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.

Ikite iru Yesterday, 11:06 PMThere is a theory called 4 Sides Of Mind, usually it's combined with John Beebe's model , I don't know if you know of it and I don't know your type, but
Squirrel Yesterday, 11:00 PMSince you mentioned "shadow" type stuff,
Just fyi, I originally self-typed as ILI. But I don't have Gamma values and Socionics
Yeah, that's a pretty good video. It's amazing to me when people can still see their type through MBTI, despite its hazy nature. She's very self-aware

I think she resembles Jack from WSS
I used to watch her movies when I was a little girl and copy her style like clear nail polish, ballet flats as a teenager and then I grew older and started

I'm a huge football fan and love following the sport, especially the major leagues in Europe. It's always exciting to watch players like Messi, Ronaldo,

Semi-Dual relationship/EII advice??
I’m feeling kind of lost… I’ve recently started dating an EII, and while a lot of things are really great, some things just feel off
