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.
mr provocateur aka Reality Denialist is between 2 types. There is a lot of Fi devaluing but it appears to be ignoring. There is also a lot of Ne in framing
Distance Today, 03:15 PMDon't you want to be a SLE? It seems for me that only people valuing Ti can so seriously discuss the differences between models and "schools"
Kurt Gabin Today, 02:41 PMI was a bit making fun of the idea of knowing what's inside the object (white sphere in my example). Plus the crystal ball is a sphere. Plus that character

necrosebud Today, 02:13 PMYes of course I know that you know ! I just mentioned it because I wanted to put in my post even the obvious stuff that would not necessarily be
godslave Today, 02:08 PMquoting alive here seems pretty apt
necrosebud Today, 02:04 PMofc it evokes "Ti"; I thought it very self evident so I did not mention it
...are you siggesting that I might be limited in my
Thank you.

Why I switched to mostly SCS added with my own takes for socionics, and a general ethic about typology
