Interpersonal compatibility: types of relationships in socionics and personality psychology

There are different relationships between different socionic types. Since there are 16 sociotypes, then, accordingly, there should be 16 types of relationships between them. However, in fact, there are 14 types of relationships, just in two of them there are two different roles, of which a person can perform only one.

• Business relationship
• Dual Relationships, or Complete Complement
• Mirror relationships
• Conflict relationships
• Mirage relationships
• Activation Relationships
• Quasi-identity relations
• A relationship of complete opposites
• Half-complement relations
• Audit relationships (auditor and auditee)
• Social order relationships (customer and receiver)
• Superego relationships
• Family relationships
• Identical relations

How is a person’s sociotype determined?

There are tests for this (take it and find out who you are), but some people can determine their sociotype, given certain experience, by their appearance, as well as their manner of communicating, dressing, and reacting to the situation.

Pass the test quickly, but not very reliably. As a rule, online tests ask several questions, after which they determine whether you are, for example, an intuitive-logical introvert or whether your type is a logical-sensory introvert.

Having learned to identify 16 personality types of the people around you, you can understand what dictates their actions, what are the behavioral differences, and why their abilities, interests and habits differ.

Typing by appearance is the most controversial option in socionics. There are supporters and opponents of this method. Signs may either not be visible, or formal signs may simply be absent.

Another method is self-typing, when you yourself try to determine from descriptions whether you are an intuitive-ethical introvert, for example, or a logical-intuitive introvert, etc. Some people believe that it is impossible to determine your sociotype. However, this is not entirely true.

It is quite possible to determine who you are, for example, an intuitive-ethical introvert or a logical-sensory introvert, etc. But before you define, you should begin to adequately perceive yourself, approach each trait of your character, not as bad, good, harmful or positive, but useful from the point of view of socionics. And, of course, it is necessary to understand in detail the typology of science according to Jung.

Mirror relationships

It's difficult for two. Both constantly strive to teach and change each other. The appearance of the 3rd member of the quadra, who is the dual of one of them and the activator of the second, makes this collective very pleasant. It’s better to communicate not one on one, but with other members of your quadra, then everything will be fine. In these relationships, the partners are quite similar - they are both ethical or logical, sensory or intuitive, but one is an extrovert and the other is an introvert. They also differ on the “rationality – irrationality” scale. With such interaction, there is an active exchange of information on strong functions. What one speaks or thinks about, the other implements without further ado. They have a lot to learn from each other, although sometimes this leads to the temptation to lecture their partner. Conflicts are unlikely here.

Mirror relationships are interesting for communication and joint activities; partners have common values ​​and often interests; Constructive criticism is possible. The strengths and weaknesses are largely the same. From the point of view of model A, the program function intersects with the creative function of the “mirror”, the role function with the pain function, the suggestive function with the activation function, and the observation function with the demonstrative function.

Areas of application and benefits of the science of sociotypes

Generally speaking, a sociotype is, in some way, the internal horoscope of each of us. Is it worth knowing your horoscope, how to apply this knowledge in life - it’s up to you to decide.

Whether you are a logical-sensory introvert or an intuitive-logical introvert or a completely different type - it matters, essentially, only when you know how to use and apply this knowledge in a practical aspect. People tend to categorize and define everything, that's our nature.

The application of typing concepts is widely used in practice in personnel management. Here they help during personnel selection, for the formation of a cohesive team and for more efficient functioning of management in the company.

Another area of ​​application of socionics is organizing dating. There are entire dating services where dating is based on socionic typing. Also, with the help of socionic methods and practices, groups are selected to organize training, for education and training.

Knowledge in the field of socionics gives a significant advantage. It involves working with innate personality structures. The approach allows us to understand people’s behavior, predict their reactions, and reveal the characteristics of relationships with parents and children.

