Welcome to Anime in MBTI!

The Myers and Briggs Foundation (Official MBTI website) https://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/

I wanted to make a post that contains the criteria of each MBTI dichotomy. All the below information is from the MBTI website.

Extraversion (E)

I like getting my energy from active involvement in events and having a lot of different activities. I'm excited when I'm around people and I like to energize other people. I like moving into action and making things happen. I generally feel at home in the world. I often understand a problem better when I can talk out loud about it and hear what others have to say.

The following statements generally apply to me:

I am seen as "outgoing" or as a "people person."

I feel comfortable in groups and like working in them.

I have a wide range of friends and know lots of people.

I sometimes jump too quickly into an activity and don't allow enough time to think it over.

Before I start a project, I sometimes forget to stop and get clear on what I want to do and why.

Introversion (I)

I like getting my energy from dealing with the ideas, pictures, memories, and reactions that are inside my head, in my inner world. I often prefer doing things alone or with one or two people I feel comfortable with. I take time to reflect so that I have a clear idea of what I'll be doing when I decide to act. Ideas are almost solid things for me. Sometimes I like the idea of something better than the real thing.

The following statements generally apply to me:

I am seen as "reflective" or "reserved."

I feel comfortable being alone and like things I can do on my own.

I prefer to know just a few people well.

I sometimes spend too much time reflecting and don't move into action quickly enough.

I sometimes forget to check with the outside world to see if my ideas really fit the experience.

Sensing (S)

Paying attention to physical reality, what I see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. I'm concerned with what is actual, present, current, and real. I notice facts and I remember details that are important to me. I like to see the practical use of things and learn best when I see how to use what I'm learning. Experience speaks to me louder than words.

The following statements generally apply to me:

I remember events as snapshots of what actually happened.

I solve problems by working through facts until I understand the problem.

I am pragmatic and look to the "bottom line."

I start with facts and then form a big picture.

I trust experience first and trust words and symbols less.

Sometimes I pay so much attention to facts, either present or past, that I miss new possibilities.

Intuition (N)

Paying the most attention to impressions or the meaning and patterns of the information I get. I would rather learn by thinking a problem through than by hands-on experience. I'm interested in new things and what might be possible, so that I think more about the future than the past. I like to work with symbols or abstract theories, even if I don't know how I will use them. I remember events more as an impression of what it was like than as actual facts or details of what happened.

The following statements generally apply to me:

I remember events by what I read "between the lines" about their meaning.

I solve problems by leaping between different ideas and possibilities.

I am interested in doing things that are new and different.

I like to see the big picture, then to find out the facts.

I trust impressions, symbols, and metaphors more than what I actually experienced

Sometimes I think so much about new possibilities that I never look at how to make them a reality.

Thinking (T)

When I make a decision, I like to find the basic truth or principle to be applied, regardless of the specific situation involved. I like to analyze pros and cons, and then be consistent and logical in deciding. I try to be impersonal, so I won't let my personal wishes--or other people's wishes--influence me.

The following statements generally apply to me:

I enjoy technical and scientific fields where logic is important.

I notice inconsistencies.

I look for logical explanations or solutions to most everything.

I make decisions with my head and want to be fair.

I believe telling the truth is more important than being tactful.

Sometimes I miss or don't value the "people" part of a situation.

I can be seen as too task-oriented, uncaring, or indifferent.

Feeling (F)

I believe I can make the best decisions by weighing what people care about and the points-of-view of persons involved in a situation. I am concerned with values and what is the best for the people involved. I like to do whatever will establish or maintain harmony. In my relationships, I appear caring, warm, and tactful.

The following statements generally apply to me:

I have a people or communications orientation.

I am concerned with harmony and nervous when it is missing.

I look for what is important to others and express concern for others.

I make decisions with my heart and want to be compassionate.

I believe being tactful is more important than telling the "cold" truth.

Sometimes I miss seeing or communicating the "hard truth" of situations.

I am sometimes experienced by others as too idealistic, mushy, or indirect.

Judging (J)

I use my decision-making (Judging) preference (whether it is Thinking or Feeling) in my outer life. To others, I seem to prefer a planned or orderly way of life, like to have things settled and organised, feel more comfortable when decisions are made, and like to bring life under control as much as possible.

Since this pair only describes what I prefer in the outer world, I may, inside, feel flexible and open to new information (which I am).

