Socionics is based upon the idea that a person's character acts like a set of blocks called "psychological functions". Different ways of combining and chaining these functions result in different ways of accepting and producing information, which in turn results in different ] patterns and thus different character types. Socionics also includes an intertype relations theory, based on the interaction of these functions between different character types.

* Sensation - all perceptions by means of the sense organs
* Intuition - perception by way of the unconscious, or perception of unconscious events
* Thinking (logic) - interpretation of information based on whether it is correct or incorrect
* Feeling (ethics) - interpretation of information based on its ethical aspects

Sensation and intuition referred to as either ''perceiving'' or ''irrational'' functions. They are thus named because unlike the ''rational'' (also called ''judging'') functions, thinking and feeling, they tend to the experience of reality rather than the interpretation of it. One function dominates consciousness and its opposite characterizes unconsciousness. Generally there is ''auxiliary'' (i.e. secondary) function from other pair of functions. It is common to refer to both dominant and auxiliary functions, for example intuitive-thinking or sensation-feeling.


== Purpose ==
Attitude of consciousness is basic direction of conscious interests and energies flow. Two possible directions of flow are ''introversion'' (inward to subjective, psychological experience) or ''extroversion'' (outward to the environment of objects, other people and collective norms). Opposite attitudes characterize unconsciousness. So the dominant function of consciousness can be introverted or extroverted. That gives as a result 8 different major psychological types. Mixed types includes also auxiliary function.


Socionics provides a means of predicting the character of relations and degree of business compatibility, information sharing and psychological compatibility of people before their joining in one collective group, i.e. to solve the "inverse task" of ].<ref name="ReferenceC">{{cite web |title=The effective management and staff consulting with the use of the socionics technologies |author1= Bukalov, A.V. |author2=Karpenko, O.B. |author3=Chykyrysova, G.V. |publisher=International Institute of Socionics |url=http://socionic.info/pdf/effective%20management.pdf}}</ref>
==Socionics functions==
The basic premise of socionics is that the complete information about any object can be described by 8 categories, called ''socionics functions''. Augustinavičiūtė introduced special symbols for each of this functions, to simplify their discussion.

According to G. Fink and B. Mayrhofer, socionics is considered one of the four most popular models of personality (including cybernetic theory Maruyama, five-factor model, ] and the ]), deserving special attention because of its importance in the study of personality.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Fink G. |author2=Mayrhofer W. |title=Cross-cultural competence and management — setting the stage |journal=European Journal of Cross-Cultural Competence and Management |year=2009 |volume=1 |issue=1 |page=42 |doi=10.1504/EJCCM.2009.026733 |url=http://inderscience.metapress.com/content/h040q1h67200h2n4/fulltext.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121206034915/http://inderscience.metapress.com/content/h040q1h67200h2n4/fulltext.html |archive-date=2012-12-06}}</ref>
==The 16 types==
Classical socionics theory contains 16 different psychological types. These types are described by their two strongest functions, where Jung's functions are used. While Jung described only 8 types, considering the most dominant function of the personality, socionics, like the ], describes the different types based on pair of functions - dominant and secondary one. The secondary function is opposite to the dominant function in extroversion and rationality. For example, if the dominant function is introverted thinking (a rational and introverted function), the secondary function must be irrational and extroverted, which means the only two functions which could complement introverted thinking are extroverted sensing or extroverted intuition.


According to J. Horwood, and A. Maw, socionics is a science developed by {{lang|lt|Augustinavičiūtė|italics=no}} in the 1970s. {{lang|lt|Augustinavičiūtė|italics=no}} and her colleagues worked with Carl Jung's personality typologies to develop personality-based relationship profiles. It was found that the nature and development of interpersonal relationships (both professional and personal) are far from random. Instead, they are based on how well suited each individual's psychological profiles are to one another, allowing {{lang|lt|Augustinavičiūtė|italics=no}} to develop 16 'socionic types' predicting and describing the interpersonal relationships between any combination of Jung's personality types.<ref name="Horwood J. 2012. Pp. 1-6"/>
Augustinavičiūtė usually used descriptions like ''sensory logical introvert'' to refer to the type. In this example the first function is an introverted sensing and secondary is logic (which needs to be extroverted). Besides this, Augustinavičiūtė used the names of the famous people as a moniker for this type. For example, she called the type of sensory logical introvert just as ''Gabin'' or sensory ethical introvert as ''Dumas''. Some later researchers believed that using names of famous people is not quite appropriate and used instead such names as ''Craftsman'' or ''Mediator''. Such names were selected to describe the social role of the particular type in the most precise way.


According to R. Blutner and E. Hochnadel, "socionics is not so much a theory of personalities per se, but much more a theory of type relations providing an analysis of the relationships that arise as a consequence of the interaction of people with different personalities."<ref name=blunter2010 />
In Russian, to keep the text short, the types are referred to by three letter acronyms. These acronyms are also used to specify the types in English, for example ILE, which stands for intuitive logical extravert. However, some authors in socionics specify the type using MBTI terminologies, given the similarities present between the two theories. In order to distinguish between socionics and MBTI types using this nomenclature, the tradition of leaving the last letter uncapitalized has been established among some groups.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} For example, an MBTI extroverted sensing thinking judging type is often referred to as an ESFJ, while a socionics ethical sensory extravert is referred to as an ESFj.


Philosopher L. Monastyrsky treats socionics as pre-science. At the same time, L. Monastyrsky himself proposes to pay attention to "the concept of socionic type".<ref name="mon">{{Cite journal|author=Монастырский Л.

Philosopher E. Pletuhina defines socionics as the study about the information interaction of the human psyche with the outside world, between people. She also defines it as the doctrine of psychological types of people and the relationships between them, as well as notes that the particular quality of socionics is that it considers the innate qualities of the human psyche, including the personality type, which cannot be arbitrarily changed without prejudice to the mental and physical health.<ref name="sociosphera.com">''Е.

==Model A== ==History==
{{POV section|date=December 2015}}
Aušra Augustinavičiūtė developed a model of personality (so-called ''model A''), which includes all eight socionic functions.<ref>Аугустинавичюте Аушра '''' (In Russian) The title can be translated as ''Function theory. Functionics.''</ref> A function's position in model A reflects the nature of its usage by a particular type. The following diagram is an example of the positions of the functions as expressed in model A.
The basic structure of socionics was established in the 1960s and 1970s by {{lang|lt|Augustinavičiūtė|italics=no}},<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.socionics.us/intro.shtml|title=Introduction to Socionics|access-date=2009-05-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090301044617/http://socionics.us/intro.shtml|archive-date=2009-03-01|url-status=dead}}</ref>{{clarify|date=December 2015}} along with a group of enthusiasts who met in ], ].

