Introduction to Socionics

Derived from Carl Jungs Psychological Type and Antoni Kepinski's Information Metabolism, Aushra Augustinavichute formed Socionics to explain and differentiate 16 personality types, their interactions in interpersonal relationships and within society as a whole.  

Socionics benefits individuals by helping them to determine relationships, potential careers and social atmosphere that would be most conducive to their natural aptitudes and abilities.

Within the larger social context, Socionics can serve as a guide to the most productive and constructive means of interaction between persons of different types within the framework of larger social constructs. 

In the more immediate personal level, Socionics illustrates that every individual of any personality type has particular aptitudes and abilities that not only benefit society as a whole but also connect, in near perfect harmony, with individuals of a different complimentary type. These individuals, known as duals, combine their strengths with those of their dual to produce a collective partnership equipped to deal with virtually any interpersonal or inter-social situation in a constructive and productive fashion. 

It is my belief that the correct application of Socionics personality study can point the way to a generalized increase in individual self awareness and interpersonal and inter-social harmony. This science possess broad ranging positive implications to improve human interaction in realms as diverse as romance, career and aptitude counseling, and even harmonious conducting of the American party political process; there are not two ideals against each other, but 16.

This site will serve as both a generalized introduction to Socionics and an in depth examination of the 16 Socionics personality types. My hope is that through the explication of these types (complete with illustrative examples from both my own hands on research and from the personality type manifestations of well known figures in politics and popular culture), this site will serve to guide readers in determining their own types, those of the individuals in their lives, and how to use this science to better their lives and the world around them.
