World Socionics

In Part 1 , I covered the basics and in Part 2 , I showed how the basics come together into a Model for each personality type. In Part 3, I will show how these different types interact with each other in relationships and in communities of people. Inter-type Relations This refers to the pattern of functional interaction between two socionic types, that is to say the description of the  psychological compatibility between two types . There are fourteen of these relationships and among them twelve are called  symmetrical  and two  asymmetrical . Some of the inter-type relations are more  psychologically compatible (or favourable) than others. The different  relationships are listed below in order of most to least compatible ·         Duality :  Symmetric relation . They are perfectly fitted for each other as the suggestive and mobilising functions of one match the leading and creative functions of t...

In Part 1 , I covered the very basics of Socionics. In Part 2, I will show how these basics come together in a Model to explain personality type. Model A Model A , named “A” after Aušra Augustinavičiūtė herself, is the most prolific model in Socionics for the structuring of the eight IM Elements, sorting each of them into one of eight  functions  which have a particular effect on how we approach that kind of information. Each of the 16 types can be identified through its unique assignment of IMEs to functions in this model, showing how they vary in their strength and valuing of each kind of information metabolism. Model A is comprised of eight functions which each of the eight IM Elements are assigned to depending on your type. The function details how each type approaches its assigned IM Element, determining its level of strength, consciousness and whether it is valued or not. These are the  Leading  function,  Creative  function,  Rol...
