See, the thing is that Socionics was essentially developed by Alpha NTs. Quadras are described in a clearly biased fashion: The Alpha quadra was created to be a perfect utopia for all us lonely LII and ILE misunderstood geniuses, where smiling, cheerful people feed us ceaselessly and let us do whatever we want. I'd argue that that sounds good to more types than just Alpha NTs. Conversely, Gamma is described the evil Western moralistic capitalist pig cool kids' club that stomps all over homeless people.

I'm half joking here, but quadra values are obviously not presented without bias in classical Socionics literature. They are something not to be taken very seriously, though the Alpha description gets pretty close to ILE / LII utopia in my eyes.

Almost sounds Delta irrational to me - valuing Te doesn't always mean productivity, especially if it's not your leading function.
