    Default Alpha impression of Delta groups

    I've been hanging out with a group of primarily Deltas lately. Mostly males, 1 or 2 females at times, most of them are single and they seem unmotivated to change this. So far there have usually been 4-7 of us at a time, and here's what I've noticed.

    1) Eating has to be done early in the evening and usually is quite a big process. Another group of deltas, mostly female, I used to hang out with, would try to feed me immediately when I showed up, and be fixing coffee/tea/treats the whole night. Love it.
    2) They REALLY like physical activity, half of their suggestions for things to do include going outside and doing some kind of sport or excercise.
    3) The STs seem really into "pranks", on individuals, or even to the extent of destroying property.
    4) After the initial planned activities they all get bored and no one has ideas of what to do. Everyone kind of lounges around and makes a lot of silly jokes for a while.
    5) Eventually the LSE, usually in conjunction with the IEE, will initiate some manner of "serious" conversation about people they know or social issues or morality. This continues for hours until it's late in the evening and everyone drives home exhausted.

    I like hanging out with Deltas because their Ne/Si is always pretty chill, they're usually not constantly talking in an exhausting fashion like Betas, and they have good food. Their Fi doesn't really bother me too much because they're all pretty nice. My favorite is the ISTp dude who is incredibly lazy and a great person.

    I do get really bored when they hit the point where the conversation gets very Te/Fi as in 5. I don't care about most social issues, and they're not enthusiastic about my joking stereotypes of different opinions/values - this is SRS BZNESS. Once they start talking about the motivations of the actions of people they know (he doesn't do x because he FEELS blah blah blah) I start to zone out and have absolutely nothing to contribute.

    Overall good people.

    I think that could be said for pretty much any groups of people.

    this is funny. But funny things are usually true I guess...I think the activities Deltas do vary a lot, but the ESTj/ENFp discussion of morality or Fi-issues LOL...yeah I enjoy that a lot actually.

    It is all very serious

    I'm not sure about the actual activities though. My friends and I usually go out. The two times we went to someone's apmt there were lots of snacks (usually desert-focused) and hot chocolate/tea/coffee involved though...you could be onto something there...and I could definitely end up in a "serious" discussion w/ an ESTj about some issue, but I'd rather keep things light if it's in a big group.

    I'd suspect the ESTj and ENFp would team up to think of a fun place to go.

    I usually really like Alphas, though that silly sense of humor can confuse me at times (I want to understand it, but don't always get the joke), but it is still cute even if I don't fully understand it
    Hi! I'm an ENFP. :-)

    Singularity may be right in that, generally, this could be any group. For example, with my group of friends what Banana Pancakes wrote describes our dynamic very well. My group consists of members of every quadra. But if it is Delta, I agree with everything except for the early dinner. I don't really care when we eat as long as we do as we planned.

    I've had the exact same experience.

    I think that if some Delta were to talk about motivations with me now I'd be able to engage more, but still have a Fe humor thrown into it which seems to go over their head.
