previous pertaining to female SEIs being hard to find, but please, go on.

The more I read about Socionics, the more I see the similarities between people of the same type, I know lots of ISFps, in fact, 90% of the people I usually spend my time with are ISFps. They have features that I appreciate. Anyway, my secret cameras that survey people make me understand people better (evil grin on my face)

[Khola aka Bee]

You've seen me naked?!?!? OMG, you have cameras in my room, you've seen me naked, haven't you!

*cries and runs away*

[1981slater]

Running is useless: two guys with sunglasses are stalking you now

[Khola aka Bee]

Wearing sunglasses at night?

[Simon Ssmall]

Wearing sunglasses at night?

So they wouldn't stand out. Duh.

[1981slater]

Wearing sunglasses at night?

Yes, they need to hide their hi-tech eyes from observers. What if you saw a guy like this around you?

[eunice]

In the place I live in, the proportion of the quadra would be as follow:

Beta > Gamma > Alpha > Delta.

Do you live in a prison?

[1981slater]

lol, assuming you are really ILE, you're not the first one I've known who's a self-admitted voyeur.

Don't you think I am an ILE?

[1981slater]

yeah, maybe.

I don't give a shit: my polr is

[1981slater]

that's cool, I'm attracted to Fi PoLR, even though it's painful to deal with.

You are not gonna believe me, but that is what I*Fps are made for

[1981slater]

I believe you

Earth is not flat.
Bread makes you gain weight.
There are no bulls at large in Spain.

[Brilliand]

Earth is not flat.
Bread makes you gain weight.
There are no bulls at large in Spain.

And that's an INFp you're talking to.

How many bulls would be at large in a loaf of bread if Spain were flat?

How many loaves of bread would fit in Spain if a bull swallowed it?

[1981slater]

And that's an INFp you're talking to.

It depends on the skill of the bullfighter

[Brilliand]

It depends on the skill of the bullfighter

Which depends on how much bread he eats, which brings us to my second question.

We have two cases:
The bullfighter is skilled enough to prevent all bulls from swallowing Spain -> he eats all the bread he wants -> his skill level maxes out
The bullfighter is not skilled enough to prevent all bulls from swallowing Spain -> he eats all the bread that fits in Spain -> now how many bulls are left in the loaf of bread after the bull flattened Spain? And will the bullfighter ever escape from the belly of the bull?

[1981slater]

You definitely out- me

[Brilliand]

You definitely out- me

I think I switched to , actually.

[1981slater]

both of them, then

[Creepy-male]

Do you live in a prison?

After a fashion, yes.

I believe it's called private education.

yay.
