I've noticed on the wiki that the names of types have been changed from TIMs to VERTs, e.g. Sensing Logical Extratim to Sensing Logical Extravert.
What does TIM mean anyway? Is it an abbreviation, or just something Russian?

Vert means green. Tim is a name. Doe is a deer, a female deer. I'm helping.

Augusta invented the words extratim and introtim ("Type of Information Metabolism") to avoid confusion with the psychological terms "extravert" and "introvert." The "TIM"s are widely used in Russian language socionics, but they have not caught on well here, perhaps because they were introduced too late. I like the idea, personally.
It is easier for the eye of a camel to pass through a rich man than for a needle to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Finally a sensible reply to my question! Thanks!
Anyway, I already suspected that that was what the abrrev stood for. I've decided to exclusively use TIMs, because I feel the concepts of extravert and introvert are not catching the essence. I'm even done with dichotomies. I do not believe there are sensing, intuiting, ethics and logics. There are only 8 discrete functions.
