    39.5% of people on that list have received Alpha typings (74 out of the 187 people have been typed Alpha at least once).
    25.6% have Gamma ones.
    33.1% have Delta ones.

    Most users have multiple Quadra typings. UDP is the only forum member with all four.




    But wow, 42.7% have gotten Beta typings. That is a relatively high number of Betas. Why is Beta the most common mistyping?

    Hmmm, if people on the internet, people who never leave the house and have no clue what real human interaction is actually like, are the ones judging you based on random shit you choose to type for people who don't know you... I can see why Beta is a common typing! I mean, surely anyone who consumes alcohol and has a social life is Beta! Anyone with [internet] charisma or a sense of humor is Fe! Anyone who isn't a pussy in [internet] confrontation is totally Se, anyone who can pull of looking like they have any underlying understanding or insight into the essence of something [on the internet] is definitely Ni! Gee, no wonder everyone is pining to be a Beta. Look how cool their functions are.

    Luckily we're members of a forum FULL OF BETAS!
    For giggles, here's a list of who fits into each Quadra:

    I don't have much to say about this really. I just find it funny how EVERYONE IS BETA.


    And I hope I did my math right.
    maybe a saint is just a dead prick with a good publicist
    maybe tommorow's statues are insecure without their foes

    beta is not the most common mistyping, it is the most common typing. and it is such for a reason.

    This is meaningless information. Disregard any notion you may have that I was trying to prove a point with this.

    I swear.

    This is an interesting statement. Why do you think Beta is the most common typing, Niffweed?

    short answer: the subject matter is somewhat pseudoscientific and tends to appeal to Ni + Ti mindsets. in my estimation, this has been demonstrated by mass by the kinds of people that tend to be attracted to being fully fledged members of this community; i think there are a plethora of IEIs and ILIs, with what seems like it could be a fairly extensible base of beta STs. even if you go by self-typings, this seems to hold true.

    furthermore, consider the quadra breakdown of ashton's typings. i think that the breakdown of my typings or of the "consensus" typings is far more equitable, even if somewhat short on deltas (which i think also basically makes sense).

    Ah, the breakdown of your typings is more equitable than Ashton's typings. That must mean yours are more right than his.

    hardly, but it is rather telling of ashton's methods nonetheless.

    heh, allie, you REALLY spent too much time on this.

    Oh shut the fuck up dude, seriously. You mean to say your typings or the "consensus" list is the only one that really matters?

    Whatever the damn reason for the Beta typings, I think Allie does have a point, and that is that people with incredibly small amounts of human interaction to type a whole quadra/sets of people who they've never met is pretty fucking laughable.

    I think that niffweed's point was that the typings of Ashton and his followers distorts the figures.

    I act much more serious and subdued in real life than I do online. I feel the internet should be entertaining, and you should flare things up to look sexy. It's just a personal value of mine.

    However, I've find that most people aren't like this. Most people act the same way in real life as they do online. The problem is, I don't see many people's quirks on a message board- which is why it's so difficult to type them. Their videos help tremendously. I might make one soon myself. You'd probably go "Whoa! I wasn't expecting anything like that" if you actually saw a video of me. Maybe not. I'm just saying, you are exactly right- my internet balls are bigger than my real-life balls though I've met a few people in real life that I met online and that isn't really true of all of us.

    Look at dolphin's vids and then her posts. She come across as sweet and funny and good-natured (but also smart) and that's also what you get from her posts.

    The problem is just more pure abstract and psychobabble and not enough home-down gritty stories about life (which I try to share from time to time), which I have no idea why people don't share more of. It does make you wonder, if they've ever had anything raw in their lives.... but lol only God can judge. =p This whole socionics lifestyle (and yes, whether you like it or not we're all part of the socionics lifestyle, don't try to act like you're above it, even if you make fun of it we've all drunk the socionics kool-aid in one form or another) is based on a construct though. It doesn't have enough pure spit, cum, blood and tears.

    So, I don't understand why there should be a surprise that Ni is associated (rightly or wrongly) with "ignoring reality".
    Too many people have a 'just do it' approach to life and while the nitty gritty experiences are important, we're all still going to have our own perceptions and opinions of things, which to me is more interesting. What can I say, I'd rather read and use my imagination than go out and test my own beliefs, and so do many, many people. However, they change 'facts & statistics' so much I don't know what to believe anymore from supposedly experts, who seem to be just caught up in their head as much as us. I've only met very few communities that actually seemed to 'live' in the full sense of the word.

    When someone is describing their life and their views, I'd prefer they use enough concrete details as possible so I can understand where they're coming from. However, I also want to view their abstract, personal... fluid "spiritual" view on the situation too, otherwise you lose the humanity from the piece.

    I'm fine with Ni as "ignoring reality" because well, I do that a lot... I always have. What's so bad about it? Reality is reality, but perceptions of reality are the stuff that is actually interesting. I have a place in the real world (a normal, happily adjusted place where I don't call attention to myself), but flaring things up to entertain and liven up humanity- nothing wrong with that, as I don't think I'm doing anything to exploit people. Maybe people with weak Ni would disagree, though I don't know. Talking to my ESE mother is frustrating as she doesn't understand the theory behind the practice, and that's why it's hard for her to achieve things. I can't understand the practice behind the theory- and that's what gives me trouble.

    Are we talking about the same dolphin? That chick has so much spunk, lol. She's never come across as sweet and good-natured in her posts to me. She shoots from the hip and it's awesome. I have major <3 for dolphin. At the core she's a genuinely good person who shows genuine concern and understanding for the people she cares about, but all of that is wrapped in a package that doesn't take any crap. I love it. I was surprised to hear her voice for the first time because she's so soft-spoken, and soothing.

    The problem is just more pure abstract and psychobabble and not enough home-down gritty stories about life (which I try to share from time to time), which I have no idea why people don't share more of.

    Welcome to the realm of the logical, lol. I don't want to hear your story when I'm busy analyzing the theoretical foundation of this system.
