Socionics is a theory of information processing and personality type, distinguished by its information model of the psyche, called Model A, and a model of interpersonal relations. It incorporates Carl Jung's work on Psychological Types with Antoni Kępiński's theory of information metabolism. Socionics is a modification of Jung's personality type theory that uses eight psychic functions. These functions process information at varying levels of competency and interact with the corresponding function in other individuals, giving rise to predictable reactions and impressions—a theory of intertype relations.
Socionics was developed in the 1970s and '80s, primarily by the Lithuanian researcher Aušra Augustinavičiūtė, an economist, sociologist, and dean of the Vilnius Pedagogical University's department of family science. A. Augustinavičiūtė has later shortened her last name from "Augustinavichiute" to "Augusta" to make it easier to spell for foreigners. The name "socionics" is derived from the word "society", because A. Augusta believed that each personality type has a distinct purpose in society, which can be described and explained by socionics. Augusta created symbols to represent the functions described by Carl Jung and — together with a circle of fellow researchers/hobbyists — eventually created what is known as the "socionic model of the psyche" — a description of the psyche where each of the 8 information elements has its place in each person's psyche.
The central idea of socionics is that information is intuitively divisible into eight categories, called information aspects or information elements, which a person's psyche processes using eight psychological functions. Each sociotype has a different correspondence between functions and information elements, which results in different ways of perceiving, processing, and producing information. This in turn results in distinct thinking patterns, values, and responses to arguments, all of which are encompassed within socionic type. Socionics' theory of intertype relations is based on the interaction of these functions between types.
Can you explain first the Idea of morphing what do you mean by that exactly so that I can try to follow your reasoning ? I don't understand the bold part.
godslave Today, 08:53 AMAh well, it's not really that complicated. If somebody is say Ne Fi, dualistically they also use Si and Te. Since we are not robots, you can easily use
squishycans2 Today, 08:28 AMI want to agree with you and it would seem really odd for that to happen, but I've been surprised before by other typings I thought weren't really possible,
squishycans2 Today, 08:22 AMConsider that information flow between types it will be tempting to imagine that the flow has an incidence on the development of a type and its "shape".
godslave Today, 08:14 AMThis reminds me. I was wondering about that actually. I can totally see why somebody might suggest that. And I can come off IEI, especially around SLEs.
squishycans2 Today, 07:32 AMI'm getting huge Dwight Schrute vibes lol.
squishycans2 Today, 06:38 AMOmg, how did you find this, lol. This is like the military having a document on how to deal with Zombies - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CONOP_8888
squishycans2 Today, 06:37 AMYeah, agreed. I met two LSEs within the same time period with two very different health levels; one was hardworking and open minded, while the other one
fauxpunk Today, 05:08 AMWell I'm glad it's not just me lol. I really like the set up to the video; it sums up my thoughts on the matter pretty well. Although, it makes me wonder

Yermak signs
Does anyone know what the plus minus signs for each IME of every type are, according to Yermak (apparently he has a different system)? Or at least where