The name 'socionics' is derived from the word 'society, since Augustinavicˇiute believed that each personality type has a distinct purpose in society, which can be described and explained by socionics. The system of socionics is in several respects similar to the MBTI; however, whereas the latter is dominantly used in the USA and Western Europe, the former is mainly used in Russia and Eastern Europe. For more information, the reader is referred to the website of the International Institute of Socionics and to several scientific journals edited by this institution<http://socionic.info/en/esocjur.html#top>. Despite several similarities there are also important differences. For instance, the MBTI is based on questionnaires with so-called forced-choice questions. Forced choice means that the individual has to choose only one of two possible answers to each question. Obviously, such tests are self-referential. That means they are based on judgments of persons about themselves. Socionics rejects the use of such questionnaires and is based on interviews and direct observation of certain aspects of human behavior instead. However, if personality tests are well constructed and their questions are answered properly, we expect results that often make sense. For that reason, we do not reject test questions principally, but we have to take into account their self-referential character. Another difference relates to the fact that socionics tries to understand Jung's intuitive system and to provide a deeper explanation for it, mainly in terms of informational metabolism (Kepinski & PZWL, 1972). Further, socionics is not so much a theory of personalities per se, but much more a theory of type relations providing an analysis of the relationships that arise as a consequence of the interaction of people with different personalities.}}</ref> were published between 1978 and 1980.

=== Relation to the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator ===
===Nature of functions===
{{POV section|date=April 2020}} <!-- Contrasts with MBTI which it says is of questionable validity, but doesn't cite a source saying Socionics has been empirically validated. -->
* Function 1 - ''leading'', program, primary, base, or dominant function. This is the strongest conscious function, and the most utilized function of the psyche. A person's outlook and role in life is largely determined by the nature of this function. One is generally very confident in the use of this function, and may defend it when challenged.
{{Main|Myers–Briggs Type Indicator}}
* Function 2 - ''creative'' or secondary function, is second in influence only to the dominant function. It assists the dominant function in achieving its goal. One may be somewhat less confident with the use of this function than with his dominant function. As a result, the creative function is sometimes less instrumental when a person is challenged or threatened.
According to Betty Lou Leaver, Madeline Ehrman, and Boris Shekhtman, like the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), socionics is a sixteen-type derivative of Jung's work. Unlike MBTI, which is widely criticized<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2013/mar/19/myers-briggs-test-unscientific |title=Nothing personal: The questionable Myers-Briggs test |last=Burnett |first=Dean |website=] |date=19 March 2013 |access-date=2016-06-27}}</ref> for the lack of validity and utility,<ref name="Pittenger1993">{{cite journal | last = Pittenger | first = David J. | title = Measuring the MBTI...And Coming Up Short. | journal = Journal of Career Planning and Employment | volume = 54 | issue = 1 | pages = 48–52 | date = November 1993 | url = http://www.indiana.edu/~jobtalk/HRMWebsite/hrm/articles/develop/mbti.pdf | access-date = 2016-07-11 | archive-date = 2006-12-06 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061206025148/http://www.indiana.edu/~jobtalk/HRMWebsite/hrm/articles/develop/mbti.pdf | url-status = dead }}</ref> the socionics model strives to stay very close to the original descriptions and type labels suggested by ].<ref>''Betty Lou Leaver, Madeline Ehrman, Boris Shekhtman'': Achieving Success in Second Language Acquisition. – Cambridge University Press, 2005. {{ISBN|052154663X}}</ref> According to Betty Lou Leaver, "today's concepts of personality emanate most frequently from the work of Carl Jung, whose theories and research have blossomed into a juncture of philosophical and sociological inquiry. This field of inquiry has been called socionics."<ref name="Betty Lou Leaver" />
* Function 3 - ''role'' function, is a weak but conscious function. One generally tries to be at least adequate in areas where use of the role function is necessary. However, generally one has very little control or confidence over the role function, and criticism is painfully acknowledged with respect to it. Tactful assistance is required from one's dual-seeking function to overcome the problems associated with the role function.
* Function 4 - ''place of least resistance'' or the painful function, is a weak and conscious function, in addition to being the weakest function of the psyche. One painfully perceives his complete inability to use this function, and reacts negatively to its imposition upon him. Tactful assistance is required from one's hidden agenda to overcome the problems associated with this function.
* Function 5 - ''suggestive'', or inspired function, is a weak and unconscious function which is largely lacked. One requires assistance from somebody confident in this function in order to overcome the difficulties it presents.
* Function 6 - ''actualization'', the hidden agenda or estimative function. This is a weak and unconscious function which one often understands poorly. Nonetheless, this function has a strong influence over one's activities, and one requires assistance from someone who uses it confidently in order to understand it.
* Function 7 - ''observant'' function, the function of personal knowledge. This is a strong but unconscious function. One generally has a good grasp of this function, but attempts to limit its use considerably. Arguments calling for restraint are often used to overlook this function.
* Function 8 - ''demonstrative'' function. This is the strongest of the unconscious functions. As a result, it is so deeply rooted into the psyche that one is usually not even aware of its existence or utilization.


According to Sergei Moshenkov and Tung Tang Wing, "MBTI and Socionics are contemporary sister sciences that categorize and describe human personality types in accordance to the predominance of certain mental faculties called psychic functions by Dr. Carl Jung."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Moshenkov |first1=Sergei |last2=Wing |first2=Tung Tang |date=2010 |title=MBTI and Socionics: Legacy of Dr. Carl Jung |publisher=CreateSpace |page=216 |isbn=978-1452835648}}</ref>
===Blocks of the psyche===
According to Augustinavičiūtė, there are four blocks of the psyche: the ego block, the super-ego block, the id block, and the super-id block. The ego block is comprised of the dominant and creative functions, the super-ego block contains the role and PoLR functions, the super-id block contains the dual-seeking function and the hidden agenda, while the id block contains the seventh and eighth functions.


A. Shmelev in his review of the book "MBTI: type definition" by I. Myers-Briggs and P. Myers notes the highest popularity of socionic books in Russian and remarks that their authors are appealing to the literary and artistic associations of the mass reader, in contradistinction to books on MBTI, which contain the empirical and statistical data on the types distribution in professional groups.<ref name="Шмелев">
The functions within the ego and super-ego blocks are said to be conscious functions, while those within the id and super-id blocks are said to be unconscious. Similarly, the functions presiding within the ego and id blocks are said to be strong functions which are expressed easily or naturally, while the functions of the super-ego and super-id blocks are weak and expressed with difficulty or support, or are not expressed at all.

