Blood elves, most beta race in WoW.
Highly theatrical in their clothing and architecture. They are aristocratic as hell, and are obsessed with obtaining personal and collective power
. The social order is very hierarchical and formal, and they are very attracted to study and use of the arcane
.
Blood elves have a dislike for the more down to earth and egalitarian races such as the tauren. (Who I think are delta) But have a respect for the forsaken, who are a mix of gamma and twisted alpha.
Discuss!

... ehem... anyway. Yes, the trolls are definitely Alpha. Laid-back, easy-going and carefree, great love for... addictive pleasures.
And I'd definitely agree with BE being Beta and Tauren being Delta. Not sure about the Forsaken...
Love the topic though, Neotropic!
I would agree with the Darkspear as alpha irrational, certainly. I also appreciate that double entendre, if that was intentional.
ThanksLove the topic though, Neotropic!I was reading some socionics theory, then started thinking about blood elves for some reason.
I think this list is pretty good. The undead give me very mixed signals. The Apothecary society is NT, I will say that much.Humans: Gamma
Night Elves: Beta/Gamma
Dwarves: Delta
Gnomes: Alpha
Draenei: Alpha/Delta
Worgen: Beta
Orcs: Beta
Undead: Beta/Gamma
Trolls: Alpha
Tauren: Delta
Blood Elves: Beta
Goblins: Alpha
Death to all who oppose us! But yeah, I have no shame.Nerdzzzzzz

I actually like the Forsaken as Gamma, that makes a lot of sense. They're the most civilised and widespread horde race (barring the original horde races). The Royal Apothecary Society is definitely a mix of NTs, with some of them being very twisted Alphas (like the real-world Angel of Death). I think their old-world focus on actually developing a plague speaks of Te though. I'm out of the loop with post-cataclysm Forsaken culture.
I had the Blood Elves as being Gamma SF due to the whole "don't piss off the wrong people", but that works better as being Beta if I think of it in terms of Ti+Se and Aristocracy.
I don't see how Goblins could be contested as Alphas. I think the Trade Princes are caricatured Gammas though. (Money! Power! Politics!)
Horde leader-wise:
Baine Bloodhoof: ?
Thrall: IEI. Duhhhh.
Garrosh Hellscream: SEE? Fascist son of a bitch, oozes Se, but I don't necessarily see much Ti except in how rigidly he organises the new Horde as opposed to Thrall's egalitarian and very loose style. By that token he could work as an SLE I guess.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: ESI. Completely single-minded focus on vengeance while Arthas was still alive. Broody. Now that Arthas is gone, she's back to sorting her people out.
Vol'jin: ISXx. Has that whole "immovable object" thing going. Cautious in making decisions too. The way he deals with Garrosh's antics as Warchief is not necessarily inconsistant with Si-dominance. I could accept him as SEI, just based on my own experiences with being hyper-loyal to causes independent of the people involved. I kind of think LSI.
Lor'themar Theron: does he even have much of a presence in-game?
Trade Prince Gallywix: ? Similar problem to above. All I could guess is a really silly version of SXE based on how self-advancing he is and totally devoid of any kind of moral scruples. Typical Goblin.

Either that or EIE.
I never liked WoW (older Warcraft is ok), but the Lore always interested me. Especially Thrall.. it's pretty original, for an orc.
Iunno, the whole way he used to try and keep the world from tearing itself apart at the seams politically strikes me as being pretty typical of IXFps. He had a similar role to Jaina, though I know nothing about anything about the Alliance.

He has a lot of backstory though. On the one hand, very overtly proud, has the whole Elven arrogance thing about him. On the other, seems very humble in that he's a genuinely committed statesman. He still styles himself "Regent Lord" and considers Quel'thalas to be without any rightful king, with the loss of Sunstrider.
I would put him as LSI. I would then shift Vol'jin to SLI.

Good evening Mister Kettle. Looking very black yourself, might I say.
Sig. You are awesome. Enjoy being such.
Easy Day
These are the general vibes I always got when I used to play.
Humans: Gamma
Night Elves: Beta/Gamma
Dwarves: Delta
Gnomes: Alpha
Draenei: Alpha/Delta
Worgen: Beta
Orcs: Beta
Undead: Beta/Gamma
Trolls: Alpha
Tauren: Delta
Blood Elves: Beta
Goblins: Alpha
Not bad dj.
I suppose this cements that one friend of mine as being Delta ST as opposed to Beta ST (one cannot simply big-and-loud their way into Beta)
His main dude is a Dwarf, he plays Humans and Draenei also, he thinks Tauren are big and dumb but doesn't have a huge thing against them, and he hates the living shit out of elves - especially Blood Elves! He'll camp the living hell out of a Blood Elf and just make things hell for the person, due to them being a Blood Elf...

Idk about that woofl. But my ESI friend loves the dwarves and thinks the horde is inferior. I really like playing as a blood elf, night elf or worgen, even if they're supposedly Beta, as well as trolls, tauren and dwarves.
The ones I don't like are gnomes, draenei, orcs and goblins. Not really much of a pattern.
He plays Night Elf and has a badass mohawk.
I sincerely doubt Thrall as INFp. Thrall's immediate instinct is to attack and aggressively exert his dominance. Some of the early Outland quests in Hellfire Peninsula show this, when he wanted to leave Orgrimmar to help the orcs there, but his advisers cautioned him stay back.
Thrall is older now and wise, and concerned with bringing the world together, yes. That may seem INFp. But I see this as an age thing, maturity. Thrall's whole life has been riddled with incidents of fighting and aggression, and he is very impulsive and has a quick temper. I'd say ESTp isn't out of the question for Thrall. The INFp-ness just comes with his age, as he's trying to dualize.

I mean, c'mon, what Alliance player DOESN'T hate Belfs? Even most of the Horde players hate them as well.
I think orcs are pretty Beta. I was an orc shaman and I had a spiritual connection with that dude.
