Talk:Beta Quadra

From Wikisocion

I just noticed the "healthy" and "unhealthy" things -- what do you have in mind? Expat 13:11, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

Quadras, as types, have healthy and unhealthy manifestations - for example, think of Gammas : healthy Gammas are productive, realistic, as unhealthy Gammas are hostile and pushy. Machintruc 13:18, 14 June 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Perception of Alpha

This is a good point; I hardly notice the Alpha/Beta difference at all in a large group. Thehotelambush 09:47, 26 July 2007 (BST)

Yes, very good. I will just tidy up the writing. Expat 09:51, 26 July 2007 (BST)

Who was the jerk who wrote, "Loud exchange of jokes for the benefit of the group, occasionally at one individual's expense.". This is not what beta is about. I removed it and added a comment that betas try to include people by using jokes to draw attention to them. Well yes, sure when a really annoying outsider can't take a joke and acts as a baby and publicly goes against everything that the group values then there will be jokes that degrade that outsider, but that's the same in EVERY group of every quadra. I've been in plenty of situations where 3-4 deltas give me a mean degrading look after I've told a statement that goes against their liberal hippie views. I'd say that a beta group really keeps together. They value group members and there's a loyalty to them - betas don't degrade friends and betas don't make fun at the expence of their friends to entertain the group. When people are included in jokes it's usually a good thing because this is how the dominant group members can pull the quiet members into the center of attention for a little bit, so that people don't forget that they are also part of the group.

What quadra would you say does that? --Kanerou 22:10, 28 January 2009 (GMT)
