    Default What could my letters be?

    I started telling a bit about myself in my intro thread, it went like

    Ah yes - a My Little Pony reference *tosses splash in Alpha with the other My Little Pony enthusiasts*



    Have you considered ESE yet? Aside from you giving off mega Alpha Quadra vibes, I'm picking up Extratim and Positivist from you big time... that, alone, doesn't cement you as ESE; ILE's still open if I'm right about all of those, but I think you're ESE (Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony has been determined as ESE, so you'll go over really well here I think)
    Haha. I'd be more of a mix between Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash. Ponies should always be the number one method in whatever you're doing.

    On the quadras, I relate the most to Alpha. Next is Beta (I especially relate to the part trying to bring people to the group. I can't stand seeing someone who looks rejected. Even if they're doing it on purpose. Yet, I'm not really a big group person lol)

    I'm not sure what the difference between the two is.


    Gamma and Delta look boring.


    On the types, ESE and ILE are both possibilities, but I'm not very sure.
    It may look like weird questions, but what is the difference between Alpha and Beta and the difference between ILE and ESE ?

    I think you should post this in "general discussion."

    Deltas are not boring. Extraverted Delta types are quite fun. They come up with many ideas and they like many different activities. They have lively humor and entertain our introverts quite well.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    It's a whats my type thread lulz.

    Relevant Quadra Info:

    blocked with
    Types from the Alpha Quadra enjoy freely exchanging new ideas and theories as a form of intellectual leisure. They like to systematize knowledge and create new categories and speculative hypotheses without necessarily intending to see their theories tested or implemented (subdued extraverted logic).

    blocked with
    This quadra enjoys carefree emotional expression and sensory delights and is able to derive never-ending pleasure from simple things — funny stories, exotic dishes, family picnics and group outings, and visual and performing arts.
    As far as ILE v ESE goes the first would be "better" with ideas/theories and the second with expression/sensoryDelights although both enjoy both

    Duality and Quadras

    The Quadra is the group of 4 types linked with the relationships of duality, mirror and activation. It is simple: let us take, for example, the type intuitive-logical extravert. His strongest functions are extraverted intuition and introverted logic. If we take the same functions in the reverse order, it will be the logical-intuitive introvert. And then, we will add the duals of these types, i.e., sensory-ethical introvert and ethical-sensory extravert.

    What is the Quadra? This is a group of COMMON VITAL VALUES. The Quadra is something more than just a sum of 4 types: in communication within a Quadra, they obtain some new characteristics in addition to what we learned from the descriptions of these 4 types. It is like NaCl in chemistry, which is not a mixture of Na and Cl but something different.

    There are 4 quadras. In socionics, they are referred to by Greek letters (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta) or by numbers (1, 2, 3 and 4).

    It is interesting to watch the role of Quadras in history. The first Quadra (the types Seeker, Mediator, Bonvivant and Analyst) usually begins reforms but never succeeds in their completion – for this it is not enough decisive. The intuitive types of this Quadra are often known as dreamers-idealists, such as Einstein or Sakharov, while sensory types are known as leaders of amorphous regimes, not democratic, but also too mild to be called dictatorships – such as Dimitrov, Arafat, Nikita Khrushchev.

    The second Quadra very rarely invents its own ideas – it rather implements already invented ideas, often with “decisiveness” that sometimes turns into cruelty. This quadra, on the one hand, is full of romantic writers and religious authorities (intuitive types) and successful military commanders and managers (sensory types), but it is also known for many dictators – in fact, most of dictators whose biographies have been studied by socionists had belonged to the types of the 2nd Quadra: ******, Ceausescu, Hussein, Lenin, Pinochet etc.

    The third Quadra is similar to the 2nd quadra for its voluntarism and belief that “competition decides everything!”, but it is much milder by its methods than the 2nd Quadra. The intuitive types of this quadra are practice-focused intellectuals who develop methods instead of hypotheses – such as Newton (he often said “I never invent hypotheses!”), Bill Gates, etc. And sensory types of this quadra are often successful politicians – such as Silvio Berlusconi, Jacques Chirac, Richard Nixon etc.

    The fourth Quadra can be called Perfectionists. Intuitive types of this Quadra are very attentive to all manifestation of people's talents, examples –Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Mark Twain; and sensory types of this quadra are perfect in “getting big results without making much movements and noise”, examples – Margaret Thatcher, Helmuth Kohl, etc. Politicians of the 4th quadra are successful in stable societies.

    The problem is that I sadly am not a dictator, making this harder to relate to. I understand it may be a bit weird since most of the people here are very famous artists or politicians, but I'm just an average human in a basement. Is there any kind of description fitting for the kind of weirdo that I am?

    Do I kind of look like a Beta? Or really Alpha? I wanna be an Alpha male. Plz!

    that is indeed an issue, but nothing you cannot correct in the next couple of years - go and take over a country, then we can work on your type

    A fun LSE/SLI/EII, I'd like to see that.. Compared to the other quadras I'd say that yes, indeed, we are extremely boring. And I freaking love boring people.

    Some LSEs like to be the life of the party; I guess it's related to creative and role. Think traditional beer-drinking all-American dude.