Do not confuse Judging with judgemental, in its negative sense about people and events. They are not related.

The following statements generally apply to me:

I like to have things decided.

I appear to be task oriented.

I like to make lists of things to do.

I like to get my work done before playing.

I plan work to avoid rushing just before a deadline.

Sometimes I focus so much on the goal that I miss new information.

Perceiving (P)

I use my perceiving function (whether it is Sensing or Intuition) in my outer life. To others, I seem to prefer a flexible and spontaneous way of life, and I like to understand and adapt to the world rather than organise it. Others see me staying open to new experiences and information.

Since this pair only describes what I prefer in the outer world, inside I may feel very planful or decisive (which I am).

Remember, in type language perceiving means "preferring to take in information." It does not mean being "perceptive" in the sense of having quick and accurate perceptions about people and events.

The following statements generally apply to me:

I like to stay open to respond to whatever happens.

I appear to be loose and casual. I like to keep plans to a minimum.

I like to approach work as play or mix work and play.

I work in bursts of energy.

I am stimulated by an approaching deadline.

Sometimes I stay open to new information so long I miss making decisions when they are needed.

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ ✧ﾟ･:

In this post I will try and clarify what exactly the differences are between Fi and Fe, and highlight any common misconceptions about these functions in typology.

Types that value Fi: TJs, FPs Types that value Fe: TPs, FJs

The most simple difference between Fi and Fe is how they perceive and evaluate values (morals or ethics). The idea that:

Fi prefers to develop their values and ethics intrinsically, from within 

Fe prefers to conform to shared values and develops their sense of morals from around them

This is correct. However, this definition causes many spread misconceptions in any source relating to typology, such as tumblr, mbti sites, and forums.

For Fi, this is the need for authenticity, and the dislike of being fake. That Fi types do not like Fe because it is perceived as “fake” and “superficial”. I’m just going to put this out there: Any type can be fake. It is the reason for their decision to be fake that is indicative of type, not the behaviour itself. This applies to typology in general.

Fi types are perceived like enneagram 4 types. It is important not to get these mixed. Here is short paragraph from enneagram institute;

“Key Motivations: Want to express themselves and their individuality, to create and surround themselves with beauty, to maintain certain moods and feelings, to withdraw to protect their self-image, to take care of emotional needs before attending to anything else, to attract a "rescuer."”

With Fe, the biggest misconception seems be that any selfish person or character cannot be Fe. That Fe types cannot be self absorbed or invested in their own feelings. As an Fe aux, I know this is not the case. I get my values from the social sphere, from viewing morals in a universal perspective, but this does not mean I only care about other peoples actual feelings. I am highly aware of my own emotional state and know this affects my decisions (this is also due to having a dominant function that is introverted perception). It is definitely not accurate to claim that only Fe types can have fake expressions. 

These are a few things you should consider when comparing the functions. 

Introverted Feeling (Dominant)

Highly attuned to the psychological atmosphere of interaction and to their own feelings towards people and things.

Confident in their ability to evaluate moral qualities in themselves and others.

Favour their own feelings and values over public ones

Has a strong sense of like/dislike towards objects, draws strong personal convictions from situations/experiences.

Adept at recognising and establishing personal bonds with others

Treasures deep feelings of attachment and strive to deepen emotional bonds between people and harmonise relationships

They rely heavily on their instincts to understand the inner feelings of themselves or an individual.

Can be very empathetic people and find it very easy to feel with others. 

As a result, this makes them very sensitive to the moods of others, therefore giving the a tendency to treat others as they would like to be treated themselves.

Extroverted Intuition (Auxiliary)

They have a natural understanding of a persons “inner make-up”

They have a strong understanding of the inner workings of even the most complicated minds

Interested in the conceptual, enjoy connecting different events and ideas.

Have an idealistic attitude towards life, as they often see how a situation can be improved using their Ne to come up with a new possibility

Enjoy seeing possibilities, making their ideas become a reality

They have well developed ideas concerning ideal emotional states for individuals

Using their Ne to recognise possibilities, INFPs can recognise an individuals inner potential.

They dislike seeing wasted potential. They are driven to accomplish a maximum ideal in a certain area or field, to explore all the possibilities within their area of interest.

