Alpha: the potentially CRAZY quadra?

[Ritella]

Alphas are cool. I like them a lot.
However, there do seem to be more "crazies" in this quadra than in any other (consider some of our beloved forum members).
Luckily, the sane Alphas also perceive these people to be abnormal.
But, this begs the question: Alphas, how do you feel about being in such a disjoint quadra with constant reminders of potential for utter lunacy?
Discuss.

While I do think we have a bizarre preponderance of crazy people in our quadra, I think it's more to do with the fact that a lot of people whom are crazy, for whatever reason, identify with many of the qualities of alpha NT types. I think there is a general quality in the descriptions of both ENTps and INTjs that help justify many people's perceptions of their "novel" "misunderstood" ideas that are normally simply considered crazy as a bit more sane. In that way, I think those typings can be used as crutches. For instance, Machintruc is most probably not INTj---his fanatical religiousness and inability to really consider any viewpoint other than his own speaks towards Ne PolR in my opinion. There are many such people whom type themselves as INTj, but are simply crazy and use the typing to justify their own craziness.

I'm crazy as hell and I'm proud of it. So stfu.

I'm rather proud of craziness, and I attribute it to . However, when ENTps demonstrate that they're crazier than me, I often wish that they would settle down a bit and focus on .

OK, I realize that I'm not interpreting this the same way that MysticSonic did... Ritella, could you give us an example of what you would consider crazy?

I am the only one who still has a little respect for !!!!!!!. I am therefore crazy.

Well, before all this shit happened and he was just the admin who didn't do his job, I always thought it slightly cool that a lot of people disliked him and he never seemed to show that he even realized people didn't like him.

Now, even though he has proven himself to be untrustworthy and a cold cold son of a gun, I still see him as a human being, not some bastardly guy out to get us. I am sure that if I fed him oranges and stuff, he would get out of this self-destructive mindset.

No, there are two of us. You don't get to be crazy without me!

Oh... babbling on about things that don't make sense, contradicting himself repeatedly in search of a way to support his view of himself... He isn't even Alpha, is he? OK, his typing has been lost in the muddle of relativism that is his philosophy. He's changed types more often than Smilingeyes.

It does seem a bit precarious, being prone to "crackpot theories" (as said by the LII description on Wikisocion), but seeing as how I do value my type's valued functions, it doesn't seem to be an option to consider any other type preferable. Whenever I think of how I would like to be some other type, on second thought I realize that I'm imagining keeping my current strengths, and getting that type's strengths on top of that; if I were some other type and not INTj at all, then I would be no better off. We all have superegos and superids.
