I'm really confused by this. Does a "Beta NF" subtype, for example, mean this type of ILE acts like an IEI/EIE, or that this type of ILE would have better intertype relations with Betas NFs than with Delta STs?

Woe, this is old school forum theorizing. I do not know if you should trust this chart. It could be made by one of us, it is not Gulenko or Augusta or any name-level Socionics person's theory... use at your own risk...

Inert subtypes stress the activating function, contact - the suggestive function.

For Inert subtype, ILE-Ne, this places more stress on their activating Fe, an ethical function, which make inert subtype closer to the NF club, hence the author called it the "Beta NF subtype".

For Contact subtype, ILE-Ti, the stress goes on their suggestive Si, a sensing function, hence the author called it "Delta ST subtype".

It's an arbitrary reshuffling of some labels that doesn't offer much new insight. May seem confusing at first, but it's actually easily derivable from contact/inert subtypes, if you consider how these subtypes affect function potential across type's model.