Half-complement relations

Half complement - good relationship. However, a sudden loss of mutual understanding out of the blue is possible. But they make up quickly and easily. When people get to know each other, make plans, agree on business, everything goes great, no worse than with duals. But when they begin to implement their plans, it turns out that both have the same area where both are not strong - therefore, they cannot effectively help each other. Since there is no full compensation, there may be some disappointment when getting close enough.

Incomplete complement relations. There is mutual interest in communication, but serious problems are possible when trying to get closer. From the point of view of model A, the program function of one partner falls on the suggestive function of the other (which causes mutual interest), the creative function of one partner intersects with the demonstrative function of the other partner, the role function intersects with the observational function, and the pain function intersects with the activation function (which causes some dissatisfaction with the partner) .

History of the creation of the socionic test

Work on the creation of this socionic test lasted from 1997 to 2001. At that time, I worked as a computer science teacher at one of the Kyiv institutes and had the opportunity to attract a fairly large number of people to participate in the study - 420 people (21 groups with an average of 20 people each). 99% of them were not familiar with socionics, thanks to which the result can be considered objective.

At the first lesson, I gave students to fill out socionic tests and subsequently, by communicating and observing them throughout the course of study, I identified the compliance or inconsistency of the subjects’ behavior with the test results.

At the initial stage of the study, the test takers were asked to fill out various socionic tests. Later it was concluded that tests where you are required to choose one word from a pair give more accurate results than questionnaire tests, since, for example, to the question “Do you have strong logical and analytical thinking?”, the majority of respondents, regardless of TIM, answered a positive response.

The most accurate socionic test was A.V. Molodtsov’s test (36 pairs of words, 9 pairs for each dichotomy). But it also gave a significant error. In addition, when, for example, on the “ethics-logic” scale, the test taker chose 5 options characteristic of an ethicist and 4 for a logician, the result looked unconvincing.

To obtain a more accurate result, it was first decided to increase the number of words to 21 pairs for each dichotomy. However, this did not affect the result in any way: the proportion of answers “11/10” in the new test was the same as “5/4” in the previously used Molodtsov test.

As a solution, it was decided to select test forms completed by students whose test results were confirmed upon further observation, and, based on their choice of a particular word in each pair, calculate the relevance of the words.

The relevance value of each word ranged from 0.94 to 0.57. The final version of the test included the 7 most relevant word pairs for each dichotomy. This increased the accuracy of the test not only due to the greater total relevance of words, but also by reducing testing time, because When completing a large test, the subject gets tired, which reduces the accuracy of the result.

The results of using this test allowed us to draw the following conclusions:

• In 70% of cases, the test results and the results of subsequent typing completely coincided.
• In 5% of cases it was clearly evident that the test result was erroneous.
• In the remaining 25% of cases, the subjects showed signs of type distortion, as a result of which it was impossible to confirm or refute the test result with complete confidence.
• When a person who knows socionics fills out the test, the testing turns out to be biased, since he, if not consciously, then subconsciously tries to predict the result.
• A person who does not know socionics, carefully and objectively fills out the test, gets the correct result in 70% of cases.
• If a person's type is distorted, the likelihood of obtaining an accurate test result is greatly reduced.
• Only an experienced socionic expert can accurately determine the socionic type.

Not what it seems

sensory is responsible for sex and everything connected with it . Depending on which of them - black or white - is valuable for the team, two psychosexual pairs are distinguished: victim-aggressor and infantile-caring .

Let me make a reservation right away: both “victim” and “infantile” are just socionic terms. Don't forget about this! Here's a fresh first-hand story: a typist told a man that he was allegedly a victim. There was no limit to his indignation. “What are you talking about! I'm not a victim! - the man barked and, to prove this, he tried to slam the typewriter’s face into the nearest doorframe. So, as they say, nothing personal - simple terminology.

