The 16 socionics types
The three-letter code names a type's top two function slots; the four-letter code beside it is socionics notation, not MBTI.
Alpha quadra (α)
Ideas are toys here. Comfort and play. Ideas get passed around for the fun of it, nobody pulls rank, the food is good, and no one is forced to a conclusion. At work, it's the brainstorm that runs pleasantly long and nobody minds. In Model A that is four valued elements — Ne, Si, Ti and Fe — sitting in the base, creative, suggestive and mobilizing slots of all four stacks.
Beta quadra (β)
The crew comes first here. Cause and belonging. A tight crew loyal to something bigger than itself, rank that's real but earned, big feelings, big humor, and a shared push. At work, it's the team that would follow its lead through a wall — and sometimes does. In Model A that is four valued elements — Ni, Se, Ti and Fe — sitting in the base, creative, suggestive and mobilizing slots of all four stacks.
Gamma quadra (γ)
Everyone stands on their own here. A few proven people, blunt useful feedback, and the long game. Nobody here needs anyone, which is exactly why the ones who stay, stay. At work, it's the partnership that splits the money fairly and says the hard thing on a Tuesday. In Model A that is four valued elements — Ni, Se, Te and Fi — sitting in the base, creative, suggestive and mobilizing slots of all four stacks.
Delta quadra (δ)
Nobody gets pushed here. Calm and unforced. Solid work, practical help given freely, personal space respected without anyone having to ask. At work, it's the colleague who fixed it before you knew it was broken and never mentioned it. In Model A that is four valued elements — Ne, Si, Te and Fi — sitting in the base, creative, suggestive and mobilizing slots of all four stacks.
