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 will say I’m skeptical of the Si and Te seeking
I can’t verbalize the two well at all but I am sort beginning to wonder about
The only thing stopping me from typing iei there is mental/vital.. I am not asking that others type me eii in western, especially without a shadow model.
Braingel Today, 04:38 AMI named myself this as a half joke and a half truth. I will be a spiritual luminary to humanity with my visions and will bring about societal healing
Braingel Today, 04:29 AMI mean I don't know if I have ever seen Ni defined without the dimension of time in scionics as thats crucial to it
everything else is vague
I am conscious of my attraction and repulsion to objects and relations with this mean, and try and get closer towards others (Fi+/expansion).. And Ne
Braingel Today, 04:23 AMwhat about Fi and Ne then
necrosebud Today, 04:13 AMThe biggest distinction would be the mental and vital track, where some functions are conscious and others aren’t.. I wouldn’t be a conscious
Braingel Today, 04:08 AMI mean I can understand where you might be coming with the EII for yourself
I don't really agree with the cognition/behavior distinction
skimming the SCS descriptions the essence of the functions were the same as what I got from reading other socionics lit tbh
necrosebud Today, 03:58 AM
Why I switched to mostly SCS added with my own takes for socionics, and a general ethic about typology
Hm, Se in scs has do with scientific thinking, physically apparent traits and their nuanced detail and with volition. And also, an EII has this as mental,
