Dichotomic Groups
Lately I’ve been thinking about Quadra dichotomies and how they play into Interquadra groups. This arose when I noticed three major groups in my class at school. My own group seems to be Alpha-Delta, another seems Beta-Gamma, and the third is probably Gamma-Delta. Now, I got to thinking how two adjacent Quadras can only connect on one axis of functions (Ti/Fe, Te/Fi, Ne/Si, Se/Ni). If this is the case, in order to harmonize the two, the group would connect specifically on the set they can agree on.
As a result, the Alpha-Deltas would be primarily Judicious (Ne/Si), the Beta-Gammas Decisive (Se/Ni) and the Gamma-Deltas Serious (Te/Fi). Interestingly enough, the Judicious group has very little connection the Decisive group and there is also a bit of tension between them. From what I see, both groups have ties to the Gamma-Deltas here and there. And, the Serious group doesn’t seem to have an opposing group, which would theoretically be Merry (Alpha-Beta).
Not only do I think that types in certain social conditions will arrange into Quadras or Clubs, but I think that they might also naturally sort into these types of groups. If a Merry group did exist, I think the resulting alliances would split the groups and theoretically have them reorganized into Quadras (i.e. the Betas in a Decisive group would eventually side with Betas in a Merry group, etc.). However, from what I observe, there is no Merry group, and in such a case, these types of groups formed in place of Quadras.
Note: These groups certainly aren’t inflexible and there are exceptions (I think a Beta hangs out in my Alpha-Delta group of friends, for example). But generally I see this.
What do you think?