Introverted Sensing (Tertiary)

Change and new experiences can be overwhelming for INFPs, which can result in the Fi-Si loop. They might seek comfort in familiar experiences and engage in nostalgic pursuits 

A looping INFP will get caught up in previous experiences.

May frequently engage in familiar sensory experiences

Can be negligent of their surroundings, may not notice the details of people and information around them.

Have difficulty with materialistic aspects, abandoning practicality and groundedness for the sake of ideas.

When they experiences internal discomfort or tension they have difficulty resolving it and maintaining a stable inner state.

Extroverted Thinking (Inferior)

They can consistently forget to consider whether their activities are actually achieving their intended goals.

Have difficulty using resources to help them reach their goals

Are very results orientated, are less interested in gaining understanding unless the process helps them complete a task.

Appreciate those who make their ideas a reality and drive them towards getting things done.

They subconsciously expect and appreciate it when others take interest in the effectiveness of their activities and helps to take an objective look at what they are doing.

Anyone?

The position of your functions depends on which MBTI type you are. Each of the 16 types have a certain cognitive function stack. 

You can take MBTI tests to try and reach a consensus of what your type could be to begin with, then look into the cognitive functions. If you are new then MBTI will be the best place to start. 

Don’t worry about it, cognitive functions are quite confusing to start with! 

The youtube channel called DaveSuperPowers explains the functions quite well to people who are new at this.

Extroverted Intuition (Dominant): 

Attracted to novel ideas, new experiences and the unusual.

Likely to take the form of projects that haven’t been done before or when the concept is unknown.

Highly curious and eager to learn everything about a new concept or idea

When a current idea or project has nothing left to discover or the ENFP becomes bored, they will find a new topic of interest, following their curiosity.

Dislike doing work or chores that do not given them the opportunity to follow their interests. 

Their activities usually are what they currently interested in at the moment, therefore their energy levels may be spontaneous and periodic, rather than structured and routinely. 

May have spur of the moment ideas and curiosities.

Have a tendency to seek multiple viewpoints and perspectives from others in controversial matters.

They have an innate ability to help others find their appropriate creative outlets according to their interests and talents.

Introverted Feeling (Auxiliary)

Primarily motivated by their feelings of interest and boredom (Ne-Fi)

Like INFPs, they treasure deep feelings of attachment and strive to deepen emotional bonds between people and harmonise relationships.

They rely on instinct to understand the primary feelings and motivations of individuals, including themselves.

May have a tendency to become more engrossed in what a person might become, recognising their inner potential, rather than what they are currently. Ne types tend to see what could be rather than what is (Ne-Fi)

Extroverted Thinking (Tertiary)

The ENFP is keen on accumulating factual knowledge on subjects of personal interest and those that help him be more efficient and productive, but he's often unsure of his ability to find and select the correct information

They prize efficiently, and may secretly berate themselves for their own inefficiency.

They firmly believe that information and knowledge should be shared freely.

Can be a little too trusting of external sources of information.

They enjoy using information for abstract concepts such as maths or science, but the practical application of it will bore them quickly. 

Introverted Sensing (Inferior)

Chronically unaware of their own bodily processes, as result they may have peculiar preferences or tastes which the ENFP themselves does not understand.

In terms of physical sensations, the ENFP will always choose the familiar over the novel, seeing the familiar as more reliable as it was positive based from past experience.

When they are excitedly working on a new project or in a social gathering, they might frequently forgot to eat or sleep.

 Any bodily sensations will be ignored in favour of their interests and current engagement until the sensation becomes overwhelming and starts to affect their concentration.

Introverted Feeling (Dominant) 

Orientated to their own system of values and motivations

In other words, ISFPs are primarily attuned to their inner emotional state and their attitude towards others.

Possesses a strong understanding of what is good and what is bad from an early age. 

Favour their own feelings and values over public ones

Values are decided in accordance to their own inner world as opposed to what is objectively (or socially) considered moral or appropriate. 

Has a strong sense of like/dislike towards objects, draws strong personal convictions from situations/experiences.

Highly reliant on their attitude towards others and what is occurring in their surroundings (Fi-Se)

Extroverted Sensing (Auxiliary)

Likes to be hands on and practically active 

Fully aware of what happens around them 

Has a great attention to sensory detail in their surroundings, but might be unaware of an object’s inner context. 

Want to live experiences to fullest

They naturally focus on an object or situation’s concrete properties rather than the conceptual.