Using socionic tests, questionnaires and interviews

The test is one of the first methods used in socionics to determine a person’s psychotype. The task of the first socionic tests was to determine the four main dichotomies from the answers to just 4 questions - the Ovcharov-Megdel test. Subsequently, the structure of the tests changed, taking a tree-like form, and increased from 4 to 70 questions. The most famous Talanov test today is much more complex and takes into account most of the parameters known to socionics.

Such complex tests are called socionic questionnaires. The weak point of this method is considered to be the reliability of the results obtained. Numerous studies on this topic have shown that the accuracy of determining the socionic type based on a single attribute reached 80%. However, the overall reliability for a combination of properties did not exceed a rather unconvincing 36%. Experts believe that the main reason for such indicators is the inadequacy of the test taker’s self-esteem.

A socionic interview is conducted by one person or a group of specialists. During the interview, a number of questions are asked, the answers to which reveal the presence of qualities of a particular psychotype. In addition, the behavior and reaction to the questions of the person being interviewed is analyzed. A comprehensive analysis of the established characteristics allows us to establish with a high degree of accuracy the socionic type of a person, the weak and strong traits of his character, and give reasonable recommendations for solving a particular life problem.

Quasi-identity relations

There are no quarrels, but many arguments that are never fruitful. It is impossible to prove anything to each other. They talk about the same things, are interested in the same things, but from completely different points of view.

© 1986 Vaisband I. D. “Working material on socionics.”

Relations of peaceful coexistence with coincidence of strengths and weaknesses and divergence of values ​​and interests. From the point of view of model A, the program function of one “quasi-person” corresponds to the demonstrative function of another, creative - observational, role - activation, pain - suggestive.

Personality type compatibility

The compatibility table will show a complete picture of the relationships between sociotypes.

Determining the compatibility of sociotypes

Explanation of the abbreviation:

• D – relationships are built on a harmonious complement;
• PD – semicomplement;
• A – activity of partners;

Harmony in relationships

Bad.

Conflict relationships (-K) are the most dangerous and unpleasant. These partners differ in all four functions. There is constant tension in relationships; everything about each other causes rejection, protest, and irritation. Each of the two partners believes that the other is acting out of spite. Even in cases where the relationship is outwardly normal, an explosion can unexpectedly occur. Such partners work best at a distance, avoiding “sharp corners.”

Social control is a deceptive and dangerous relationship. One of the partners is a controller (sometimes, they say, an auditor), the second is controlled (audited). The controller is constantly dissatisfied with his subject, and to him the controller seems petty picky. They are reminiscent of the “parent-child” relationship, in which the child always seems inept, inexperienced, and in need of care to the parent. Normal in a family (when children are small), such business relationships between adult colleagues often lead to conflicts from which both parties suffer.

The controller (K) constantly checks the person under control, points out his shortcomings and thereby constantly “puts pressure” on the partner.

The person under control (k) constantly tries to get out of control, protests, sometimes even rebels.

Social order - in such a relationship, one of the partners is the customer, the other is the sub-order.

The customer seems interesting to the partner, sometimes unattainable, but the customer understands his problems and human weaknesses. The customer is always in the position of the customer's debtor. Therefore, the subordinate often has a desire to separate himself, so as not to do what is required of him. The relationship is softer than the relationship of a social controller, but still bad; psychological pressure is also present here.

The customer (3) plays the role of a creditor, a “rich uncle,” kind but demanding.

The client (h) gets the role of a debtor, largely dependent on the whims of the “rich uncle”.

Table 10 shows all intertype relationships in Russian and international designations, and then Table 11 gives a complete set of relationships between all types.

Table 11 should be used as follows: “he - to me”, for example, Huxley (he) - Robespierre (to me) - to (controlled). Or Zhukov (he) - Robespierre (to me) - K (controller),

Modern psychological theory

A person’s desire to be fulfilled in various types of activities is considered the main criterion of his life. Attempts to establish and define the basic laws of human interaction have been made since ancient times and continue to develop at the present time. Based on Freud's theory "On the structure of the psyche", Jung created a gradation of personality types.

