Recent ArticlesSocionics 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.

my Hubs is SLE so I’m used to it. Some kid just flipped him off the other day riding through the country
introverts are more isolated psychologically and therefore often physically, so feelings of loneliness may be more common for them

you're misremembering - i consider LSE impossible, and EIE the most likely. you have too much of an abstract and emotional character,
Sometimes, I think they do because of fear of being chewed out.
I have her on ignore because her attitude gave me nightmares in the past.
Lol, I say this same thing about me being ESI. I'd literally have to discard the entire Socionics system because nothing else fits.

However, would a sensing, ethical rational type have a firm enough understanding

Is it normal to feel lonely often as an introvert?
Maybe I’m an ExFp. I’m very low energy and aloof on the surface but I definitely feel like I’m dying on the inside a lot of the time