They can be practical and highly materialistic, and be able to push others to a state of activity.

They may enjoy discussions that are highly theoretical or imaginative but are more inclined to be interested in the real world and having an impact on it.

Have a strong ability to access the actuality of their surroundings and react to it.

Introverted Intuition (Tertiary)

ISFPs make an effort to be more intuitive and foreseeing and try not to be too impulsive in their decision making. 

They appreciate it when informed of how events may unfold or how much time it will require to finish their tasks, and whether or not it needs to be done in a hurry.

They often cannot see how a situation may develop overtime and as a result may worry excessively.

May have an interest in symbolism and holistic concepts but does not possess an innate and natural understanding of this context like Ni dominant types do.

ISFPs can be anxious to deal with a task immediately rather than trying to foresee how the future events may unfold. May be impulsive as a result of their weak Ni, as they are more focused on their immediate surroundings and the current situation.

Extroverted Thinking (Inferior)

ISFPs are unsure about evaluating external information and it’s validity, and therefore seek others who will provide explanations and additional information.

They have difficulty measuring their own productiveness; whether or not they completed their work efficiently or if their effort was sufficient enough.

ISFPs are practically minded and therefore prefer explanations based on concrete examples and common sense rather than extensive theories (Se-Te)

Are very results orientated, are less interested in gaining understanding unless the process helps them complete a task.

Generally seek to take action based on the emotional responsibilities and pressures they feel.

They may commonly involve themselves in political or moral causes, and may primarily serve the function of energizing and motivating others  

They believe that people need to be emotionally involved in life, not distant or indifferent to the important things that are happening. 

Often hold strong views about governance and social custom, though their beliefs stem from the interests of their close emotional relationships. 

ENFJs  are one of the most insightful types about the minds and inner workings of people, and as a result are likely to be skilled persuaders.

Ni - Auxiliary

Have a keen sense of the significance of the moment, life's flow of events, and the past and future evolution of things.

They love to instill confidence in people by taking great detail to their problems and envisioning ways of handling them

As a result, they like to imagine scenarios of different ways a situation can unfold with their imagination; such actions give them a sense of security about what is to come.

ENFJs are very open about their feelings of hesitation, apprehension, anticipation, and anxiety regarding events. 

Therefore they seek to define their unique purpose in life, and orient goals around the meaning they infer from their experiences across time.

Se - Tertiary

ENFJs know that they often need to "just do it" and often look for something or someone that will provide the impetus and make them "do it." 

Struggle with focus and willpower and have a need for something or someone that will focus them consistently and prod them to act despite any feelings of apprehension and doubt. 

Drawn to people who exude determination and resolve.

Ti - Inferior

Admire people whose thinking is clear-cut, unambiguous, and stalwart, who reduce the myriad of possibilities down to one single option. tend to go off on tangents when something is mentioned that triggers an emotional response, and they often need to be reminded of the subject matter or purpose of the discussion. 

Tend to go off on tangents when something is mentioned that triggers an emotional response, and they often need to be reminded of the subject matter or purpose of the discussion. 

Relevant Information:

Te -  Dominant

Able to contributes useful, productive and relevant information. Very hands on approach to their goals, focused on solution / outcome. Involves themselves in practical projects. May develop a detailed host of practical knowledge (particularly STJs) and might know about a wide range of topics. Comfortable with asserting their knowledge. Highly pragmatic and proactive. Often adopt active schedules and lifestyles and become uncomfortable and restless when they are not able to pursue a productive goal or venture. Concerned with optimizing the efficiency of the external environment. Tend to have a direct and formal style of communication, and are often to the point. May place great attention to distributing factually accurate information to others. Are concerned with applying their work to some social cause and believe that society should take an active role in the care of it’s members.