His concept served as a typology of personality called “socionics” - the doctrine of the interaction between a person and the outside world based on:

• analysis using computer science;
• sociology;
• psychology.

It has become widely used in diagnostics and psychological consultations to determine personality type.

Eternal “wants”

Because someone cannot satisfy them, a person’s needs do not change and do not stop being transmitted to the outside world. The victim lacks black sensory - through it he feels support in life, reliability and protection, and ultimately feels alive. It sends the request externally. It just so happens that this looks like pure provocation, as if he, the victim, is “running into trouble.” But what he gets, as you might guess, is not always what he unconsciously hoped for.

Not long ago I had the opportunity to meet a young male victim. What distinguished him from others was his unbridled, simply tireless desire to argue with everyone around him, be it colleagues or friends, or even a salesman in a store.

“I don’t know how this happens. “I just like to argue,” he once admitted. — I like to provoke a response from people. To see what they can do." Moreover, the usual reaction such as a reasoned answer does not suit him. Give him an emotional whirlwind.

The less the partner satisfies the needs of our children's unit, the more those around us “suffer” from this. Having not received a response at close range, we send the request further.

The victim's request is similar to a provocation. The more “hungry” he is, the more desperate she seems. But the “hungry” aggressor , on the contrary, is ready to see provocation even where there is none, and at the same time try to prove to everyone that he is in charge here. And in general, that he is a man of amazing strength, moral and physical.

It is worth noting that not every aggressive person in the worst sense of the word, who prefers to solve any problems with his fists, is the same socionic aggressor in question. It’s very easy to recognize “ours.” Since aggressors are strong black sensors, it often seems to others that they literally exude strength, and sometimes danger. They say about such people: “he has heavy energy” or “heavy eyes”, and sometimes even “heavy hand”.

Socionics rating

Caring and infantile: the game of “mother-daughter”

Caring and infantile people are the owners of white value sensory . They are distinguished by softness, leisurely sensuality and attention to the shades of a wide variety of sensations. Their interaction is soft touches, muffled sounds, deep halftones. Those with a strong white sensory often express affection with warm hugs, tender kisses, or handmade gifts such as a baked cupcake or a knitted scarf.

I'll tell you another story that I know first hand. My friend, the one who suffers from a “soft and gentle man,” somehow decided to hit her chosen one in the very heart. She dressed herself in an incredibly sexy cat costume and went to impress her chosen one across the city.

It's late autumn. Apart from lace, a scarf, boots and an autumn coat, she is wearing absolutely nothing. She comes to her man. The door opens, the coat flies open... It was assumed that in this place he would be stupefied and die of passion. He will squeeze his cat in his arms and...

“But you’ll catch a cold like that!” - the chosen one exclaimed and almost dragged the cat into the apartment by the scruff of the neck. Drink hot tea and wrap in warm socks.

Need I say that both were indignant? She - because no one ever squeezed her in his arms. He - because how is that possible!

Audit relationships

One of the most dangerous types of relationships. People systematically hit each other where it hurts the most. Both suffer from social control - the person being audited (controlled) constantly suffers from the controller, but he himself cannot “get” him. But it’s not very good for the controller either - the person under control annoys him. The person under control feels extremely uncomfortable, the controller seems to him to be petty and meticulous, and precisely in those issues on which he would not like to focus the attention of others.

An asymmetrical relationship in which the auditor constantly, although unintentionally, points out to the sub-auditor his weak point, sometimes trying to re-educate him. From the point of view of model A, the program function of the auditor falls on the pain function of the supervisor (the cause of discomfort for the supervisor), creative - on program, role - on creative, pain - on role, suggestive - on demonstrative, activation - on suggestive, observation - on activation, demonstrative - to observational. Relationships are unfavorable for living together and family relationships (in some ways even more dangerous than conflict ones, which are mutually dangerous and force partners to maintain distance), however, a normal mode of existence is possible if partners do not consciously touch each other’s points of least resistance (pain functions).

