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.

this is generally an introvert thing,
Most people who completely misunderstand socionics, maybe.
Kant has an interpretation of socionics concepts? Ok.
Dmitri Lytov noted way back in 2001 the issues with this dichotomy - at least on the type level, where introverted irrationals are supposed to be "dynamic"

Most *laypeople. Most laypeople seem to think, for example, if you have Se in the id block you have primal desires for Se and you're going to be extra

Most people definitely do not think the id block is a Freudian id - something that has to do with primal desires?? Nah, even Augusta didn't think that,

A definition is an interpretation, but most people think dynamic elements are about doing things and most people think the id block is a Freudian id.

Yes, that's another attempt at an interpretation, which is distinct from the literal interpretation.
I'm not sure what you
There are socionics definitions of static and dynamic. Exodus disagreed with a common-sense definition but not with all the socionics definitions that

How to define intuition?
That would be most people. Not that their opinions really matter all that much, beyond trying to correct them, which is what I've tried to do off and