Si - Auxiliary

They often enjoy recreation with a physical element, including hiking, sports, etc.  Value safety, comfort, leisure, aesthetics, and a peaceable environment.  Maintain a moderate focus on cleanliness, and seek to create a pleasant and functional environment.  They may fall into routines to around which organize their work and lifestyle, and can resist deviation from these routines even when they are ineffectual.  Additionally, they may seek to ensure the physical and overall well-being of their family members and loved ones, and naturally fit in to a "caregiver" role where their initiative and attentiveness to the needs of others are welcomed 

Ne - Tertiary

Are often not highly imaginative. They may have difficulty determining the personal qualities or potential abilities of others around them. They may also have difficulty generating novel or innovative concepts, though in the realm of productive work, they may make up for their lack of imaginative or conceptual innovation by hands-on labor and sheer tirelessness  Try to concentrate on the possible outcomes of a situation, but they tend to have difficulty generating cause-and-effect explanations for events that transpire around them, especially in the sphere of personal relations (weak Ni) In more informal situations can sometimes come across as zany, lively, and somewhat goofy. 

Fi - Inferior

Are chronically uncertain about the nature and standing of their relationships with others.  They are often highly out of touch with their internal feelings and are unsure of their abilities at reading the emotional dispositions of those around them. They require strength of emotional reciprocity, stability, and moral support from others.  Although ESTJs may be social and have many acquaintances, they are cautious about building closer friendships. 

  Relevant Information:

Introverted Feeling (Fi) Dominant Position: Sasuke’s morals are individually defined; when other’s attempt to change his perspective, he is not swayed by their emotions and does not shift his values towards societal ones. He displays a primarily closed and private demeanor. His impassive and seclusive nature was also a result of the massacre of the Uchiha clan. Sakura (an Fe-dom) shows the most significant reactions to this, describing his responses to her as a “silence” - a scene which showed a clash of feeling values (Fe/Fi). His feelings and motivations are usually hidden and concealed, he often reacts to others with indifference and therefore appears stand off-ish; yet he expresses his own opinions of like/dislike, especially if someone has provoked a negative reaction. ("My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality”) These are all traits which Jung described of the Introverted feeling type.  

Extroverted Sensing (Se) Auxiliary Position: Sasuke certainly does not show any signs of inferior Se; His actions are controlled until his emotions overcome him, there is no excessive overindulgence in sensory pleasures, he was never plagued from inertia, and he does not fear confrontation. He often challenges others to prove his physical strength and soundness. His goals are highly specific and singular, but they are also concrete and grounded in reality. Sasuke shows an awareness with the surrounding, and takes action to achieve his objective.

Introverted Intuition (Ni) Tertiary Position: Sasuke tends to percieve events in a present tense. He has a future orientated perspective and his always focused on his goals that he is determined to make a reality. He wouldn't allow anyone to steer him away from his objective.

Extroverted Feeling (Fe) Dominant Position: Hamlet portrayed an extremely troubled and unhealthy ENFJ, who expresses overflowing negative emotions that leads to a mental breakdown. He encompasses and manages a wide range of emotional states; one moment he is melancholic and cynical, the next he is dramatic and enraging with thoughts excitedly. He is constantly expressing these emotions and contemplations to others (the extroverting of feeling). He is a good actor and speaker because of this, and he conveys his emotions so strongly that he is able to convince others of their own worth - this has devastating effects on his love interest, Ophelia. He deliberately wears black clothing in mourning of his father, which also suggests emotional expression (which contrasts with the privacy and inclusiveness of Introverted Feeling).

Introverted Intuition (Ni) Auxiliary Position: Through Soliloquies he delivers expressive speeches where his introverted intuition comes to the surface, as it has an abstract theme to it. In the beginning scene Ni is involved in his use of puns, which all have an underlying meaning and significance. e.g. his response to his uncle Claudius,  ‘Not so, my lord, I am too much in the sun.’ which expressive his annoyance at being called his son; or  the paradox, ‘A little more than kin, and less than kind.’ which implies that he believes his uncle is neither is kin, or kind. This is subjective intuition because it is only about the perspective of Hamlet’s own perception, and the puns and metaphors themselves a completely detached from the sensual reality/perceptions, which has a concrete aspect to it. He is perceptive of the coming and going of events, such as when he realizes he is under surveillance when he is with Ophelia, then purposefully changes his expression and behaviour towards her, which turns into cruel manipulation.

Extroverted Sensing (Se) Tertiary Position: In the play Hamlet remains in the King’s place, even though he is miserable and disgusted by his mother’s marriage - when he could leave the situation. He doesn't engage in any new experiences. His sense-perceptions become twisted, as an incredibly unhealthy character, which becomes distinct when he kills Ophelia’s father and describes the incestuous relations of his mother and uncle. He shows a willingness to confront an opponent in a dual, but never explored any new sensory experience without the inclination of others. Throughout the play he is suffering from inertia.

