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.

I see a lot of Fe (not the ignoring king of Fe). Maybe It's just me cuz my typing skills are not very sharp.

There's no place in the whole of Socionics literature where you can find anything remotely like "an IEI is the only type that can transform itself

I currently think he's ILE, although my typing arguably isn't consistent with quadra values or IEs.

Well,it is interesting. I have made considerations about my Ti and it is like dragging along and the fun thing is that you practically never hear it in

Si types have the most pronounced aesthetic sense, so if they have a distaste for overweight it is probably more visceral.

You are, until they notice how you forget to wash your hands while you babble about chakras. ![]()
As the 'mood' is mostly about ethics, ''killing the mood'' is usually the intrusion of non-valued ethics in a social setting. There is no quadra-specific.