Bogomaz considers the socionic typology as a version of post-Jung typology and believes that on a number of criteria it is more perspective than MBTI for the study of the differences between people, because it expands the volume of the typological features and offers an opportunity to form various typological groups with different motivations, attitudes, temperament, perception of information and thinking styles. It is also important the existence of preconditions to study intertype relations, that are substantially not developed within MBTI. S.A. Bogomaz thinks that the creation of the theory of intertype relationships is undoubtedly contribution of {{lang|lt|Augustinavičiūtė|italics=no}} to the development of Jung typologies.<ref name=bogomaz>{{cite book |url=http://www.socioniko.net/ru/articles/bogomaz-brochure2000.pdf |author=Богомаз С.

===Identity===
Relations of Identity are characterized by two representatives of the same type. In a relation of identity, both partners act in a similar manner. Often, both partners will perceive similar situations and problems, and will take similar actions. Partners usually understand the motivations behind the other's actions.

Business socionics – Moscow Business School "Intel-Synthesis", 2001. (Library of the "Personnel Management" Journal). )</ref>
===Duality===
Duality is a fundamental concept in Socionics. Dual relations are characterized by mutual benefit and support. Duality occurs between two members of the same quadra who are both either rational or irrational. The 8 duality pairs are as follows:
*LII/ESE
*ILE/SEI
*LSI/EIE
*SLE/IEI
*ESI/LIE
*SEE/ILI
*EII/LSE
*IEE/SLI
In dual relations, the super-id functions of both partners are the ego functions of the other. As the super-id functions are generally the areas in which a person needs assistance from somebody skilled in the use of the function, duality facilitates mutual support and benefit quite nicely.


Izmailova and Kiseleva found socionics interesting to be applied in advertising<ref>''Измайлова М. А.'' Психология рекламной деятельности. Практическое пособие. — М.

===Activity===
Activity relations occur between two members of the same quadra who share the same preference for introversion or extroversion. Relations of activity can resemble duality in that the dual (super-id) functions are both present in the ego functions of the other partner. However, because the dominant function of one's activity partner is one's actualization or hidden agenda function, activity relations are generally less fulfilling than dual relations, as activity partners are most skilled in the area of the psyche (i.e. thinking, feeling, intuition, or sensing) in which their partners are most unconfident. Activity relations are often less fulfilling than duality and better suited to friendly correspondence.

Title can be translated as: ''Zalogina E. M.'' Language personality: linguistic and psychological aspects: based on the novel "Demons" and "Diary of a Writer" by F. M. Dostoevsky.)</ref>
===Mirror===
Mirror relations occur between types who share the same ego functions, yet place different emphases on them; the dominant function of one partner is the creative function of the other. Mirror relations are characterized by similar actions and motivations between partners and general mutual understanding. An important source of dissension between mirror types is the opposing temperament, as all mirror relations occur between EJ and IP temperaments, or between EP and IJ temperaments. EJ find the passive, unstable IP behavior to be a severe hindrance in getting things done, while introverted irrationals find the restless and proactive actions of EJ types paranoid and stifling. Similarly, EP types find IJ types to be very dull and boring, while IJ types see EP types as wildly unpredictable and impetuous.


Socionic methods have been proposed for the modeling of information processes in the "human-machine" systems,<ref>''Букалов Г.К., Корабельников Р.В.'' Основы поиска новых методов повышения износостойкости рабочих органов текстильных машин. — Кострома: Изд-во КТГУ, 2001. {{ISBN|5-8285-0013-9}}. ({{in lang|ru}}. Title can be translated as: ''Bukalov G.K., Korabelnikov R.V.'' Basics of search for new methods for increasing the wear resistance of the working body of textile machines. – Kostroma, 2001.)</ref> and practically used to model systems "aircraft operator" in pilots' training,<ref name=avia /> and other similar areas.
===Comparative===
Comparative relations occur between types who share the same dominant function but possess different creative functions. Comparative partners often see each other as interesting people and are often able to see each other's motivations, but often tailor their actions towards areas in which the other partner is unskilled or uninterested, as the creative function for one partner is the place of least resistance of the other.


Due to the variety of applications of socionics, its concepts and information models, in the 1990s, Bukalov proposed to distinguish socionics of personality, or differential socionics, and generalized, more abstract integral socionics.<ref name="integr">{{cite journal |author=Bukalov, A.B. |title=Интегральная соционика.

Types of groups, nations and states. Ethnosocionics |trans-journal=Socionics, mentology and personality psychology |publisher=International Institute of Socionics }}</ref> Bukalov believes that the concept of information metabolism, cybernetic modeling and general systems theory extends beyond of psychology and sociology, and consider the relationship of technical information devices, and the types of information human interactions as operator with various technical and electronic management systems of major industries, including chemical, nuclear power stations, complex computer complexes with adaptive tunable to a specific operator interfaces.<ref name="integr" />
===Semi-duality===
Relations of semi-duality are similar to relations of duality. Semi-duality occurs between partners who share each other's dual-seeking (5th) functions but lack each other's actualization (hidden agenda) functions. As a result, both partners often perceive elements of duality from the relationship but feel the other partner is misplacing the correct emphasis; as semi-duals will be able to help their partners with their dual seeking functions but both have the least confidence in the same area of the psyche (thinking, feeling, sensing, or intuition).


===Look-a-like / Cooperation=== ===Propagation of socionics===
Look-a-like relations occur between partners who have the same creative function but differing dominant functions. As a result, look-a-like partners may often perform similar activities or have similar fields of interest, but often do not understand each other's internal motivations. Look-a-like relations for this reason can become very formal and bussinesslike.

===Illusionary===
Relations of Illusion occur between partners whose creative functions are the other partners' hidden agenda, but whose dual seeking functions are part of the id block of the other partner. Relations of illusion can resemble duality, but neither partner is particularly satisfied, as they receive no assistance in their dual-seeking functions from this relation.


=== Pedagogical socionics ===
===Benefit / Instruction / Order===
Relations of Benefit are asymmetrical relations; one type benefits another. Relations of benefit are characterized by the beneficiary's attempt to draw in the benefactor to a world where the benefactor clearly does not belong. The beneficiary's dual seeking function is the benefactor's creative function, and as a result the beneficiary often takes an interest in the benefactor. However, the benefactor's dual seeking function is the beneficiary's place of least resistance, and the benefactor finds the beneficiary a highly uninteresting person. Relations of benefit frequently end with the departure of the benefactor... often due to the utter bewilderment of the beneficiary.


The concepts and methods of socionics are widely used in ], this collaboration creates a new scientific branch – pedagogical socionics.<ref>''Surtayeva N.N., Ivanova O.N.''