Extroverted Sensing (Se): Sherlock clearly has the unnatural skill to observe and scrutinize every detail of his clients. In the latest episode (The Abominable Bride) he is so absorbed and captivated with the reality in front of him that it takes him the entire episode to realize that the events are only taking place in his mind. He can read people so accurately because of his extreme attention to the actual details around him. An Ni dominant type would be far too withdrawn into the abstractions of their intuitive perception to notice and observe detail so closely. Sherlock becomes incredibly bored when he doesn’t have a current case to analyze, which means he needs an outside stimuli in order to be contented.

Introverted Thinking (Ti): He is clearly highly analytical and confident in the logical conclusions that he makes. His analysis’s are highly rational by nature - he perceives the sensory details through Se then uses logic to provide a rational explanation for it’s presence. Sherlock appears very introverted in general as he spends very much time alone the quiet environment of his place whilst he delves deeply into the mystery of the present case.

Extroverted Feeling (Fe): His talent for reading people does not come from Fe - getting a “sense” of a person’s emotions and being to understand what they must be feeling. When Molly presents him with a festive gift, he was suspicious and mistaken her true intentions, rather than realizing the simple act of generosity. Sherlock is usually engrossed in solving the puzzle, and sometimes builds up suppressed emotions until he suddenly explodes (i.e. the Bored! scene).

Introduction: This is just for fun. For those who do not understand socionics but would like to, I hope this idea helps to learn about the quadras, in a much more entertaining way. The Socionics Quadras are defined by values, as within each quadra are types that share the same valued functions (see below for elaborative details) Four seems to be such an appropriate number for any type of personality system. Just because I am drawing parallels between them, it doesn't mean the characters in HP belong to that quadra. For example, Harry Potter is an ESI in socionics, but I have labelled the Gryffindor house as the Beta Quadra (Harry was meant to be in Slytherin really though, only he desperately didn't want to). So please don't assume your quadra based on your pottermore test result or something. The purpose of this post is simply to enhance your understanding and for interest in the topic. Of course, the sortings are a simplification, therefore I have assigned a secondary quadra to each house.

Before I begin, here is a functions explanation: 

Delta Quadra = Ne/Si and Fi/Te (equivalents: INFP, ENFP, ISTJ, ESTJ) Gamma Quadra = Ni/Se and Fi/Te (ISFP, ESFP, INTJ, ENTJ) Alpha Quadra = Ne/Si and Fe/Ti (ENTP, INTP. ISFJ, ESFJ) Beta Quadra = Ni/Se and Fe/Ti (ISTP, ESTP, INFJ, ENFJ)

                                             Alpha - Hufflepuff!

“Students belonging to this house are known to be hard-working, friendly, loyal, honest and rather impartial. It may be that due to their values, Hufflepuffs are not as competitive as the other houses, or are more modest about their accomplishments. Hufflepuff is the most inclusive among the four houses; valuing hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play rather than a particular aptitude in its membersments” - Wikia Reinin characterizes this Quadra as "Judicious, Merry, and Democratic". Alpha types enjoy to discuss highly theoretical concepts as a source of intellectual stimulation and fun rather than for their practical merits. They tend to value logically consistent beliefs and ideas, and behaviour that is consistent with personal values. They typically prefer to perform these ideas in group activity. The participation of group is enjoyable when their is a free exchange of positive emotional expression whilst being in an atmosphere that is pleasing to the senses. Alphas tend to find a discussion unfavourable if the subject regards personal relationships while in a group, especially if this leads to confrontation. They are inclined to be tolerating of minor past misdeeds by others, giving priority to reconciliation and a convivial atmosphere. Investments that require long term commitment and up keep tend to be avoided, instead preferring investments that offer a reliable outcome with minimum involvement (Alpha NTs in particular). An ideal Alpha group situation is the exchange of light-hearted jokes while discussing imaginative ideas, movies, or sometimes sports, all while enjoying pleasant food and drink. Narrating personal experiences usually takes the form of telling a joke; funny personal experiences are preferred over "serious" ones.(Second Quadra: Delta)