Why is socionics needed?

The concept of socionics helps to better understand yourself and others, productively solve personal and professional problems, discover true talents and realize yourself in the right direction. Basic knowledge of personality prototypes also allows you to find common ground in controversial issues between family, friends, and strangers, and to accept your opponent’s worldview.

Interesting. If you correctly determine the sociotypes of people, it will not be difficult to predict their behavior in certain situations. Understanding the characteristics of sociotypes simplifies the selection of work teams. For individual tasks, it is worth selecting a candidate who can cope in the best possible way.

Family relationships

Lack of frankness. Partners seem selfish to each other, although in reality this is not always the case. Your partner is similar to you. Both partners perceive the world very similarly in some areas. Where business activity is concerned, these relationships can be quite fruitful if the partners have the same interests. But if their common interests diverge, the relationship can be harsh, unpleasant, and annoying.

© 1986 Vaisband I. D. “Working material on socionics.”

Complex relationships with similar life attitudes and opposing programs for their implementation. From the point of view of model A, the program, role, suggestive and activation functions of the partners coincide, the creative function of one partner falls into the pain function (which is annoying and can lead to conflicts), and the demonstrative function falls into the activation function. Relationships are unfavorable for family life.

Areas of use

Knowledge of the basics of socionics gives good returns in the following cases:

1. Staffing classes and study groups. A harmonious combination of the temperamental characteristics of the types contributes to a friendly working atmosphere and automatic resolution of discipline problems.
2. Subject-differentiated training in high school and university seminars, where the priority will be the “club”, discussion method of considering issues.
3. Individual approach to students to provide opportunities for self-realization.

Knowledge of the types of people in socionics simplifies management consultations for organizations and contributes to the creation of a stable team of broad-spectrum employees and target groups for the implementation of specific tasks. Sociologically competent staff formation saves people’s money, time and nerves.

The best sociotypes in business

Pseudoscience makes an invaluable contribution to self-development and harmonization of relationships in the family and society. Perception of oneself, possible scenarios for the development of relationships helps to identify hidden mechanisms of quarrels, misunderstandings, and prevents the likelihood of irreparable mistakes.

Mirage relationships

There is a lack of frankness; This relationship is boring. There are few conflicts, but there is a great lack of emotions and joy. They try to understand each other, but do not know how to guess the desires of the other. Good for relaxation; joint activities are not going well. In this case, it is easier for partners to maintain good relations in matters that are not too serious or somewhere on vacation together. One develops an attitude towards a partner as a lightweight, not too serious, although nice, sweet person with whom it is good to be in the same company, but not very tempting to enter into business contact with him. However, in family life, for those for whom the factor of psychological comfort dominates, these relationships can be quite favorable.

© 1986 Vaisband I. D. “Working material on socionics.”

The relationship is quite comfortable and pleasant, but does not satisfy the needs of the partners in everything, and contributes to relaxation and rest. From the point of view of model A, the program function of one partner falls on the observational function of the other (hence possible disagreements), the creative function - on the activation function (which gives warmth to the relationship), the role function - on the suggestive function (which generates dissatisfaction), the demonstrative function covers up the painful partner. The relationship is quite favorable for family life, but ineffective for joint activities.

Myers-Briggs typology and MBTI questionnaire

There is another psychological typology based on the types of Carl Gustav Jung. This is the Myers-Briggs typology, which appeared around the same time as socionics, on the other side of the world - in the USA, in the 1940s. The founders of this system are Katherine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. It also contains 16 psychological types, for the determination of which the MBTI test - Myiers-Briggs Tybe Indicator - was created.

Academic psychology is wary of this typology, not recognizing it as scientific. However, the MBTI test is widely used in business, in particular for career guidance purposes.

