Delta & Beta Psychology

[@lexiferenczy9695]

Very interesting, thrilled to see the other quadrants!

It would be very interesting to see how the conflict of the type is solved, how one incorporates both tendencies of being bureaucrat and ethereal at the same time.

@@sunsetlollypops437 Hehe, that's much more on point than you may think! :D

Interesting to hear about the conflict of the deltas as this struggle between "what is" and "what could be". When I think about my worldview I think of it as a series of "rules"/"laws"/"expectations" that I can traverse in order to exact my will onto the world. Systems, regulations, pathways, etc that sort of jump-out at me and from these coordinates, I can draw my path. This carries a certain expectation with it. Meaning, I know how to operate with the bounds of the coordinates and know what outputs are necessary in order to traverse to the next point. Because these points are so concise and clear, it carries with it an expectation on the performance within that bound. Even with my learning of CT and Vultology, I recognize there's a certain level of quality that I must operate within and if I fail to meet that standard by even a little, then I have failed. There's no exceptions, the result of my work either achieves the quality within the bounds or it doesn't. I understand that this is likely a personal thing as opposed to a universal personality thing, but I wanted to touch on the oscillation between the Ne+Si axis and my dominant Te+Fi axis. These systems and the coordinates between them creates this map that I can sort of plan my trajectory between. The way I'm thinking about it now is sort of like a constellation map of the night sky. Something that this video got me thinking about was how I sort of use this map I've conjured to sort of "game the system". I understand how the various systems of society work which grants me two particularly useful advantages: 1. I can achieve my goals and build my career quite easily. If I can't, I know where the weakpoints in my skills and knowledge lie, and from there I can patch up what I'm missing in order to produce results within that given coordinate. Allowing me to add it to my path and trajectory. 2. It allows me to find who I am as a person and how I want to make an impact on the world through these various systems contained within the coordinates. In my inner world, I have a rather vibrant mental landscape. Dreams, aspirations, hopes, goals, ambitions, etc. When I start ruminating and exploring these desires (which admittedly are sometimes idyllic) I then cast them outwards and sort of "test" them on various trajectories in the coordinate system I've mapped out about the world. Some of these dreams involve taking my inner essence and mapping them to the coordinates that reflect some aspect of myself within it. There exists a certain desire to take what exists in the various systems and "elevate" it to levels that may or may not be possible. Sometimes, this leads to a clash from within. A clash of what I want to see the world to be vs what the world really is. A good example of this is the Justice System in the US. I want to see the Justice System put all of its emphasis on reform, not punishment. I want to see people who've made mistakes (sometimes terrible ones) converted to functioning members of society. See more love, rather than punishment and shame. But the systems that currently exist don't allow for this happen easily. Politics, cultural biases, prisons often being privately owned and operated for profit, an outdated legal structure, and of course, the general human tendency to be harsh and unforgiving. These are some of the systems that I've mapped out in relation to the Justice System as its own system entirely (some larger systems have their own coordinates from within, so there's a bit of "system nesting" involved). When a goal is particularly strong, I can chase after it. Never yielding. Making changes necessary onto each of the systems within the larger systems until finally, the system and all of it's sub-systems are reformed, producing the result I wanted to produce. Of course, changing the Justice System is a monumental task and not one I can do on my own. But in my head, I can do it. Or so it seems and I play it out from within and observe the results that need to occur within each of the sub-system's bounds. However, this results in an eternal struggle of what I WANT to do vs what I can ACTUALLY do. Sometimes I erroneously put the pressure onto my self and blame myself from not being enough. Not being strong enough. Not being smart enough (a frequent insecurity of mine), not being skilled enough, etc. Other times, I feel this call from within to be "realistic" and sometimes crush my own dreams before they get started. Other times, I throw caution to the wind and attempt to try it anyway. Ignoring what's realistic and choosing to operate in "fantasy land" because the call to make a difference is so strong that