Your alpha credentials & alpha impostors

[Creepy-male]

Most definitely. But that is when serious types particularly hate Alpha, some serious types never appreciate that "occasional joke here and there." The jokes must be done on their terms.

What terms are these? And what Serious types are you talking about?

EDIT

And I guess it depends on what you call a "joke". I appreciate having Super Seriousness interrupted with silliness, for sure.

For example, if I was having a serious discussion about my job and feeling adrift and purposeless, and happened to mention something about wondering what "the meaning of life" is, I might then abruptly interject a silly quote from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, laugh about it, perhaps go on a small "Monty Python Quote" tangent, and then return to the seriousness. Things like that. Some Serious types might read that as insincerity or something.

The terms are theirs to make and judge as to when it is an appropriate time to make a joke. And this is the behavior normally ascribed to the serious types in general, so the particulars really do not matter much in this case.

I think I have created a monster. I will hug him and pet him and call him George.

Then your book is riddled with error.

You're gravely deluded.

I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of cotton candy.

Wow you're making me like not being serious more and more.

But seriously, have you met your dual? I know one that bought an industrial tub of frosting for her and her boyfriend to put on cookies they made from time to time. "It's a better deal!" She was forcing frosting on people for months after that. They threw it out 2/3 full a while later.

[The Exception]

True alphas have no need to prove themselves.

I've seen pictures of this before but have never known what movie the scene is from. Does anyone know? Also, what on earth is happening in it...?

You should see Groundhog Day. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day_(film)

Surprise inspection, alpha! There are rumors of impostors in alpha. They threaten to weaken the pillars of Socionics and they will corrupt us all! Find the impostors! Purify the quadra! Everyone in alpha must prove themselves immediately or be transported to gamma. No one wants that.

PROVE THAT YOU ARE ALPHA NOW!

I have waffles. Waffles are good, and so are Alphas.

Thus, being in possession of waffles, I am obviously alpha.

mmmm roffles waffles
