    The difference between Delta and Gamma is the intuition and sensing axis. Deltas like NeSi and Gammas like NiSe.

    All the general rules for understanding the differences in introverted and extroverted elements from the thinking and feeling axis also apply here.

    Intuition is related to the ability to do what I call "ideation." In your mind, you can perhaps feel what a balloon feels like to touch. You might know that latex smells like. But the simple idea of a balloon that can call to mind the sensory memory of the balloons you've experienced in the past, and the ability to imagine balloons that are different from that, is related to intuition. I feel like intuition is the hardest to explain, so I'm going through all this before I talk about the differences.

    The essential difference between Ne and Ni in practice is that Ne can handle multiple chains of ideational association at the same time. So they can switch back and forth between one chain and another, carrying on essentially multiple topics simultaneously. Ni, on the other hand, is serial, like I've described before. It handles one chain of abstract associations, ideas, themes, or topics at a time.

    Ni types will view Ne types not necessarily as blunt per se, but as distracting. My ability to hold my train of thought is dependent on my intuition. Contrarily, Ni types prefer to express their ideas and worldviews and trains of thought obliquely to avoid distracting someone else. Doing so of course can have a rather strong yin effect on Ne, almost gravitationally pulling Ne into its desired direction through its subtlety, and Ne types prefer you display your train of thought and worldview up front.

    The sensing part of the axis is similar. Gammas prefer strong sensory impulses, Se, and Si has a yin effect on Se. Se introduces a sensory impulse from outside, while Si on the other hand simply alters its sensory scanning pattern to include new stimuli. Types with weak but valued Se require strong sensory impulses to be able to sense the outside world. They cannot alter their own sensory scanning patterns to include new stimuli. Si for Gammas results in the same type of weird gravitation I mentioned above. Si can determine what Se will sense because of its ability to alter sensory scanning habits. So Se types will think of Si types as sneaky, because they don't introduce the strong sensory impulse they need to tell the Se type what they're up to. Of course, to Si types, they simply see their behavior as being considerate. I'm not making a lot of body language or being too loud, so I'm being nice to you. That's what they think. Se to them is distracting. It pulls them away from the cognitive world of ideas and interferes with Deltas ability to sense their own bodies as well as the world around them. They only require subtle sensory impulses to maintain their presence in the physical world.

    So in spite of all the differences, how do you tell if someone is actually a fucked up asshole? Check and see if they can get along with people of their own quadra, accounting for major differences like religion and politics. If they can't do that, they probably have some issues.

    Intuition is typically the least recognized and least understood of areas, so I probably didn't explain that as well as could be done.

    Deltas will see Gammas as hiding their beliefs and worldviews, so they'll feel unsafe because they won't know if the "other" holds a contrary perspective. A lot of the fear of Islam in the West comes from the fact that the religion is typically held by Gammas. Gammas don't express their beliefs directly, and Deltas will antagonize them due to lacking a feeling of safety around them. You don't know what they're up to, so they could be up to anything.

    The big problem with these issues is that when people feel slighted is when they usually start to feel like dominating others. People don't care about me, so why should I care about them? Most people who are not injured care about others. They just don't know how to care about others who are different from them. Misunderstanding produces pain and malice. The feeling usually runs, "I'm not getting what I need, so I'll take what I want."
