Gamma forum has the least posts - why?

[stevENTj]

Gammas are out making money.

LOL...

My theory was that LIEs are too busy making money or figuring out new ways to make money to waste their time posting at a place like this. ILIs never get around to posting or doing anything anyways. ESIs are too busy making sure all of the LIE's bills are paid, or making sure that the LIE doesn't get themselves into too much trouble. And SEEs are out busy doing God knows what, but something.

[smilodon]

If you want to increase activity start making threads that will get responses such as free money for clicking this link.

[stevENTj]

Not a lot of LIEs here and most have better things to do. Not a lot of ESIs active and have better things to do. Not enough SEEs and have better things to do. ILIs don't like to initiate threads though have nothing better to do.

So what is it about Gammas in that they always have something better to do? Busy bodies? I personally have tons of other things I could be doing but my interests are broad and vary over time so I don't have time to explore all of my interests at once. I realized I hadn't posted here in like a year and wanted to see what's new or changed around here, and despite not really posting I've still had a continued interest in socionics.

gammas are sort of like lone wolves

I think that'd be an excellent way of describing ILIs who tend to be more detached and out there as the independent observers of all things. Don't think you could describe all of gamma like that, especially not LIEs or SEEs.

For a long while, I thikn delta was more dead than beta, but steve-entj missed those days, I believe. There's been a recent influx of delta people talking about various things, real life things.

[crazymaisy]

I browse around here sometimes, rarely though. I did lose interest to be here mostly when a bunch of posts of mine were lost and I had hardly any left after that, not that many in the first place and it was very deflating to nearly "start over" so I didn't do much after that.

I get busy with other things, though not much of anything. Whatever that means.

This is the first post to inspire me to respond for real. Other times I cancel my response I've started to write to whatever things I have attempted to in the past couple of years, for the most part.

I view myself as a "thread killer" from some other forums (not personality forums) so that has colored how I think about responding on most threads on this site.

Also, it's pretty annoying to be an ILI and watch other ILI being accused of being something else, and see them fade away. The J/P switch thing being an early harbinger of my discontent here. FWIW

[Olinda]

Gamma welcome to, I rise from the dead to say everybody: hi,hey, hello

[crazedrat]

because we usually dont ask dumb questions which need massive answering

[krieger]

Gammas are more likely than the other quadras to view this theory as pseudoscience and are less comfortable with the lack of uncontested information and poor testability of claims being made.

That's what socionics claims for the most part. I don't see any particular way in which it is wrong. The low post count of this forum is in a certain way a correct prediction of the theory.

I believe what you wrote, I just cannot relate to it myself.

Personally I'm always the one hardest defending that socionics is a (social) science, with enough easy accessible empirical data, while ENTp's, INFp's and I forgot which types more, try to claim it as a pseudoscience or at the same level as enneagram.

[crazedrat]

seems like crappy intuitive reasoning disguised as evidence coming from making the quickest and simplest connection in order to put the matter to rest

Ok, but if you believe socionics is - or has the potential to be - a full blown science, you will probably frown on the way it is being treated by a lot of the people on this forum. Most people type on the basis of subjective impressions and abstract definitions that are far removed from anything that can be called "empirical data". I'd imagine that to a person who wants to treat socionics scientifically, browsing this forum would be a pretty tiresome experience at times. I've actually heard several Te types around here say so in unequivocal terms.

Maybe I should have said instead: "Gammas are likely to think the way people on this forum treat the theory is pseudoscientific".

I'm an INTj. It's what I do.

[Azeroffs]

I can agree with this. It's really hard to find things on this forum that sounds like it could actually be related to socionics.

I think the main reason why this subforum is so empty though is because gammas tend to only talk when they're looking for or conveying useful information. At least the NTs anyway. Most of the SFs just flat out have better things to do then talk theory on a website.

That sounds more like it.

And since real exchanges of information belong in General Discussion anyway...

[Joy]

Alpha, Beta, and Delta each all have at least twice as much activity.

Why is this?

1.) When we want to talk to each other, we're more likely to use PM's or other forms of one on one communication.

2.) Perhaps we're less likely to see a particular draw to post in our own little section instead of posting in other parts of the forum. Perhaps the results of the Democratic + Serious dichotomies? There's no need for Gamma fan fair, and like Brilliand said, real exchanges of information belong in General Discussion anyway.

3.) A lot of the posts are from people who probably aren't actually Gamma anyways. And saying so creates a scene.

[crazedrat]

you make more posts then anyone on this board joy

[sarinana]

Why some types aren't interested in socionics?

ILI - because he prefers to talk only with extremely interesting/intelligent people. So he mostly talks with himself.

SEE - because he is always busy at some kind of party.

LIE - because socionics isn't involved in the course of theory of economics.

ESI - because he thinks that communicating on internet is a waste of time.


No offense. Just found this joke on the russian forum.

[Joy]

I've made more posts than anyone on this board. (I don't see what that has to do with this topic though.)

[Olinda]

SEE - because he is always busy at some kind of party.

I haven't been busy at some kind of party for ages....



So it's time to change it !

Ok I don't find any sense to write here because I'm one of users of polish forum...

But it would help poke holes in our echo chamber.

[Olinda]

I have no time too But I will try sometimes write.....

Is there any SEE except me ?

[Joy]

Khamelion

[Olinda]

Is he/she dead like others from gamma or still alive ? :wink:

[Joy]

She doesn't have access to a computer all that often these days, I believe.

[The Greeter]

Gamma can be quite slow, but the reason it has the least amount of topics is, when the forum was vandalized, Gamma had most of its content deleted (at least, substantially more than the other Quadras).

[Joy]

That was a long time ago though. It explains why we have fewer topics, but not why we have fewer active topics.

[xkj220]

Because gammas, having Se blocked with Fi, and valued, do not really feel any sense of adherence to groups. They might to individual persons, however. Hence, such labels as "gamma quadra", etc, bear little to no importance to them. Democrats, and in contrast to alphas, neither Si or Fe valued.

ah yes, is it the 'belong to a group' thing?

interesting.

That's what I was talking about with #2.

[Olinda]

I don't agree with #1 and #2, for instance on polish forum, gamma has quite a lot posts, almost most of all.

And because of , in my opinion, we should care for relations, to build some and choose with who will we do it- with who build relations ?

I think that in 80 % Gamma will choose Gamma

[crazedrat]

2. is correct, 1. is wrong and dumb, 3 i didnt read because i cant handle having your tone in my head

[Joy]

I used to post more in Gamma. I guess I don't now because I know that most of the responses are going to be from people who probably aren't Gamma anyways. If I have something related to Gamma to say, I might as well post it in General Discussion or the "is it type related" section.

[Blaze]

Alpha, Beta, and Delta each all have at least twice as much activity.

Why is this?

the forum's been in beta status lately.

[Blaze]

Yes, beta is dominant, with delta providing background support, during this current post-alpha phase. However, all eyes are on alpha as it is anticipated it will wax back to full glory and excitement in the coming weeks.

yeah you never know when that intuitive fire is gonna start back up again...logic tells us that gamma is up next. get ready for big business.

[Creepy-male]

However, all eyes are on alpha as it is anticipated it will wax back to full glory and excitement in the coming weeks.

The solution is to retype me as some sort of Alpha again, clearly.
