Back to the future is half alpha, half delta.
Probably a lot of what you've mentioned are such way.

That's a very Alpha interpretation of the movie.Originally Posted by thehotelambush
Over-serious businessman becomes child again, defeats foe non-violently. How is that not Alpha?
Another interpretation is about a man having to go through a solitary struggle (or with the help of a soulmate) in order to save his children.
That's a good example of a sad Beta movie.

Boogie Nights is totally alpha, then a beta mood takes over and that's what's sad....some of the alphas give up their alpha values.

those who are easily shocked.....should be shocked more often
I saw it as someone self-destructing in the pursuit of power and prestige, which is a risk for Beta.
yes i see what you mean also. it's an alpha quadra character buying into beta values.

I would say Twelve Monkeys is an Alpha film (if only cuz it's my fav) - it might have time-travel (i.e.
The ending could be considered the outcome of having weakis apparent in the way the main character remembers how things relevant to him panned out - e.g. the boy stuck in a well (or rather, not).
(Is that a weak argument?)
Uh --
I think Twelve Monkeys is more Delta than Alpha.
Yeah, that makes sense actually - it's more+
now that I think about it.
I'll have to watch again to see (yay!).
I wonder how much overlap there currently is between the lists. These movie lists are being constructed separately with most people of the quadras visiting these topics. I wonder how much consensus or dispute would be met if the current quadra movie lists from these different threads were compiled and then displayed on a "What's My Type" topic.

Personally I never thought that the Quadra subforums were limited to people of that quadra.
They're not, but would you not think that typically people who belong to a certain quadra will typically visit their own quadra sub-forum more than that of other quadras?

TV Shows for Alpha Quadra People
To take a page out of the Book of Gilly, here is a new parallel thread to Movies for Alpha Quadra People. I would prefer to leave anime out of this since it something it is usually only seen by or familiar to a smaller subset of people.
- The Office
- Scrubs
- Farscape
- Monty Python's Flying Circus
- Mystery Science Theater 3000
- Venture Bros.
- Sealab 2021
- Freakazoid

Friends.
Seinfeld.
Curb Your Enthusiasm.
The Wild Thornberries.

Re: TV Shows for Alpha Quadra People
This is a really good example imo. The show is definitely anti-Gamma when they put Michael Scott (ENTj) and Angela Martin (ISFj) in a negative light (much worse than Dwight Schrute).
Other Alpha dramas:
-Heroes
-The Amazing Race
-MTV's Punked
Beat me to it
Friends seems a little bit more Beta. It's all about the group dynamic, you know? Lots of Betas, too: Joey (SLE), Phoebe (IEI), Rachael (EIE), and maybe even Monica (LSI?) Ross is ILE, and Chandler...not sure...Ni-EIE, maybe?
But, for a certainty, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...
Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
Whilst our laughter echoed,
Under cerulean skies...
Friends is definitely "cliquish" in either the Aristocratic Beta or Delta way.Beat me to it

Two and a Half Men
(Generally Alpha with some aspects of Delta, IMO)
“Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.”
Well, obviously you could interpret it differently. Even the part with Rufio is more Beta than anything. Though I still think, as a whole, the movie is Alpha.That's a very Alpha interpretation of the movie.Over-serious businessman becomes child again, defeats foe non-violently. How is that not Alpha?
Another interpretation is about a man having to go through a solitary struggle (or with the help of a soulmate) in order to save his children.
Showing my age here...
I think it's more Delta, what with helping animals and stuff.
Probably more Fi quadra, even Gamma. Solidarity, prophesy, good vs. evil, etc.
Reno 911
Fake documentary style TV shows for some reason mainly seem Alpha since the main emphasis of this style of TV show is the absurdity of real life.

Firefly
It seems to be more Delta or Gamma at times (especially the characters).

porn
I don't find as much Delta and Beta porn as find Gamma and Alpha.
Family Guy
Southpark
Daily Show
(is this the kind of "thwarting authority" you mean?)
i wonder if type affects which porn stars you watch.. would you watch your conflictor?
haha, If I start thinking about socionics while watching porn I will end my life with a dull hatchet to my forehead.I don't find as much Delta and Beta porn as find Gamma and Alpha.
or live with a scar and misshapened skull with a peculiar story.
btw, are you gonna smash your head with the hatchet after watching porn or during it. it would probably be best during. well not best, but funny. i would finish rubbing it off then smash my head.
Star Trek; while I am not a fan of this show, this show does seem to be an Alpha sort of show in some regards.
I suppose it is in some ways. I am not sure which quadra the Daily Show fits since it seems to have broad appeal throughout different members of the quadras.

well if you're going to mention the Daily Show, you have to add The Colbert Report as well. It's probably more alpha than Daily Show because it's specific purpose seems to be making fun of those overly serious pundits (who are all ENTjs?). Even the way they carry out the show, with all the mistakes and such, make it seem incredibly childish and insincere. Alpha.
INTj
during since that would be a spur of the moment decision. :wink:
sounds like one of those auto-erotic asphyxsiasion (sp? lol) deals... just don't leave a mess for your loved ones to walk in and findduring since that would be a spur of the moment decision. :wink:
Goatie, your sig makes me so happy.
But, for a certainty, back then,

this could actually be an interresting experimenti wonder if type affects which porn stars you watch.. would you watch your conflictor?
Porn and Socionics... FUCK YEAH! Best idea ever!
Goatie, your sig makes me so happy.
I was a little worried that I might have to tone it down a little for the cave-man posters who are using dial up. But hell nobody's complained about it yet though so it stays
Yeah, I guess that wouldn't be very nice. haha, no loved ones on this side of the US so it wouldn't be them finding me, but the chick I live with would soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo freak out. Again, that wouldn't be very nice.sounds like one of those auto-erotic asphyxsiasion (sp? lol) deals... just don't leave a mess for your loved ones to walk in and findduring since that would be a spur of the moment decision. :wink:
Oh, and since I don't think about the socion when watching porn I will never run into this situation. Just clearing that up...lol :wink:
Why did you have to derail this thread with porn?
