    Default Inspired by Ezra

    If the humour styles of each of the quadras were personified who would they be?

    Delta humour = Robin Williams? I'm just suggesting that because I read somwhere that he is an ENFp.


    Edit: Is humour even quadra-related?

    I think so.

    Alpha: chaotic humor; absurd; Monty Python, Mr Bean, MASH the movie and the first 3 seasons of the sitcom. Seinfeld, Curb your Enthusiasm.

    Beta: focus on ridiculing others, or yourself. Ex: Porky's

    Gamma: pointing out stupidity and absurdity of a situation indirectly; irony, sarcasm. Ex: Blackadder

    Delta: funny stories about groups of people. Ex: the latter seasons of MASH; Friends, Frasier, Cheers.

    I do NOT like Alpha humour if that's what it is. Out of those I'd pick Delta.

    Oh no, it's brilliant. It's like a play the way the scenes are set up and the staging and the lack of dumb music and canned laughter. I love it.

    I thought the movie White Chicks was funny. Friends is funny.

    Gamma humor works for me.

    Mr. Bean is hilarious. But I do think that I get tired of it after awhile. It's like my appetite for it is limited.

    I can understand. I think my mother feels the same way. My dad, brother and I used to watch it and she would sit there and roll her eyes then leave the room.

    Do you not relate to his IP temperament at least?

    I've heard ESFj for Williams. There's also a good thread on quadra humor on The Socionics Workshop: http://www.socionicsworkshop.com/dis....php?f=12&t=38

    I'll have to think a bit about personified humor styles. I'm inclined to say one can split quadras even further - like Alpha NT (e.g., Jon Stewart) and Alpha SF (e.g., Mel Brooks).