The problems of this test are the same as those of socionic typing: its validity and reliability. The instructions for the test indicate that its data cannot be considered accurate without subsequent consultation with a career guidance specialist. There are no statistical data that reliably confirm the consistency of results across different elections, as well as clear criteria for what exactly is being examined as a basis for assigning one type or another.

“A National Academy of Sciences panel analyzed data from more than 20 studies of the MBTI test and found that only the Introversion-Extroversion scale had sufficient validity.” The reliability of the test is also in great doubt - the researchers came to the conclusion that it can give different results each time.

Superego relationships

You are constantly haunted by the thought that your partner is doing everything on purpose to spite you. Fine as long as you both care about each other. If a quarrel does occur, this concern disappears and the conflict becomes unexpectedly “loud.” The interests of the partners are completely different, communication is difficult, they cannot rely on each other, and conflicts often arise.

© 1986 Vaisband I. D. “Working material on socionics.”

Relationships of mutual respect and sympathy, which, however, when moving to a close psychological distance, can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings. From the point of view of model A, the program function of one partner falls on the role function of the other (which is why the effect of admiration arises), and the creative function falls on the pain function (which irritates and can lead to conflicts), the observation function falls on the suggestive function, and the demonstration function falls on the activation function. The relationship is not suitable for living together and family relationships.

Compatibility of personality types in socionics

When you see a list of socionic types, the question naturally arises: how do these types (or, to be more precise, it would be more correct to say “people with these types”) interact with each other? How compatible is one personality type in socionics with others?

Compatibility in socionics is perhaps one of the most interesting subjects for research and practical application. Let me briefly note that, despite its popularity and theoretical attractiveness, the idea of ​​type compatibility in socionics is not so clearly implemented in practice:

• In business relationships, socionic laws of type compatibility work better
• While in personal relationships almost all socionic patterns undergo changes, and their independent predictive value decreases.

(A more detailed look at the problem of compatibility and options for its solution can be found in the article “Compatibility in Socionics.”)

I don’t promise detailed descriptions of the types in socionics, but I will definitely tell you about the highlights of each of the 16 personality types that I have repeatedly observed in practice.

Good ones.

Dual relationships (A) are the best in business contacts, as well as in family and any other relationships. The thoughts and actions of one of the duals are, as it were, a continuation of the thoughts and actions of the other, they mutually complement each other. These relationships are also called complement relationships, and such a pair is called a dyad. What one does poorly, the other does, takes the initiative, understands how he can help his partner, and without much difficulty. More importantly, the second in a dual couple perceives the help of the dual naturally, without tension and conflicts.

Activation relationships (A) - psychological types increase each other’s activity, quickly understand each other, the thought of one continues and develops the other, and vice versa. It's best when activators are busy with one thing. However, prolonged communication can tire them, and from time to time activators need to take a break from each other.

Identical relationships (T) - relationships with people of the same type. Looking at a partner like you, it’s as if you see yourself from the outside and can correct your behavior (“we are of the same blood - you and me”). Partners perceive the world in the same way, look at it with the same eyes, and act according to the same patterns. This kind of relationship is best demonstrated in the teacher-student relationship. True, over time, such partners may get bored of each other.

Mirror relationships (3) - partners correct each other all the time, point out mistakes to each other. Everyone sees, as it were, half the world, and from different sides. In a partner, everyone sees largely opposite traits - as if they see themselves in a mirror - the image is similar, but somehow unrecognizable. Such relationships are tiring, although the partners do many things well because they share responsibilities.

“Stirlitz”, “Dostoevsky”, “Huxley” and “Gaben”

This is the last four socionic types. “Stirlitz” are people who know how to act logically and intelligently. They are assertive and do not tolerate any delays. Also, “Stirlitz” is an ardent opponent of cunning, meanness and dishonest play, no matter what it concerns. The “Dostoevskys”, considered an ideal socionic couple for the “Stirlitz”, are the owners of a very sensitive and subtle mental organization. They never refuse and try to help everyone. And indeed, these people are capable of becoming a good couple for the “Stirlitz” - they will be able to teach them to be more emotional and softer in situations where it will not be possible to build a relationship without this.

