    Default How each Quadra argues

    In the interest of promoting harmony and civility between members of different quadras, I'm interested in discussing how each Quadra argues.

    Let's start with Alpha, but I'd like other representatives of other Quadras to describe the terms upon which they argue.

    For an Alpha, a debate is not exclusively about the topic we're debating, but the terms we're debating about, and upon which we're basing our assumptions. If I say religion is invalid, the discussion is not just about whether this is the case or not, but what "invalid" means.

    Even once we're "certain", that "certainty" has a limit: we still always allow for our opinions to be wrong, opening up the possibility that we haven't considered something; up until the point we've built a perfectly defensible fortress of logic in our minds (Egbert and Labcoat are the best examples of this on the forum).

    Yes, every Alpha's argument hinges on the assumptions of my little pony and pedophilia is a good thing.

    We simply wish too penetrate the ideal of our childhood with our penis through the symbol of a woman's vagina. Makes perfect sense.

    That sounds like what every debate is like.. people questioning assumptions and defining terms.\
    ALpha: Bad ideas which they cant seem to grasp are bad ideas
    Beta: Will argue with the agenda of causing a stir or entertaining themselves
    Gamma: Argues the conservative, standard position
    Delta: Takes the pussy route & acts offended

    Deltas: We are passive-aggressive, making a pointed effort to avoid the "elephant in the room." We'd rather complain to an uninvolved third party, than bring up our issues with each other in person. I have observed this particularly in my mother- and father- in law (EII and SLI Activators); and also similar tendencies in myself towards each of them.

    Interestingly, I have no problem bringing up personal issues with my ILI husband; it must be either because of our Quadra difference, or perhaps simply because he's my husband and I believe it's important for spouses to communicate and be honest and straightforward with each other.

    You people are ridiculous. OP is trying to make exclusive to alpha commonalities of debates everywhere, crazedrat is exuding prejudices or trolling and so on.

    This is not correct. Gamma has nothing to do with conservatism.

    Here's a theory about how quadras might argue.
    Te quadras externalize their reasoning and try to support their viewpoint with evidence. They're more likely to bring things down into "situational" chunks.

    Ti quadras are more likely to state and expound upon their point of view and expect people to evaluate the entire thing as a whole.

    But the Gamma = conservatism thing is wrong.