                                              Beta - Gryffindor 

“The Gryffindor house emphasises the traits of courage as well as "daring, nerve, and chivalry," and thus its members are generally regarded as brave, though sometimes to the point of recklessness. They can also be short-tempered. Notably, Gryffindor house contributed many members to Dumbledore's Army and the Order of the Phoenix, although this may have been because the main members made it a point not to associate with other houses. According to Phinaes Nigellus Black, members of other houses, particularly Slytherin, sometimes feel that Gryffindors engage in "pointless heroics." Another Slytherin, Severus Snape, considered many Gryffindors to be self-righteous and arrogant, with no regard for rules.” - Wikia According to the Reinin dichotomies, the Beta quadra characterizes as "Decisive", "Merry" and "Aristocratic". Beta Quadra types are energized in competitive situations where analytical tactics are emphasized. In group activity, a common emotional atmosphere where the whole group participates is generally more favourable. They have more confidence in analyzing the realistic characteristics of situations / people / objects rather than the alternative and could-be scenarios. Beta types tend to give more value to feelings when they are demonstrated with clear emotional expression, and tend to increase the level of their own emotional expression in order to get a reaction from other people, due to the values to extroverted feeling. Beta NFs tend to show a deep concern about social issues and where the world is heading, believing apathy is the significant cause of societal problems (Fe-Ni). Beta types are not inclined to enjoy discussions of personal experiences when the discussion is on a person's inner feelings. (Second Quadra: Gamma)

                                             Delta - Ravenclaw 

“Ravenclaw House prizes learning, wisdom, wit, and intellect in its members.[3] Thus, many Ravenclaws tend to be academically motivated and talented students. Ravenclaws also pride themselves in being original in their ideas, and methods. It's not unusual to find Ravenclaw students practicing especially different types of magic that other houses might shun.” 

 Reinin characterizes the Delta Quadra as Judicious, Serious, and Aristocratic. Delta's value peaceful activities where they have the opportunity to do something useful whilst balancing out their inner world at the same time. To achieve their goals they would rather rely on their own industriousness than group efforts, strong leadership, and speculation. They make a point of of talking about the rationale behind their actions, and emphasize the extent of productivity, the different methods of which things could be done - including areas of personal relationships. In an insightful, non dramatic manner Deltas love to share their own sentiments regarding their personal experiences. However, Delta types (specifically Delta STs) rarely display their deep passions and visions, preferring to talk in more neutral terms. They typically favour wry humour and understatement, rejecting dramaticism and emotional effects. They only take groups seriously when they perform a common productive or restful activity. Delta NFs do not fare well in high pressure situations, but wear out quickly and prefer a peaceful and welcoming environment. (Second Quadra: Alpha)

                                          Slytherin - Gamma

“Slytherins tend to be ambitious, shrewd, cunning, strong leaders, and achievement-oriented. They also have highly developed senses of self-preservation.[7] This means that Slytherins tend to hesitate before acting, so as to weigh all possible outcomes before deciding exactly what should be done.” - Harry Potter Wikia

The Reinin traits that distinguish Gamma from other quadras are "decisive," "serious," and "democratic.".Gamma types take a longer-term view regarding efficiency and profitability, giving lower priority to the short term. Likewise, they tend to aim at the broader benefits of decisions, rather than only at those affecting themselves, giving them an inclination for self-sacrifice. They like to talk about where present trends are leading in terms of potentially profitable events and undertakings. Ideas and concepts must be be firmly connected to factual information. A hard line approach regarding ethical principles is taken with punishment, or revenge even. They like to discuss personal relationships in a realistic manner, perhaps taking an sceptical attitude to the ideology that bad people could ever become good. This quadra does not tend to form or maintain groups based on fun and emotional interaction - especially Gamma NTs (Gamma SFs can conform to the nature of group discussion due to their talents in Fe and Si blocks, although those functions are not valued). Therefore Gamma types reject the idea that it is best to avoid confrontations so as not to spoil the mood of those present, preferring a directness in settling or a least discussing disagreements. It is Gamma SFs in particular (due to Se-ego) that do not see much point in deeply analysing ideas that they see as having little practical application or connection to reality. In group discussion laughter and very obvious displays of emotion are subdued, instead, there is a lot of smiling, amusement with ironic and witty remarks or, when serious subjects or not very happy personal experiences are discussed, a serious demeanour. Even such small groups tend to split into smaller ones; perhaps 3 is the ideal "group" size for Gammas. (Second Quadra: Beta)
