If you had to pick a different quadra to be in, which would you choose? Answer based on which you'd most want to be, not which you would be if you weren't in the one you're in. If you don't know your quadra, put your two top choices.

I would actually say... Alpha.
Delta 4 the ENFps and ISTps
delta
6w5 sx
model Φ: -+0
sloan - rcuei
I guess for me Democracy vs. Aristocracy is a pretty big deal.
Delta Quadra because I was rather born as an ISTP, got into the army and lived a life like rambo.
Uh... none? Ew. Actually Alpha isn't too bad. ENTps and ISFps are cool.
I'd pick Delta.

i don't understand how anyone could possibly go about answering this question. what quadra would you "want" to be in if you weren't in your own quadra?
wtf?
Which quadra, besides your own, do you find the most appealing and enjoy being a part of? It seems like a simple question to me, and it's not like enjoying the company of other specific quadras is inconceivable.

You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.
That's not what I meant though. I meant "if you would have been a different type instead of the one you are, which quadra would you want to be in (besides your own)?" It's pretty much about imagining that you're someone from another quadra and deciding which is most tolerable.
"It's pretty much about imagining that you're someone from another quadra and deciding which is most tolerable."
My alpha mindset tells me that which is tolerable is that which is "the most enjoyable," I guess.

I would want to be in whatever quadra wasn't a total sausage fest.

Delta probably the least (at the moment). Too down to earth and serious and judging and all that. I'd say Beta or Gamma first. Nothing specific against Alpha it just seems a bit light weight. Beta pwns and Gamma owns.

honestly,
gamma. but i wouldnt be the most comfortable there!
most comfortable in delta.
it's funny cause it's trueOriginally Posted by XoX
alpha plays
beta pwns
gamma owns
delta works
(if I need to put a disclaimer on this post I'm going to carve out someone's brain with a spoon)

Alpha, which I thought I was for awhile.

haha, I wasn't being very serious there. Honest perhaps, but not serious. I like delta a lot.Originally Posted by Ms. Kensington

Beta. I could see the fun in being an 'evil' ESTp in a later life. You know, doing all that rowdy stuff and NOT instinctively caring that it bothers people...
I love my alpha heritage, but I'd love to be a delta.

This is me and my dual being scientific together
alpha, probably.
gammas are awesome too. i like their sense of humor.
I dunno, I think I'm pretty much where it's at I'm a bit split between the other three...I'd love to be able to get the kind of enjoyment and reward from doing community-minded and socially responsible things that I see Deltas, like my family, doing, and Gammas seem to have the most security/stability in terms of generally taking care of life, but with my current mindset, I'd have to say that I prefer Beta.
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...
I'd love to have the disregard for comfort and the mind for business of the LIE. Gamma.
Beta!

That's probably because while Alpha shares nothing with you, you believe the Te/Fi connection with Delta to be more important than the Se/Ni one with Beta. Hence, you prefer Delta. Nonetheless, I think all LIEs are pretty much glad to be who they are.Originally Posted by Thunder

lol I never look at my keyboard... I type faster that way. in fact my recently deceased favorite keyboard didn't even have letters on it (so that nobody would ask to use my computer )Originally Posted by Thunder
that's why you should just remove themOriginally Posted by Thunder

Russian letters on a keyboard would be very cool indeed ... uberleet!Originally Posted by Thunder
interesting question....i'd have to say beta. i know so many of them, i'm used to them, they can deal with me, too. not delta....too much supervision and conservatism....and gamma feels like a foreign land which even thought it would be interesting to go to, i wouldn't feel comfortable there permanently.
