    Introduction to Socionics


    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.

    Romantic & Sexual Behavior of Quadras and Subtypes.





    If you are coming from MBTI please note that Socionics assigns j/p letters differently from the way MBTI does. Do not translate your MBTI type directly to Socionics type. If you want to find out your Socionics type, you can take socionics type tests, fill out a typing questionnaire form or make a freeform thread in What's My Type subforum, and read through the type discussions posted in socionics resources thread. Participating in forum discussions and chatbox provides more accurate feedback and type suggestions in typing threads. To read how Socionics j/p letter assignments differ from MBTI J/P visit the type names page.

    If you have questions about socionics intertype relations, you can post your inquiry in the Intertype Relations Subforum, or alternatively inquire about it in the forum chatbox (for access please post an introduction to get your account activated).

    Socionic knowledge gives specific recommendations on how to impress and build relationships with each of the 16 types of men. Sotsionika save you from having to resort to non-scientific method at random in the hope that at least some of your merits and not be impressed by accident scare while your partner.

    The material is arranged according to the structure of model A of each type. In fact, we offer reflects the sequence of presentation of the material issues that arise in the process of birth and development of relations. Carefully read all the strategy of "fighting on the ground." Maybe this is the beginning and you will find downright impossible and unthinkable, but, as the great Alexander Suvorov, "is hard to learn, easy in battle."

    The first step (forward): "How interesting!"
    According sotsionike in unfamiliar surroundings a person activates role function. This means that he is trying to demonstrate certain qualities in others and get their approval. And we are not talking about some random person claims and about specific types of manifestations due to its model of information processing. What exactly representative of each type tends to get approval depends on filling the third position the model A. It's not a secret, and all 16 variants are known in socionics. In life, we see the manifestation of the role function with such regularity that it starts to the imagination! Experience shows that when we first met this step almost inevitable. In an unknown situation is triggered roles, and the positive reaction to it ensures the continuation of the relationship, and the negative can push your new friend. So you have to do just a little attention to certain topics! Support role displays your friend, help him to play with you when meeting his game and you'll see what it will bring remarkable results.

    The second step (forward): "I - the girl of your dreams!"
    Founder sotsioniki A.Augustinavichiute introduced the concept of the middle dreams (we are talking about the composition of the 5th and 4th functions of model A). It is based on the most cherished and partly unconscious desire of man to receive support in areas where it does not feel confidence. Such support is never left unattended. And the one who had it, no doubt, cause sympathy. This is exactly what you need! How to implement support for the 5th and 4th positions - also not a secret. And what features are there in your vote, tell his model A. As soon as you apply for these functions positive information, your partner immediately begins to feel you trust and instinctive attraction. In fact, most successful dream of a middle embodies the type called in socionics supplementing or Douala. Douala mask will allow you to achieve your goal the shortest route. But in any case, do not be tempted to bite your vote on aspects of the 5th and 4th functions. Negative information sent here, operates extremely damaging. People of all types without exception (and you too) vulnerable and completely exposed to harsh blow to the functions of the middle of dreams. It is unworthy reception. ...

    Speaking Different Languages, Striving for the Same

    © Victor Gulenko, 1996
    From V. Gulenko, V. Tyshchenko, Jung At School.
    Translated by Dmitri Lytov
    Edited by Jeffrey Bolden





    For a long time development of socionics was limited by a single country's borders, but in 1984 its founder, Ausra Augustinaviciute, learned about the MBTI test (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator)19, and this was the beginning of communication between socionics and its “transatlantic cousin”.

    Comparison between the American type theory and socionics became possible due to the publication in 1995-1996 of several books by American authors: D. Keirsey, M. Bates, O. Kroeger, J. Thuesen, P. Tieger, and B. Barron-Tieger11-13,16. Although the primary source, the theory of personality types developed by C.G. Jung20, is the same for the both typologies, there is a serious difference between them in contents and language.