Using pedagogical socionics in solving conflict relationships in educational process. — Omsk, 1998</ref>
===Supervision===
Relations of supervision are asymmetrical; one type supervises another. Relations of supervision are characterized by the supervisor's attempt to introduce his base function into the supervisee's life. The supervisor often perceives the supervisee as an interesting person and understands the supervisee's lifestyle, since the supervisor's creative function is the supervisee's base function. Nonetheless, the supervisor is often alarmed by the lack of his base function in the supervisor's actions, as the supervisor's base function is the supervisee's place of least resistance. The supervisee often perceives the supervisor to be the evil incarnate, while the bewildered supervisor wonders why the supervisee reacts so poorly to his benevolent assistance.


Pletuhina noted that the parent, trainer or teacher, who knows the theory of socionics, who also understands an idea of the "image of a socionics type" and who can determine the child's personality type with a sufficient degree of probability can use those opportunities of the individual approaches that socionics provides to raise and educate a child.<ref name="sociosphera.com"/>
===Contrary / Contrast===
Contrary relations occur between types confident in the same area of the psyche but who place different emphases on each function. For example, the relation between an EIE and an EII, who possess in the ego block extroverted feeling with introverted intuition and introverted feeling with extroverted intuition, respectively, is a contrary relation. Contrary relations often consist of similar lifestyles with lack of mutual understanding and differing thought processes.


The role that socionics takes in the educational process is not limited to being a teacher's tool for the managing process.<ref>''Gulenko V.V., Tyshchenko V.P.'' . — Novosibirsk, 1997. — 268 p. {{ISBN|5-89441-014-2}}</ref> It is also a base for development and improving the educational system and for preparing staff.

===Super-ego===
Super-ego relations occur between types whose ego functions are the other partners' super-ego functions. Super-ego relations are generally characterized by open conflict, discomfort, differing values, and lack of true understanding of partners' motivations.


Socionics is also researched practical methods and techniques dedicated to evaluation person's individual psychological values to prognoses professional success.<ref>''Иванов Ю.В.'' — М.: Бизнес-школа «Интел-Синтез», 2001.

===Quasi-Identity===
Relations of Quasi-Identity are characterized by mutual misunderstanding. One partner's ego functions are the other partner's demonstrative and observant functions. As quasi-identicals have opposite functions, they will often have similar interests and become involved in similar activities, but they rarely understand each other's motivations or ideas.


=== Socionics in astronautics ===
===Conflict===
Relations of Conflict are, unsurprisingly, characterized by constantly escalating conflict. Conflictors are the types that are least similar to each other, and conflicting partners rarely understand anything regarding each other's motivations or lifestyles. Conflictors may take for granted truths that their partners will dismiss as absurd. Sometimes conflictors understand each other so little that the conflict is not well understood, but prevails under the surface, discomfiting both partners to no end. Conflictors also are of opposite temperaments, a fact which both partners often find irritating.

==Temperaments==
There are four temperaments in socionics; namely, the extroverted rational (EJ), introverted rational (IJ), extroverted irrational (EP), and introverted irrational (IP) temperaments.


=== Aviation socionics ===
===Extroverted Rational Temperament===
Extroverted rational types, namely the ESE, EIE, LIE, and LSE, are characterized by energetic and proactive behavior.

===Introverted Rational Temperament===
Introverted rational types, namely the LII, LSI, ESI, and EII, are characterized by slow and methodical behavior.

===Extroverted Irrational Temperament===
Extroverted irrational types, namely the ILE, SLE, SEE, and IEE, are characterized by impulsive and unpredictable behavior.

== Quadras ==

A Quadra is a group of four sociotypes in which mirror, activity, and dual relations are experienced by each member of the group. The unique feature of the quadra is that it offers the greatest degree of psychological comfort among all groups containing four types in which functional interaction is symmetrical. The feeling of comfort and harmony produced by the quadra is due to the fact that all types in the quadra are alike in that they seek the expression of the four information elements in their ego and super-id blocks and the repression of the information elements in their super-ego and id blocks.
==Jung's psychological types==
{{Main|Psychological Types}}
] describes four ''psychological functions'' that are capable of becoming applicable psychically, but to differing degrees in individuals:<ref name=Psychological_Types>Jung, Carl G., Psychological Types (The Collected Works of Carl G. Jung, Vol.6), 1976 (1921), {{ISBN|0-691-01813-8}} The chapter X, '''' contains descriptions of basic psychological functions and 8 major psychological types.</ref>

* Sensation – all perceptions by means of the sense organs
* Intuition – perception by way of the unconscious, or perception of unconscious events
* Thinking (in socionics, Logic) – judgement of information based on reason
* Feeling (in socionics, Ethics) – judgement of information based on sentiment

In addition to these four types, Jung defines a polarity between introverted and extraverted personalities. This distinction is based on how people invest energy: either into the inner, subjective, psychical world (usually called {{lang|de|Seele}}, soul, by Jung), or toward their outer, objective, physical world (including one's body).

By Jung's rules, 16 psychological types exist. But in his book "Psychological Types" he described in detail only 8, distinguished by the 8 possible dominant functions. Contrary to Socionics and MBTI, Jung did not conclude that the types had two introverted functions and two extroverted functions. He instead outlined that extroverted personality types had a Dominant extroverted function, with the remaining functions being of varying if lower levels of development that range from being Inferior introverted functions that are necessarily retarded to auxiliary functions that lie in the middle.<ref>"As a consequence of this one-sided development, one or more functions are necessarily retarded. These functions may properly be called inferior ..." (Jung, 1971:Def. Inferior Function, par. 763).</ref>

==Information metabolism elements (often confused with memetics) ==
]

In socionics, Jung's cognitive functions are always either introverted (focused on refining quality) or extroverted (focused on increasing quantity), and are referred to as ''information metabolism elements'' (IM Elements).<ref>{{cite journal |author=Augustinavičiūtė, А. |title=Комментарий к типологии Юнга и введение в информационный метаболизм |language=ru |year=1995 |trans-title=A Commentary on Jung's Typology and an Introduction to the Information Metabolism |issue=2 |journal=Соционика, ментология и психология личности |trans-journal=Socionics, mentology and personality psychology}}</ref> These are said to process ''information aspects''. To understand what an information aspect is, it is necessary to understand information metabolism as Augustinavičiūtė understood it.

{{lang|lt|Augustinavičiūtė|italics=no}} states that the human mind uses eight elements of information metabolism (mental functions) to perceive the world, and each of these eight elements reflect one particular aspect of objective reality.<ref name="The Dual Nature of Man">{{cite book|author=Augustinavičiūtė, А. |title=Дуальная природа человека |year=1978 |language=ru |trans-title=The Dual Nature of Man |url=http://www.socionics.us/works/dual_nature_of_man.shtml |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091104095737/http://www.socionics.us/works/dual_nature_of_man.shtml |archive-date=2009-11-04 }}</ref> In her works she describes aspects of the world based on physical quantities such as potential and kinetic energy, space, time, and their properties.

