Gamma Quadra Analysis

(This post is currently a rough draft and includes my perspective of the Alpha quadra, hopefully being as consistent with Classic socionics as possible, paragraphs may have mild disorganization, but will be renovated to better fit the more accurate descriptions of the Alpha Quadra)

(This description is incomplete and is lacking in key points about Gamma types, more information will be added soon)

The Gamma quadra values the IM elements of , , and . While the subdued IM elements of the Gamma quadra will be , , and . Within the Gamma quadra, you have the LIE, ESI, SEE and ILI types.

Types that value have a preference to take information unfiltered from specific sources, these sources are often so trustworthy people, but can also be from a book or a website that contains reliable information; often so as a result of valuing extroverted logic. Valuing and results in a specific type of integrity that prefers to see judge which information is reliable or useful vs. what is unreliable or useless, often so brings up the issue of finding the most reliable sources of information. Introverted ethics types are more disposed towards evaluating the source of the information based on their character quality of the information, or potentially for other reasons as well.

In general, the judgement goes directly to the source, not the information itself, but whatever physical entity is supplying the information. It wouldn’t necessarily be wrong to assume that Alpha and Beta types have a tendency to criticize the information at hand, but rarely the source of the information, while the opposite occurs in the Gamma and Delta types; though in practice this is a grey-area when used as a method to find an individual’s type of information metabolism. Judgements within the Beta quadra have a tendency to appear more dynamic and expressive of how the person feels about this externally. While the Gamma quadra’s judgements have a tendency to be rather neutral or realistic in terms of how the individual feels about something. The reason for this is because of devaluing, where the emotions of most (not all) Gamma types are hidden.

The emphasis that is deeply rooted within all Gamma types is to form meaningful relationships with the individuals or sources involved.
A general rule towards the emotionality that the Gamma quadra, they are likely to carry their emotionality to be expressed inwardly and not presented to the world externally. For instance, there are many scenarios that can equally describe and prove the claim that Gamma types generally do not care what others think of them and acknowledge that they have self-centered motivations. These motivations are expressed somewhat weakly and superficially on the surface, but when observed deeper in the essence of a Gamma type; they are not so passionate about such developments.

A major difference in telling apart Gamma extroverts and Gamma introverts, the SEE and LIE will be disposed to less critical judgement and behave in a more accepting manner towards the environments around them. The SEE will be more impulsive and will generally lack a cohesive depth in their judgments, frantically jumping from one activity to the next to attract people; often presenting themselves as attention seekers. From what we can observe about the SEE externally, is they appear socially outgoing and socially accepting, but when provoked can unleash an immense amount of anger that creates conflict and drama in situations where there shouldn’t necessarily be any at all. As a result, these particular kinds of SEEs tend to be relatively unresponsive to the social needs of other people and sometimes prefer to satisfy their own individual needs in the moment first. In addition, the emotional expression of the SEE tends to be variably intense and spontaneous.

Gamma extroverts tend to have a greater entrepreneurial spirit compared to other types and a more prominent expression of independence as a rule for these types. In this sense, it would appear that the Gamma extroverts are more demanding and impatient than the Gamma introverts. Almost always as a result of pushing the extroverted IM elements of their quadra; and valuing. While in contrast, the Gamma introverts are more thoughtful, yet more rigorously judgemental and focused more on their inner world of preferences; and valuing.

The Gamma type that is the least skillful in navigating the world of people and relationships with others is the LIE. This is mainly because this type is often phenomenally unskilled in navigating the world of people, because of suggestive and creative in a sense of focusing greatly on their own goals in which they have a great sense of personal ambition and become absorbed in their work often at the expense of neglecting their personal lives; though there is a great deal of variability in calculating this. A major difference between the LIE and LSE, is the LIE can articulate it's goals and formulate sources to further benefit these goals in a way that the LSE is not always inherently familiar of. Even though the LSE is still somewhat focused on their goals because they have demonstrative , but the LIE is different in the way they become so single-mindedly focused on their goals and in some situations become so absorbed in their relationships that they lose sight of what they truly want out of life to satisfy them.

Gamma NTs consciously reject the idea of positive emotionality and normative traditions that are created out of jocularity and propriety, without any factual evidence to support their reasoning for following through and joining the group atmosphere. Gamma NTs (more so ILIs than LIEs) tend to be very skeptical spreading joy and cheer without doing solving problems pragmatically or impacting realistic change in the environment. The ILI in this case, may question the person’s angle towards having a demeanor that is “all talk and no action”, seeing little reasoning in doing something they are not obsessively interested in or obligated to do. Gamma NTs tend to find it very irritating when emotions are being passionately and authentically expressed, when the quality of the information is not mentioned or even ignored entirely.

LIEs in fiction that are often encountered in movies or TV shows, they are commonly portrayed as some variant of a greedy capitalist character that has no idea how to connect with people in interpersonal relationships nor truly understand what they want with life. Other than having a successful business or something like this and only good at dealing with people in order to make lots of money. Sometimes when this LIE character has a love interest, they expect the love interest to be there for them and don't care very much about them any more than that. Broadly speaking, I think this is a reasonable caricature of the LIE to say that they don't often understand what they personally want. Even some famous LIEs in real life that are very successful business people that have little to no personal lives whatsoever, almost a self-sacrificing workaholic in a much more literal sense of the term, then again, not all LIEs are like this.

When LIEs encounter problems in the world, the functional importance of which they respect, that they are insensitive to the idea of productively working with their hands to deal with the resources they have available. The LIE is a type that commonly prefers, in principle, to be greedy capitalists that make lots of money; though not always. A better example would be for the LIE to hire and manage people who work for them, employees to deal with the mundane problems of their work for them, rather than have to figure out how to deal with it on their own. This is not overly stereotyped, but then again limited to a certain degree. LIEs tend to thrive and perform well as a CEO or economically prosperous entrepreneur that actively works from one job to the next and working to reap their own individual rewards or prestige; appearing powerful but not having impatient and demanding leadership style or the base type.