“Huxley” are ardent enthusiasts. Emotional, active, love fun company and adventure. And everything can depend on their mood. “Gaben”, his dual, is a person restrained in emotions who will not work without any goal. He and “Huxley” really have a mutually beneficial relationship. One teaches the other to control emotions (when to be restrained and when not to do this), and the second pushes his partner to be active.

Aspects of information metabolism and socionic functions

Aspects of information metabolism

• - “black logic” (business logic) - assessment of feasibility, business qualities, the desire for efficiency and optimality, understanding of technological processes, the operation of mechanisms, organizational skills, the desire to collect complete and reliable information.
• - “white logic” (structural logic) - assessment of the consistency of information, analysis and systematization of information, assessment of cause-and-effect relationships, understanding of formal rules and objective patterns.
• - “black ethics” (ethics of emotions) - understanding the emotional state of a person, managing the mood of people and the emotional background in a group of people, expressing feelings and emotions.
• - “white ethics” (ethics of relationships) - assessment of interpersonal relationships, manipulation of relationships, understanding of the rules of behavior in society, moral assessment of people’s actions, desire for mercy and philanthropy, empathy.
• — “black intuition” (intuition of possibilities) — a multifaceted and holistic perception of the world, assessment of the potential qualities and capabilities of systems and phenomena, people’s abilities, assessment of prospects, vision of options, desire for innovation.
• - “white intuition” (intuition of time) - understanding the relationship of times, seeing trends in the development of events, forecasting abilities, assessing time expenditure, managing one’s own and others’ time, a sense of harmony and timeliness.
• - “black sensory” (power sensory) - perception of material objects and the surrounding space, assessment of the appearance of objects, assessment of physical strength, volitional qualities of people, their financial situation and weight in society, assessment of the balance of power, persistence, authority, disruptive qualities, desire to leadership and well-being.
• - “white sensory” (sensory of sensations) - perception of sensations from the senses, understanding of a person’s physical condition, assessment of the harmony of forms and positions, the desire for convenience, comfort and coziness, refined pleasures.

Black and white logic, black and white ethics are considered rational aspects, black and white intuition, black and white sensory are considered irrational aspects. Aspects marked in black are considered extroverted, while aspects marked in white are considered introverted.

In some sources, aspects of information metabolism are called socionic functions, but the use of this term in this context is unsuccessful, since confusion arises with the functions in Model A.

Aspects of the world

In some sources, aspects of the world are presented as the fundamental principles of aspects of information metabolism and socionic functions. An aspect of the world is considered to be a certain part of physical reality with which 8 functions interact. The division of reality into aspects is made on the basis of such fundamental concepts as Matter, Energy, Space, and Time, with logic corresponding to matter, ethics to energy, sensory to space, and intuition to time.

In addition, each element can be considered both on its own and in relation to another similar element; based on this, elements are divided into absolute (“black”) and relative (“white”). The absolute aspect is existing, considered, evaluated on its own, without connection or dependence on anything. Relative aspect - established in comparison, juxtaposition with another.

It should be noted that the idea of ​​“aspects of the world” as the fundamental principles of Jung’s functions is not shared by all socionics, and the terminology used in the descriptions of “aspects” causes criticism. In fact, ideas about aspects go beyond the realm of scientifically verifiable facts into the realm of philosophical concepts, in which the influence of Soviet “dialectical materialism” is noticeably felt.

Socionic functions

Mental function is an instrument of the psyche with which it interacts with reality. Socionic functions represent a person’s ability to perceive and process information on various information aspects. In total, there are 8 socionic functions, each limited to its own range of activities, interacts with a certain aspect of reality, perceives, processes and produces information related to one of the 8 aspects of information metabolism.
