      This needs far more upvotes than it has. Maybe people aren’t familiar with the correct pronunciation of that letter?

        Thanks! I think the correct pronunciation might technically be /ˈfaɪ/ (FYE), but I’ve heard it pronounced /ˈfi/ (FEE) often enough, I’m not sure.

          According to Wikipedia, modern pronunciation agrees with us (“FEE”), but apparently ancient Greeks would have pronounced it “FEY” (or “FEY-EE”, I can’t quite tell to what degree epsilon-iota was a diphthong).

            when I see epsilon-iotas on campus, they tend to be diphthongs.

    The choices are rather limited, but it’s fun to use Latin I guess. Makes you sound smart, like your classifications have some cutting edge meaning. I generally use ancient wonders of the world as in…"Are you a ‘Gardens of Babylon?’ ". In all cases, and every case, you contain parts of all.

    Seriously? Not a single Brave New world reference??!!??

    Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they’re so frightfully clever. I’m really awfully glad I’m a Beta, because I don’t work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don’t want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse.”

      / the new Meyers-Briggs Personality Test. It’s literally an ego toy, something you use to enhance the narrative that you tell yourself about yourself.

        Worse yet, this is just a way to try to hierarchically categorize yourself as being simultaneously:

        1. part of an in-group,
        2. better than others
        3. a paragon of your sex

        It’s just so pitifully shallow. Like, if you’re going to stroke your own ego, at least do it with something unique to yourself. Define yourself by the people, experiences and things with which you surround yourself. Define yourself by the things you do. Literally anything that would make you more than a penis with wrapping paper and a voice-recorded greeting card saying how awesome the penis is.