Often, other socionists have equated these information elements with their definition and according to fundamental physical concepts as well (Matter-Time-Energy-Space).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://socionika.info/ermak.html|title=В.Д.Ермак: Взаимодействие психики человека с окружающим миром|website=socionika.info}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://psychotype.ru/article/a-4.html|title=Аспекты в соционике (аспектоника) &#124; Школа Физиогномической Соционики Т. Духовского|website=psychotype.ru |language=ru}}</ref>). ] is compared to Thinking, ] to Feeling, ] to Sensing, and ] to ]. Given the division of aspects of the absolute between Extroverted ("black") and Introverted ("white"), being four times two, their number is eight.{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}}

Text-based notation systems are also used, such as Victor Gulenko's 8 Latin letters ('P' for Pragmatism, 'E' for Emotions, 'F' for Force, 'I' for Ideas, 'L' for Laws, 'R' for Relation, 'S' for Senses, and 'T' for Time, respectively),<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://worldsocionics.blogspot.com/2016/03/shorthand-notation-for-model-a.html|title=World Socionics: WSS Shorthand Notation for Model A|first=Jack Oliver|last=Aaron|date=March 3, 2016}}</ref> or Myers-Briggs notation (Te, Fe, Se, Ne, Ti, Fi, Si, and Ni, respectively).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://typelogic.com/fa.html|title=Functional Analysis of Psychological Types|last=Butt|first=Joe|date=2011|website=TypeLogic}}</ref>

==The 16 types==
{{lang|lt|Augustinavičiūtė|italics=no}} usually used names like ''sensory-logical introvert'' (SLI) to refer to the types. In SLI the leading function is introverted sensation and the creative function is extraverted logic. She also introduced the practice of referring to types by the name of a famous person of the type (although types of these persons are not universally agreed upon, with the old name ''Napoleon'' for the SEE being replaced by ''Caesar'' after being deemed an inaccurate type assignment). For example, she called the SLI ''Gabin'' and the SEI ''Dumas''. Also sometimes names such as ''Craftsman'' or ''Mediator'' are used to express the social role of the type—a convention introduced by socionist Viktor Gulenko in 1995.<ref> {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090430072536/http://socionics.kiev.ua/articles/methodology/type-name/ |date=April 30, 2009 }}, "Methodology"</ref> Given the formal similarities present between Socionics and the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) abbreviations frequently used in English, some prefer to distinguish socionic type names from Myers–Briggs' names by writing the last letter (J or P) in lower case (for example, ENTp, ESFj)—a practice introduced by Sergei Ganin.<ref>, "Things to consider about MBTI® theory (Part 1)"</ref> This is because the relationship between socionics and Myers–Briggs and ] is controversial.

Dmitri Lytov and Marianna Lytova state that "main spheres of application of socionics are almost the same as for the Myers–Briggs Type Theory", and that observed differences in correlation "represent characteristic stereotypes of the socionics and the Keirsey typology.<ref name="socioniko.net">{{Cite web|url=https://www.socioniko.net/en/articles/lytovs-intro3.html|title=Introduction into Socionics|website=www.socioniko.net}}</ref> Others state that MBTI and socionics "correlate in roughly 30% of cases," and that "there are many subtle differences".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.socionics.us/intro.shtml |title=Introduction to Socionics – Socionics.us |access-date=2009-05-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090301044617/http://socionics.us/intro.shtml |archive-date=2009-03-01 |url-status=dead }}</ref>{{clarify|date=December 2015}} J and P in Socionics and Myers–Briggs are completely different:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.socio.dp.ua/newspaper/1997/pavlov3/|title=Соционика в Днепропетровском клубе соционики и социальных технологий – Существует ли признак "статика-динамика"?|publisher=Socio.dp.ua|access-date=2015-12-15|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160221153805/http://www.socio.dp.ua/newspaper/1997/pavlov3/|archive-date=2016-02-21}}</ref> in Myers–Briggs, J and P stands for the ''first '''extraverted''' function'' (J—extraverted thinking or feeling, P—extraverted sensing or intuition); in Socionics, J and P stands for the '''''first''' function'' (J—rational (thinking and feeling), P—irrational (sensing and intuition)). This '''formal''' conversion is carried out in accordance with the ''']'''.

The second concept is the functional dimensions. It was introduced by Aleksandr Bukalov.<ref name="Boukalov, A.V. 1995">Boukalov, A. V. (1995). On the dimensions of the functions of information metabolism. ''Socionics, Mentology, and Personality Psychology'', 2. International Institute of Socionics.</ref> He defined the first dimension as the personal experience (Ex), the second dimension as social norms (Nr), the third dimension as the current situation (St), and the fourth dimension as the globality, or time perspective (Tm). This concept is useful because it best illustrates the difference in cognitive power (imagine measuring capability of 2D v. 3D measuring tool) and roughly describes abilities of each function to process and generate information. Still, definitions of dimensions require further research and clarification. For example, the vulnerable function tends to lose knowledge which have not been used.

== Criticism ==

Psychophysiologist Sergey Bogomaz says there is no reason for considering socionics as a separate science. He considers socionic typology to be a Russian version of post-Jung typology, similar to the Myers-Briggs typology, but distinguished by a greater number of typological features and the formulation of prerequisites for the study of intertype relationships.

In psychology and sociology, socionics is a pseudoscientific theory of information processing and personality types. It incorporates Carl Jung's work on Psychological Types with Antoni Kępiński's theory of information metabolism.

In contrast to the generally accepted views in personality psychology on age-related variability of the human psyche, socionics distinguishes 16 psychophysiological types (sociotypes) which it claims go unchanged throughout a person's life. The existence of personality types is extremely controversial in modern personality psychology.

Socionics was developed in the 1970s and 1980s, primarily by the Lithuanian researcher Aušra Augustinavičiūtė. The name "socionics" is derived from the word "society", because Augustinavičiūtė believed that each sociotype has a distinct purpose in society.

The central idea of socionics is that information is intuitively divisible into eight categories, called information elements, which a person's psyche processes using eight psychological functions. Each sociotype has a different correspondence between functions and information elements, which it posits results in different ways of handling information and distinct thinking patterns. One prevalent idea in socionics is the theory of intertype relations, which is based on the interaction of these functions between types.

Independent authors point to the insufficient empirical validity of socionics both in its basis and in its further development, as well as the practical absence of studies on socionics outside the former USSR. The Commission on Pseudoscience of the Russian Academy of Sciences has placed socionics among such well-known pseudosciences as astrology and homeopathy.

