    Key words: socionics, psychology, mental functions, the functions of information metabolism, information model of the psyche (model A), the dimensions of informational metabolism functions in A. B. Bukalov

    Abstract: In this article, we will describe manifestations of dimensions of functions of IM, which were introduced by A. V. Bukalov. This concept will be illustrated by examples of statements and actions that demonstrate the differences in dimensionality of functions processing the same information aspects.

    The model of A. Augustinavichiute (model A) in 1989 was augmented by the theory of dimensionality of functions.

    A. V. Bukalov proposed the concept of the existence of different dimensions of mental functions (vector model), according to which the functions of Model A can be described by four coordinates (vectors):

    1. Coordinate (vector) of time (or vector of globally).
    2. Coordinate (vector) of immediate situation on the aspect of the function.
    3. Coordinate (vector) of norms or cultural upbringing, customs accepted in society.
    4. Coordinate (vector) which includes in itself self-valuation, personal experiences, inner values and desires. [1]

    Vladimir D. Ermak described dimensions of functions as parameters of information processing:

    Ex (from English experience) – parameters of experience – characterization (description) of individual or personal (social) experience, gathered from point of birth and accumulated throughout a person's life time in process of making decisions and undertaking directive actions;

    Nr (from English norm) – parameter of norms – characterization (description) of norms, regulations, customs, accepted practices and standards (individual or social), to be followed in the decision making process or undertaking directive actions;

    St (from English situation) – parameter of the "situation" – characterization (description) of conditions, the circumstances or situation (individual or social) of the decision-making or implementation of directive actions;

    Tm (from the English. Time) – parametric time – moment of time in the past, present, or future with respect to which an individual makes or executes personal or social decision; in other words, time as a point on a timeline i.e. a "binding" parameter of information processing to some past, present, or future point [2, p. 65-66].

    Dimension of a function depends on its purpose (the task, role) in the structure of the model.

    Functions of model A have the following dimensions:


    Function 1 (four-dimensional) – the parameters of social experience (Ex*), norms (Nr*), situation (St*), time (Tm*).
    Function 8 (four-dimensional) – parameters of individual experience (Ex), norms (Nr), situation (St), time (Tm).


    Function 2 (three-dimensional) – the parameters of social experience (Ex*), norms (Nr*), situation (St*). The function is invariant on parameter of time (Tm*).
    Function 7 (three-dimensional) – parameters of individual experience (Ex), norms (Nr), situation (St). The function is invariant on parameter of time (Tm).


    Function 3 (two-dimensional) – the parameters of social experience (Ex*), norms (Nr*). The function is invariant on parameters of ...

    1. The nature of erotic feelings

    What is the cause of erotic love?

    In humanized sexual instinct?

    So think very often. But love does not comply with one, but two, completely independent of each other's needs: the need to relieve sexual tension and the need for mental connection with another person. Both are dependent on intelligence, culture, social conditions are interrelated, but not the cause of each other. The most convincing hypothesis seems to us, in which the phenomenon is explained by the nature of human love as the pair being.

    Socionics: Typology - Small Groups
    [See attachment for full text]

    Socionics is defined and taught in many different ways. To me, it is defined as the science of types of individuals and their relationships. I would not separate it from psychology. It is the part of personality psychology that deals with personality classification, the study of relationships and laws of forming of groups with a wide spectrum of personality characteristics.


    Psychologists practicing Socionics are often asked to analyze relationships in existing groups, to build teams for certain tasks, or to review conflicts.


    Socionics has a wide spectrum of application to different areas of psychology – from career-guidance to family counseling and personal advice.

    Socionics is one of the most effective tools of self-development useful for revealing personal problems, determining strong and weak traits of one's personality and correcting behavior. Socionics allows an individual to look at oneself from outside. I have a personal conviction that every psychologist before he/she begins helping people with their problems should acquire clear understanding of him/herself and have a professional attitude towards one's own personality.


    Any expert's authority in a given sphere of knowledge depends on his/her skill of discernment of objects in the given field of study. An experienced steel maker can tell the exact metal temperature by simple observation; likewise an optic lens polisher who is an expert in his field can discern the precision of polishing by touch, and etc.


    A psychologist's expertise is revealed primarily in discerning people's characters, their motives, problems, fears and behavioral reactions. I believe that Socionics helps its practitioners to considerably progress in this direction and widen the horizons of psychology as a science in general. On the other hand, Socionics – and here I absolutely agree with Igor Kalinauskas - is a science of banalities. But the knowledge of the banal, behavioral stereotypes, of standard reactions and standard scenarios in relationships, helps to sort through and set these things aside when dealing with people and their problems.....
