What are some common interpretations of Socionic theory?
Obviously, each person has their own view, but what are some of the larger and more permeating divisions among "Socionists?"
What you seem to be asking is for the differences between the opinions on the authorities of this matter, correct? If thats the case, you'll just get a summation from us. Youre probably better off to read the articles from the authorites yourself. 1rst hand info > 2nd hand > 3rd hand, etc...
If you want the common folk opinion, you're probably going to need a more specific question to get anything meaningful from us(the common folk). Or read the forum threads that look interesting in intertype relations and general discussion. Anndelise and Nanashi have some very good posts.
What are some of their core tenets or foci?
Some examples that could apply to Socionics would be behaviorism/mentalism in psychology and intensionality/extensionality in logic.
I dont understand your question. You want the basic outline? That's what core tenets sound like to me. Quadra's i guess is applicable to what your asking... are you new to this field? Trying to figure out how to answer in a way that makes sense. Breadth(new) v. Depth(foundation is there).
And etc.
Alternate models?
Im not sure which are official if any really are, other than Model A, but theres DCNH /Cognitive Styles (Vortical Synergetics, Dialectic Algorthithmic, Holographic Panoramic, Causal-Determinstic) /Woofs statistical models / Model B / Aths magic metaphors / My pokemon metaphors /etc...
Subtypes?
Tons of stuff here. What do you know? What do you want out this answer?
Obviously this is a very broad and contentious topic, but try to keep an inclusive definition of Socionics. I want to know what you think!