Purpose

Socionics provides a means of predicting the character of relations and degree of business compatibility, information sharing and psychological compatibility of people before their joining in one collective group, i.e. to solve the "inverse task" of sociometry.

According to Aleksandr Bukalov and Betty Lou Leaver, socionics uses Jungian typology, informational model of psyche, and theory of information metabolism for political and sociological analysis.

According to G. Fink and B. Mayrhofer, socionics is considered one of the four most popular models of personality (including cybernetic theory Maruyama, five-factor model, "Big Five" and the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator aka MBTI), deserving special attention because of its importance in the study of personality.

According to J. Horwood, and A. Maw, socionics is a science developed by Augustinavičiūtė in the 1970s. Augustinavičiūtė and her colleagues worked with Carl Jung's personality typologies to develop personality-based relationship profiles. It was found that the nature and development of interpersonal relationships (both professional and personal) are far from random. Instead, they are based on how well suited each individual's psychological profiles are to one another, allowing Augustinavičiūtė to develop 16 'socionic types' predicting and describing the interpersonal relationships between any combination of Jung's personality types.

According to R. Blutner and E. Hochnadel, "socionics is not so much a theory of personalities per se, but much more a theory of type relations providing an analysis of the relationships that arise as a consequence of the interaction of people with different personalities."

Philosopher L. Monastyrsky treats socionics as pre-science. At the same time, L. Monastyrsky himself proposes to pay attention to "the concept of socionic type".

Philosopher E. Pletuhina defines socionics as the study about the information interaction of the human psyche with the outside world, between people. She also defines it as the doctrine of psychological types of people and the relationships between them, as well as notes that the particular quality of socionics is that it considers the innate qualities of the human psyche, including the personality type, which cannot be arbitrarily changed without prejudice to the mental and physical health.

History

The neutrality of this section is disputed. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until conditions to do so are met. (December 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this message)

The basic structure of socionics was established in the 1960s and 1970s by Augustinavičiūtė, along with a group of enthusiasts who met in Vilnius, Lithuania. What resulted from their discussions and Augustinavičiūtė's personal investigations was an information model of the psyche and of interpersonal interaction based on Jung's typology but with eight psychic functions rather than four. Augustinavičiūtė's first works on socionics were published between 1978 and 1980.

Relation to the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator

Main article: Myers–Briggs Type Indicator

According to Betty Lou Leaver, Madeline Ehrman, and Boris Shekhtman, like the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), socionics is a sixteen-type derivative of Jung's work. Unlike MBTI, which is widely criticized for the lack of validity and utility, the socionics model strives to stay very close to the original descriptions and type labels suggested by Carl Jung. According to Betty Lou Leaver, "today's concepts of personality emanate most frequently from the work of Carl Jung, whose theories and research have blossomed into a juncture of philosophical and sociological inquiry. This field of inquiry has been called socionics."

According to Sergei Moshenkov and Tung Tang Wing, "MBTI and Socionics are contemporary sister sciences that categorize and describe human personality types in accordance to the predominance of certain mental faculties called psychic functions by Dr. Carl Jung."

A. Shmelev in his review of the book "MBTI: type definition" by I. Myers-Briggs and P. Myers notes the highest popularity of socionic books in Russian and remarks that their authors are appealing to the literary and artistic associations of the mass reader, in contradistinction to books on MBTI, which contain the empirical and statistical data on the types distribution in professional groups. S.A. Bogomaz considers the socionic typology as a version of post-Jung typology and believes that on a number of criteria it is more perspective than MBTI for the study of the differences between people, because it expands the volume of the typological features and offers an opportunity to form various typological groups with different motivations, attitudes, temperament, perception of information and thinking styles. It is also important the existence of preconditions to study intertype relations, that are substantially not developed within MBTI. S.A. Bogomaz thinks that the creation of the theory of intertype relationships is undoubtedly contribution of Augustinavičiūtė to the development of Jung typologies.

Socionics as an academic discipline

Through the work of the International Institute of Socionics and other schools of socionics, there are four scientific peer-reviewed journals (on the practical application of the methods of socionics in management, consulting, psychology, pedagogy, education, psychotherapy, and humanities) and an annual International conference on socionics. The Institute gives "popularization and proliferation of socionic knowledge" as one of its goals.

Svetlana V. Ivanova notes that socionics is taught in more than 150 universities in Russia, Ukraine and other CIS and European Union countries. Some universities in Russia (including Altai State Technical University, Bashkir State University, Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University, and Saint Petersburg State University) Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Romania, have published or commissioned a number of textbooks and monographs on socionics, or on psychology, pedagogy and management, which socionics and its methods are devoted to specific topics.

Areas of research include educational socionics, sociological socionics, aviation socionics, library socionics, technical socionics, linguistic socionics, penitentiary socionics, and socionics in other subject areas.

Socionics is used in education, not only as a tool for teachers to manage the learning process, but also as a basis for the development and improvement of education and training. Bogdanova claim that a teacher holding socionic knowledge and technologies can consciously collaborate with others and improve professional efficiency. Targeted use of intertype relations helps intensify the didactic process, increase the motivation of students. Socionics is also used to assess the individual psychological and personal qualities to forecast the success of employee career.

Izmailova and Kiseleva found socionics interesting to be applied in advertising and marketing, because it allows you to explain the reasons for the behavior of consumers.

Socionics is a tool for the study of personality and creativity of the writer, the typology of the characters in his works. The method of linguistic-socionic modeling proposed by L. M. Komissarova, used for analysis of individual lexicon of language personality. A translation of socionic characteristics in verbal ones is called the "method of linguistic-socionic modeling" and widely used.

Socionic methods have been proposed for the modeling of information processes in the "human-machine" systems, and practically used to model systems "aircraft operator" in pilots' training, and other similar areas.

Due to the variety of applications of socionics, its concepts and information models, in the 1990s, Bukalov proposed to distinguish socionics of personality, or differential socionics, and generalized, more abstract integral socionics. Bukalov believes that the concept of information metabolism, cybernetic modeling and general systems theory extends beyond of psychology and sociology, and consider the relationship of technical information devices, and the types of information human interactions as operator with various technical and electronic management systems of major industries, including chemical, nuclear power stations, complex computer complexes with adaptive tunable to a specific operator interfaces.

Propagation of socionics

International Institute of Socionics lists a number of academic publications on socionics in English in peer-reviewed journals. Since 2000 socionics as a scientific discipline and a field of research has been recognized in Russia and Ukraine.

Pedagogical socionics

The concepts and methods of socionics are widely used in pedagogy, this collaboration creates a new scientific branch – pedagogical socionics.

