I don't know what subtype I would fall into, or the definition of the classification. I had thought that my inclination was towards Fi, but, who knows... Also, I don't think that it would really make any difference for me actually. Btw, my MBTI type is INFJ as well.
I would not have guessed MBTI INFJ for you for some reason but back to socionics. You do not come across like a Fi INFj, they usually are rather "softer" and less "aggressive", much like poster Minde. I(N)Fjs can sometimes (not in all cases) come across as overly and maybe even inapropriately forceful without realising it, perhaps for them it is related to what you have mentioned down below like underestimating their capacity to use a form of or something. Polrs are interesting.

is something that needs developing in my case. However, I seem to underestimate my capabilities of Se, at least, based on what others tell me.I've heard people tell me that I am physically tough, which is something that surprises me, since I'm always self-conscience about it. Another thing that I have learned from ESTps, although from other types as well, is in what situations to use force and when to "let things go." Knowing when to apply is problematic for me at times, which is why it's good to see someone who does know when to use it appropriately. I've no problem getting aggressive, but I can have bad timing . I can't imagine having an ESTp roommate though...

What I think is that the philosophical concept of utilitarianism originated from a Betian. It is such a logical concept, yet it disregards the individual with the ends justifying any means. That might be the reasoning for their actions, but I'm not sure. In essence, that is probably the reason that I, and probably all of the delta quadra, will always disagree with Beta.
Anyway, I am not going to challenge your ideas much in this thread (I predict too much tiresome aggro with too little useful info in return) but I feel the desire to say that not all or even most betas think the ends justify the means , just ask them what they think, and I bet there are in fact some deltas with that mindset too so I would question the basis for your idea that it originated from a beta person. That type of atitude is unlikely to be strictly quadra specific, maybe it is more type specific or just an individual thing.
