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.
hahaha omg that’s brutal

oh interesting, i should clarify that i dont think reading about relationships replaces them in my life. relationships are very important to me, as is
cardamomday Yesterday, 10:59 PMyes. you seem quiet and restrained there. to me, you express yourself and smile shyly, not with an open, direct attitude. EIE/ESE have leading Fe - they're
nifl Yesterday, 10:23 PMso you think its most likely to be an introverted type?
cardamomday Yesterday, 10:07 PMi'm not excluding IEI or SEI. if you're interested, you can try and post your results for an intertype test
definitely Fe, I don't really vibe well with Fi and much prefer Fe atmospheres.
cardamomday Yesterday, 09:54 PMstrongest impression for now is ILI. no high confidence in this
it's hard to evaluate what values you have directly. it's easier to do this through
I don't know if I did this right but hopefully someone will be able to gauge what my type is. I'm pretty certain on being Fe valuing, Fi does not resonate

Am I an insecure EIE or IEI?
EIE > IEI