Pletuhina noted that the parent, trainer or teacher, who knows the theory of socionics, who also understands an idea of the "image of a socionics type" and who can determine the child's personality type with a sufficient degree of probability can use those opportunities of the individual approaches that socionics provides to raise and educate a child.

The role that socionics takes in the educational process is not limited to being a teacher's tool for the managing process. It is also a base for development and improving the educational system and for preparing staff. Teachers armed with socionics technology can consciously establish relationships with other people and increase efficiency of their pedagogical skills. Rational implementation of intertype relationships can push educational process to become more intensive and increase students' motivation.

Socionics is also researched practical methods and techniques dedicated to evaluation person's individual psychological values to prognoses professional success. Keneva, Marchenko, and Minaev argue that socionics might become a theoretical base for personal-oriented educational technologies.

Socionics in astronautics

In Star City conducted number of science seminars based on socionics methods and person typology to training space crews. Forming space crews by socionics methods was a central topic at the International conference on space researches, at the Space Forum 2011 and at the conference "Piloted flights into Space".

Aviation socionics

According to order of the Ministry of transport of Russian Federation Flight Standards Department approved a default application "Training of pilots in the field of human factor", which expects basic socionics knowledge not only among pilots and other crew members, but also prognosing interaction in air crews by socionics methods.

To improve interaction among crew members, specialists of Saint Petersburg University examined 2330 people by socionics methods, including university students; aircrews of airlines; air traffic controllers; professors from almost all flight academies of Russia; delegates from Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, and Estonia.

This database represents result of 10 years of scientific work. In their research, authors are relying on fundamental works of the Kyiv School of Socionics, International Institute of Socionics, publications in journals "Socionics, mentology and personal psychology", "Management and personnel: management psychology, socionics and sociology".

According to the experimental results were obtained socionics and sociometric data of air traffic controllers and correlation analyses of its parameters, also was determined the connection's intensity between person's interaction levels. The practical values of this research is to develop automated module to determine individual characteristic of operators and to evaluate the effectiveness of socionics in the management of air traffic, particular in special cases of flight

Jung's psychological types

Main article: Psychological Types

Carl Jung describes four psychological functions that are capable of becoming applicable psychically, but to differing degrees in individuals:

  • Sensation – all perceptions by means of the sense organs
  • Intuition – perception by way of the unconscious, or perception of unconscious events
  • Thinking (in socionics, Logic) – judgement of information based on reason
  • Feeling (in socionics, Ethics) – judgement of information based on sentiment

In addition to these four types, Jung defines a polarity between introverted and extraverted personalities. This distinction is based on how people invest energy: either into the inner, subjective, psychical world (usually called Seele, soul, by Jung), or toward their outer, objective, physical world (including one's body).

By Jung's rules, 16 psychological types exist. But in his book "Psychological Types" he described in detail only 8, distinguished by the 8 possible dominant functions. Contrary to Socionics and MBTI, Jung did not conclude that the types had two introverted functions and two extroverted functions. He instead outlined that extroverted personality types had a Dominant extroverted function, with the remaining functions being of varying if lower levels of development that range from being Inferior introverted functions that are necessarily retarded to auxiliary functions that lie in the middle.

Information metabolism elements (often confused with memetics)

In socionics, Jung's cognitive functions are always either introverted (focused on refining quality) or extroverted (focused on increasing quantity), and are referred to as information metabolism elements (IM Elements). These are said to process information aspects. To understand what an information aspect is, it is necessary to understand information metabolism as Augustinavičiūtė understood it.

Augustinavičiūtė states that the human mind uses eight elements of information metabolism (mental functions) to perceive the world, and each of these eight elements reflect one particular aspect of objective reality. In her works she describes aspects of the world based on physical quantities such as potential and kinetic energy, space, time, and their properties.

Often, other socionists have equated these information elements with their definition and according to fundamental physical concepts as well (Matter-Time-Energy-Space).). Matter is compared to Thinking, Energy to Feeling, Space to Sensing, and Time to Intuition. Given the division of aspects of the absolute between Extroverted ("black") and Introverted ("white"), being four times two, their number is eight.

The 8 socionics symbols ( ) were introduced by Augustinavičiūtė while working with Jung's typology and remain the dominant method of denoting the functions and the corresponding information aspects that they process. Text-based notation systems are also used, such as Victor Gulenko's 8 Latin letters ('P' for Pragmatism, 'E' for Emotions, 'F' for Force, 'I' for Ideas, 'L' for Laws, 'R' for Relation, 'S' for Senses, and 'T' for Time, respectively), or Myers-Briggs notation (Te, Fe, Se, Ne, Ti, Fi, Si, and Ni, respectively).

Element Abstracted definition Gulenko Name Symbol Description
Extroverted Logic External dynamics of objects Pragmatism(P) Judgement of the efficiency of actions and technical processes, the prudence of a method or approach and how it will work practically. P is geared towards facts and assesses situations based on what happened, looking to convey information as accurately as possible, making communication dry and matter-of-fact. In this sense, it is the opposite of Emotions. P approaches systems in terms of how they can be improved, changing and adding to one's knowledge through empirical observation in order to increase functionality and profitability. In this sense, it is the inverse of Laws.
Extroverted Ethics Internal dynamics of objects Emotions(E) Judgement of the infectiousness of expressions and emotional states, the appeal of a message or image and how someone will react emotionally. E is geared towards feelings and assesses situations based on how people feel, looking to convey one's emotions as authentically as possible, making communication exaggerated and charged with passion. In this sense, E is the opposite of Pragmatism. E approaches people in terms of how they are made to feel, provoking and changing people's emotions through expressive actions in order to raise excitement and enthusiasm. In this sense, is the inverse of Relations.
Extroverted Sensation External statics of objects Force(F) Perception of physical objects and the amount of space they take up in the real world, the impact something has on its environment and the threat it poses to other objects. F is geared towards action and decides immediately on quick assessments of superficial, concrete data, making the approach direct and imbued with a harsh determination. In this sense, it is the opposite of Ideas. F approaches reality in terms of the clash of opposing forces, winning over weaker opponents and looking to push a situation to their advantage, even if that requires an intense struggle. In this sense, it is the inverse of Senses.
Extroverted Intuition Internal statics of objects Ideas(I) Perception of abstract concepts and the amount of potential they could hold, the multiple alternatives to any proposition and their latent capabilities. I is geared towards speculation and likes to consider different possibilities, giving unorthodox perspectives a chance, making the approach indirect and roundabout in a whimsical way. In this sense, it is the opposite of Force. I approaches what is possible in terms of expanding its variety, opening new doors and wandering wherever curiosity points next, avoiding any kind of limitation. In this sense, it is the inverse of Time.
Introverted Logic External statics of fields Laws(L) Responsible for understanding logic and structure, categorizations, ordering and priorities, logical analysis and distinctions, logical explanations. L interprets information according to how it fits into a validating system. L is particularly aware of logical consistency and how concepts relate to each other in meaning and structure, independently of particular purposes.
Introverted Ethics Internal statics of fields Relations(R) Responsible for understanding the quality, nature, and appropriate distance of personal relations; makes subjective judgments; and aspires to goodness of character. R has a strong understanding of a person's nature and intentions, one person's feelings towards another, their attitudes of like or dislike, and based on this information, how intimate or distant a relationship should be.
Introverted Sensation External dynamics of fields Senses(S) Responsible for detailed perception of physical sensations; questions of comfort, utility, and pleasure; and a sense of harmony and acclimation with one's environment (especially physical). S understands how well a person or thing's behavior agrees with its nature as well as the differences between comfortable behaviors and positions and uncomfortable ones.
Introverted Intuition Internal dynamics of fields Time(T) Responsible for the imagination of how things will develop over time, a sense of what is meaningful or transcendent and the understanding that some things are inevitable. T understands how causes in the past lead through to outcomes in the future. T is acutely aware of long-term trends and tendencies that are occurring across any single present moment, and sees events as part of a continuous flow. T perceives the possible ramifications of future events and notices ties to the past.

