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.
I often find that socionics type descriptions and personality disorders are mixed. I know two ILEs. One Ne and one Ti subtype. The former is pretty down

Baqer Today, 02:19 AMThis just sounds like the benefit ring lean theory.. ILE and EIE lean into one another, and IEI and LII lean into one another.. I am an IEI in G and in
Braingel Today, 01:17 AMWell, John Wilkes Booth(can't even remember if it ended in e now) was an EIE-Ni.
What type do you think Thomas Corbett was? He seemed like
Hm, maybe in Russia where there are universities on socionics, but since socio is deemed pseudoscientific, it is unlikely it would be prohibited. If it
Braingel Yesterday, 10:16 PMthere should be more that got use from his posts despite Northstar and co. who assume otherwise
nifl Yesterday, 08:04 PMreally glad to see someone else warming up to classic socionics
the W/G stereotypes have really gotten out of hand
Well, you have to consider the fact socionics was invented by constipated looking people who kinda analyzed relationships more from the outside looking

Wrong self-identification by Alpha-types
You might want to check your dcnh .. Depending on what it is, there will be an accentuation of certain functions... I forget what Ni accentuation pointed
