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.
The amount of IEI couples I have seen in berlin is extremly high. They are often unstable too. I don't think I'm sad, it doesn't really matter to me,
on a peaceful hiatus Today, 08:57 AMDon't be too sad
one Today, 08:43 AMThe overwhelming majority of people will never experience duality, as both sides are simply too different from each other. Identical ITR are from my observation
on a peaceful hiatus Today, 08:24 AMI wonder if you’re more likely to be interested in socionics if you grew up around a dual couple?
Echo Today, 08:21 AMHowever, even if I were going to make my own alternative psychology, why would I make a forum about it? It'd be better just to try to publish through
Birdbrain Today, 05:47 AMJung told people not to marry their duals, he told people to marry their identicals preferrably, because he thought duality was just how weak minds get
Birdbrain Today, 05:16 AMI think MOST people don't like wasting their time.... People in academics get paid and socialize in their own peer groups, mostly.
anyway,
While the application of cybernetics to psychology is interesting, I doubt the rest of socionics is salvageable. Am I supposed to want to date and marry
Birdbrain Today, 03:09 AMAnyway, almost no one here is doing socionics right because one of the foundational aspects of socionics is the idea that IEs aren't just in your head,

Is Duality the Result of Soviets Calling Love a Bourgeois Concept?
This doesn't address any of my points.
