Justification of Socionics

In the 1960s - 1970s, Dr. Aušra Augustinavičiūtė, as a sociologist and psychologist, Head of the Department of Marriage and Family Vilnius Pedagogical University, developed a model that people in classes classifies and predict with the help of this classification, the relationship of different people to each other should. For their theory Aušra Augustinavičiūtė has the name " socionics " suggested since А.Augustinavičiūtė was convinced as a sociologist and psychologist that each personality type in the company fulfills a special function that can be described with the help of Socionics and explained. Using the theory of information exchange Antoni Kępiński, the principles of cybernetics and computer science to the typology of CG Jung, highlights the Socionics forth and describes certain types of information exchange between subjects depending on their characteristic personality types, which are also termed " type of information exchange " (TIM ) denotes, or " sozionischer type". From the theory of the mental functions of CG Jung, the Socionics leads an existence of 16 such types here, as a result of various combinations of eight mental functions that are considered " functions of information exchange ", each of which performs its own, separate, specific type of information and processed - as one of the eight aspects of the single stream of information that perceives the psyche ..

That was the birth of Socionics - a psychological model, which is the MBTI similar, but was developed independently. She herself describes in the model as ENTP ( extroverted intuitive - logical ).

Professors G.Fink and W.Mayrhofer ( Austria ) give the Socionics the first place among the four of them highlighted personality models, including the Cybernetic Mindscape Theory of Maruyama, the Five Factor Model (FFM ), often called "Big Five", and the Myers -Briggs typology, which deserve special attention due to its importance for the personality research ..

One should not mix the typology in the context of socionics and the typology of Myers -Briggs: they have significant differences in the description of structures of types, especially the introverts. In addition, the Socionics of the Myers -Briggs typology differs not only by an existing clear information model of the psyche, but also by a consistent model of empirically observed inter typical relationships ..