The 16 types

Augustinavičiūtė usually used names like sensory-logical introvert (SLI) to refer to the types. In SLI the leading function is introverted sensation and the creative function is extraverted logic. She also introduced the practice of referring to types by the name of a famous person of the type (although types of these persons are not universally agreed upon, with the old name Napoleon for the SEE being replaced by Caesar after being deemed an inaccurate type assignment). For example, she called the SLI Gabin and the SEI Dumas. Also sometimes names such as Craftsman or Mediator are used to express the social role of the type—a convention introduced by socionist Viktor Gulenko in 1995. Given the formal similarities present between Socionics and the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) abbreviations frequently used in English, some prefer to distinguish socionic type names from Myers–Briggs' names by writing the last letter (J or P) in lower case (for example, ENTp, ESFj)—a practice introduced by Sergei Ganin. This is because the relationship between socionics and Myers–Briggs and Keirseyan types is controversial.

Dmitri Lytov and Marianna Lytova state that "main spheres of application of socionics are almost the same as for the Myers–Briggs Type Theory", and that observed differences in correlation "represent characteristic stereotypes of the socionics and the Keirsey typology. Others state that MBTI and socionics "correlate in roughly 30% of cases," and that "there are many subtle differences". J and P in Socionics and Myers–Briggs are completely different: in Myers–Briggs, J and P stands for the first extraverted function (J—extraverted thinking or feeling, P—extraverted sensing or intuition); in Socionics, J and P stands for the first function (J—rational (thinking and feeling), P—irrational (sensing and intuition)). This formal conversion is carried out in accordance with the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator.

In dividing the socion according to the four Jungian dichotomies, from this is formed 16 socionic types. The following tables provide a list of types with the names most commonly used in socionics:

The second concept is the functional dimensions. It was introduced by Aleksandr Bukalov. He defined the first dimension as the personal experience (Ex), the second dimension as social norms (Nr), the third dimension as the current situation (St), and the fourth dimension as the globality, or time perspective (Tm). This concept is useful because it best illustrates the difference in cognitive power (imagine measuring capability of 2D v. 3D measuring tool) and roughly describes abilities of each function to process and generate information. Still, definitions of dimensions require further research and clarification. For example, the vulnerable function tends to lose knowledge which have not been used.

Criticism

Psychophysiologist Sergey Bogomaz says there is no reason for considering socionics as a separate science. He considers socionic typology to be a Russian version of post-Jung typology, similar to the Myers-Briggs typology, but distinguished by a greater number of typological features and the formulation of prerequisites for the study of intertype relationships. Bogomaz considers the construction of the theory of intertype relationships to be an undoubted contribution of Augustinavičiūtė to the development of Jung typology, but criticized it by stating that there is little experimental data in socionics, there is no empirical verification of many claims, and by having many unsystematic pseudoscientific publications.

Philosopher L. M. Monastirsky identified the use of speculative categories as the first shortcoming of socionics. Secondly, he stated that it lacks clearly defined typing method and each socionics school defines methods of their own. At the same time Monastirsky, recognizing the potential of socionics, proposed to turn to the concept of a socionic type for carrying out some research in the field of the methodology of science.

An important issue in the field of socionics is the problem of convergence between type diagnoses of different analysts. Vladimir Ermak showed that ignorance of model A of the type of information metabolism leads to numerous mistakes in the definition of a socionic type. In the early 2000s, socionic analysts tried to develop more rigorous approaches to type diagnosis.

Socionics was developed in the 1970s and 1980s mainly by the Lithuanian researcher Aušra Augustinavičiūtė. The name 'socionics' is derived from the word 'society, since Augustinavicˇiute believed that each personality type has a distinct purpose in society, which can be described and explained by socionics. The system of socionics is in several respects similar to the MBTI; however, whereas the latter is dominantly used in the USA and Western Europe, the former is mainly used in Russia and Eastern Europe. For more information, the reader is referred to the website of the International Institute of Socionics and to several scientific journals edited by this institution<http://socionic.info/en/esocjur.html#top>. Despite several similarities there are also important differences. For instance, the MBTI is based on questionnaires with so-called forced-choice questions. Forced choice means that the individual has to choose only one of two possible answers to each question. Obviously, such tests are self-referential. That means they are based on judgments of persons about themselves. Socionics rejects the use of such questionnaires and is based on interviews and direct observation of certain aspects of human behavior instead. However, if personality tests are well constructed and their questions are answered properly, we expect results that often make sense. For that reason, we do not reject test questions principally, but we have to take into account their self-referential character. Another difference relates to the fact that socionics tries to understand Jung's intuitive system and to provide a deeper explanation for it, mainly in terms of informational metabolism (Kepinski & PZWL, 1972). Further, socionics is not so much a theory of personalities per se, but much more a theory of type relations providing an analysis of the relationships that arise as a consequence of the interaction of people with different personalities.

Let's notice that the relation of psychologists to socionics is ambiguous. As it is noted by A.V. Bukalov and O.B. Karpenko, wide circulation of socionics as scientific direction is confirmed by that for the last 15 years socionics ideas and methods are used approximately in 800 theses according to all sections of the humanities and in a number of technical sciences. Now socionics is taught in more than 150 universities of Russia, Ukraine, the CIS countries and countries of the European Union.
