    Default Favorite Quadra.

    Excluding your own, which is your favorite quadra? I was thinking today that I like alpha quite a bit. I tend to think of apple pie, warm blankets and geeky inventors when I think of alpha.

    I voted for the last option

    I'm fine as long as there's loudness, no elitism, and people who pay attention to what a person says instead of interrupting them every couple of sentences with joined singing... and other such superficial interaction that prevent the occurrence of serious, intelligible discussions wherein people can actually get to know each other better.

    you can pick any damn combination of greek letters and somebody will have named some kind of society after it. why not at least take one without the four real answers?

    it's better to be half real than totally fake. now you can't argue with that.
    2/3 real is even better: mu alpha beta?

    as a matter of fact, the president of rhodesia once stated that rhodesia would initiate trade agreements over wheat and cotton with thailand. clearly this factoid supports the assertion that your statement is faulty.

    ASU is okay.

    USC are just a bunch of jabronies. ASU happened to send a QB to Nebraska who may play for NU this year. Or was that Arizona.
    We'll see how he does.

    At the moment, I'm thoroughly annoyed with everyone, equally.
    "How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."

    Rather stupidly, I voted Gamma before reading the post which said not to vote for your own. So in place of Gamma, I'd have to say Delta is my favourite quadra, since Delta has ENFps.

    delta, definitely. although beta is interesting in a sort of highly-motivated, highly-disciplinary power structure bla bla bla sort of way.

    I dislike Beta and Delta equally.

    Beta is abrasive drama-queens, and Delta is pretentious bores.

    I find gamma's inexhaustively interesting to watch from a safe distance, so despite that they are the quadra conflicting to mine, I'll take them over beta and delta any day.

    My guess is that you are referring to the fact that Rhodesia never actually had a president. There were a few years where it was a Republic of Zimbabwe-Rhodesia (?) and during this time there were maybe two presidents before it went back under British rule. It was apparently never internationally recognized and was prevented from entering trade relations. So, if this is the correct reference, then I guess Rhodesia was NOT better off being half real rather than totally fake.

    Gamma used to be my favourite in theory but living with an INTp and a possible ENTj and seeing their behavior first hand has changed this. I think my moral values clash with those of most INTps even though their reasoning usually makes good sense to me. Then the SFs there often seem to me to be needlessly bitchy and competitive moreso than the types in any other quadra. Something about the the presence of and and a lack of "caregivers" and "humanitarians" just sort of make gamma seem harsh to me.

    I would expect that gamma would be very popular with a lot of people though.

    My perfect quadra would have INTjs forms alpha, INFps from beta, ESFps from gamma and ENFps from delta but the I guess the whole INTj/ESFp thing wouldn't work out very well :wink:

    lol, I really am ISTp in all ways, if the descriptions dont agree with something about me its them that should be changed, not my type Ive had quiet a lot of ENFp interaction so maybe have picked up social stuff from them so Fe polr dosent seem obvious, but in real life I get stick for it like all ISTp's do. Also I conciously try to be better at it sometimes by copying others after I have deconstructed the essence of an interaction and understand why it gets the reaction it does (im so hopeless )

    I voted alpha coz they have my semi-dual ENTp, who are great, a toned down version of the ENFp duals in a kinda way and INTj's, who are intriguing with their solidity of character, and their overly analitical minds. Also the ISFp's share my Si although it comes out a bit different, but still nice.

    Gamma... most of my friends have been ESFps, and most of the rest are INTps or ISFjs. Definitely a lot of ESFps though.

    haha sweet

    okay, I'll just mention them all then:

    Gamma > Delta > Alpha > Beta

    sometimes Alpha and Beta switch... depends on the people who have been annoying me most recently

    Alpha and Beta are my favorites. I definitely have more Beta friends than any other quadra, but there is more tension upon first meeting them than with Alphas: there are definitely power struggles with SLEs once in a while, and LSIs can definitely be frustrating. IEIs are about 50/50, depending on the variant: I can always have a nice discussion with them, but there is definitely a disproportionate number of bitches among the Fe subtypes; pretty much the same with EIEs (although I DEFINITELY have more problems with EIEs than IEIs: they embody the "rule-abiding citizen" part of Beta to me).

    I'm largely indifferent to Gammas because I don't really think I know enough of them well enough to make any kind of broad statement about them.

    I have mixed experiences with Deltas; it really just depends on what kind of mood I'm in. The irrationals are almost always fun, but the rationals get on my nerves (and I theirs) in too short of a time for me to have really rewarding interactions with them on a regular basis.