I just want to try! And then it fails. And then I fall-back and operate within the bounds of the system. I know that I can produce results within the system's bounds but I ALWAYS hunger to push the bounds, to move out of the small results and conjure a larger output that makes a difference. There's the additional issue at-hand here of me wanting discovering what kind of person I want to be in the world. I have the idyllic sense of self where I enjoy living as this "person of supreme power and determination" and then there's the realistic Roger that has strong determination, but is very much NOT a person of supreme power. And even my own determination has limits and I find myself running my tank empty. A conflict between what I *believe* I can do vs what I can actually do. It leads to a battle of "what I want to be" vs "what I actually am". And this can manifest in the world as well as my exploits within the world. I have my favorite trajectories among the systems I've mapped, but I also explore other trajectories in an attempt to manifest my inner-world onto the outer world. For example, I have (and still am) quite fascinated with law. I love legal work, but if I were to be a lawyer, I'd ONLY do it pro-bono. I wouldn't do it for money. BUT. Wait. I have to make money right? That's one system I need to be aware of, I can't do that for free especially if I want to be criminal defense attorney for people who I believe are being wrongfully convicted. That's a lot of time, money, and effort and legal work is a full-time job. So I then think I can continue doing my software enginnering career and do legal work on the side. BUT. Wait. I can't do that either because then the quality of work I'm producing between the two systems is now sub-par and I'm just not going to do that. This is a classic example of how I want to exact my will onto the world in a fantasy, almost superhero type way, but the reality of the world steps on the throat of that manifestation. Sometimes this is heartbreaking. Sometimes I take it on the cheek and "go back to the drawing board". The conflict of "what I want to become" and "what I'm actually manifesting" weighs heavily on my mind. It feels like the flames of my passion engulf me when I let it go for too long out of control. I find the reality of the world boring but essential to achieve success. I think of my internal world as peaceful and fantastical but a lot of them are just child-like dreams that can't be done in reality given my current mapping of the world systems. There's additional struggles as well such as the struggle of seeing myself becoming the person I want to become. There's a bit of rebellion involved as well. Rebelling against the way the world operates vs the way I think SHOULD operate. And there's the struggle of how I SHOULD operate within that world vs the way I ACTUALLY operate. There's a war within myself to correct and fix my flaws while simultaneously taking responsibility for the flaws that exist in the world. One silly example I have is I'm legitimately upset with the fact that I can't go back in time and see how the early humans acted. I genuinely got upset about it and even felt hopeless because I have all of these questions, I have acquired all of this knowledge about the human ancestry, but I can't see it. Can't experience it. And yes, I even looked into time-travel and the way it theoretically would work. I even found myself daydreaming about how to make a time-machine and how we could acquire footage of the early humans. Reflecting on it I realize just how out there that is, but in the moment I was emboldened with passion. But, I just couldn't find a trajectory in my coordinate mapping to even remotely make such a thing possible. And that depressed me because in the moment, it didn't even feel remotely possible. I had to abandon the dream and for awhile it killed my desire to learn more about the human ancestry because I just couldn't let go of the hope that I could see our ancestors haha. Anyway, a fairly long anecdote on my inner and outer conflict as a delta.

So beautifully articulated, i truly cherish these unique insights into human lifepaths & mind spaces. Hope to get my reading soon so i can be sure where i fall

[@CognitiveTypology]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it.

[@RetroXRicardo]

Oooooh these quadrants seem to be what people are talking about. So excited to deep dive into this! 👏👏👏

[@chrisd.2831]

will you make alpha and gamma too?

[@Nyalloyd]

It would be super if you didn’t use absolutely disgusting representations of human beings to exemplify type. Unless you have something against Delta types, I’m sure there are better options than Tucker Carlson. Good information but I don’t want to be triggered into cringe mode to learn.

[@leahnorar]

Auburn is an exemplary, objective human and Tucker was a perfect example. You can’t truly be seriously this offend. If so, Please figure out how to handle your triggers like an adult.
