Socionics: the types of information metabolism.

Socionics is a psychological theory that offers typing of individuals in certain categories.It is based on the principles proposed by the Swedish psychiatrist CG Jung in his work "Psychological Types".He decided to consider the human being in the coordinate system "extroversion-introversion" and singled in the psyche of the four basic functions - thinking, feeling, feeling and intuition.On the basis of his typology of Lithuanian psychologist and sociologist Ausra Augustinavichiute in 1970.He developed a theoretical model, which he called "Model A" (conceptual provisions are presented in the works of "The dual nature of man," the 1978 "Theory intertype relations" 1981).

Socionics: the types of information metabolism (TIM)

According Augustinavichiute any person exists in the context of energy exchange with the environment and other individuals: sends, receives, processes and interprets the information flows in a certain way.This continuous process of interaction between the psyche of the individual the information was called "information metabolism".In this psychological concept called "Socionics" informational metabolism types are understood as the inherent structure of the mind that determines the way individuals exchange of energy with the environment.A certain type IB (otherwise - personality type) is inherent in every person from birth and does not change throughout his life.According to the theory, there are 16 types Augustinavichiute IB allocated to four opposite categories (dichotomies): logic and ethics;sensing and intuition;introversion and extroversion;rational and irrational - it is based on socionics.Types define the way in which individuals receive and process information, as well as their potential interaction with the environment, the strengths and weaknesses of the psyche.Socionics allows a person to better understand the features, the reasons for their behavior.

Socionics.Type IB

16 personality types are distributed in four Quadra - Power systems with a high degree of comfort, consisting of 4 sociotypes each.The quadra maintained a balance of temperaments.First squares ("alpha") has the highest educational potential and is intended for dissemination of new knowledge.This quadrupole include: intuitive-ethical and ethical-sensory extrovert, sensory-ethical and logical-intuitive introvert.Quadra second ("beta") is intended to introduce new ideas and projects of the organization.It includes the following sotsiotipy: logical-sensory and intuitive-ethical introvert, ethical-intuitive and sensory-logical extrovert.

third quadra ("Gamma"), the business and the dynamic, used for reorganization.It includes such TIMs: sensory-ethical and logical-sensory extrovert, intuitive, logical and ethical-sensory introvert.Fourth Quadra ("Delta") completes the "business" of the previous Blocks and bring reform society to a stable state.This quadrupole includes: logical-sensory and intuitive-ethical extroverts as well as ethical-intuitive and sensory-logical introvert.

Sotsionika: types.Test or observation?

There are several methods for studying social type, but none of them can boast of absolute reliability.It is still not developed a good faith as possible tools for this interesting concept, which is called "Socionics".Determining the type of information metabolism is now possible with the help of tests, typing in the forums and the method of observation.Many sites on the Internet offer to go on-line testing to determine the TIM.Unfortunately, this research tool is not very reliable.You can go through the same test several times and finally get completely different results.This happens for several reasons, including because of the subjectively false information about himself, because of the desire to look better, and so on. D. Another way to determine the TIM is typing on socionic forums.There's definitely your type will be engaged in "knowing" people experienced "Gameday".They are required to fill out an extensive questionnaire offer and will ask more questions, and then will make a verdict.Another way to determine the type of self-test stands.Having carefully studied the description of the 16 types, you will be able to subjectively determine which of them is closer to you.Unfortunately, this method is far from objectivity.Also for study socionic type used method of observation, but he can "draw" the researcher.Perhaps the only consistent implementation of several methods of typing under the leadership of a competent psychologist - a follower of Socionics - will allow to correctly determine the type of metabolism test.
