Introduction to socionics
¶
Socionics
(
IPA <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet>
:
/?so?si’niks/ <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPA_chart_for_English>
)
is a theory of interpersonal interaction based on patterns of
information selection and processing. Socionics has 16
types
and 16 kinds of
intertype relations
.
Furthermore, it divides information itself into
8 varieties
.
The primary source of inspiration for socionics was
Jung’s Typology
. Socionics developed in the 1970s and 80s
in the former Soviet Union and was cut off from western psychology,
including similar typological systems such as the
MBTI
. Today
socionics is popular in the Russian speaking world and is beginning to
make inroads into other cultural realms.
For readers familiar with the MBTI, socionics will seem easy to grasp at
first, but readers should be careful to note differences in theory and
descriptions. Much knowledge from the MBTI cannot be carried over neatly
into Socionics, because the definitions of fundamental concepts, and the
behaviors predicted by the two theories, do not exactly match. Any
correspondence between types is provisional at best.
Recommendations for studying socionics
¶
At the moment there are no courses on socionics taught outside the
former Soviet Union, and only this summer have the first books in
English been published. However, there is a lot of information on
socionics available from different sources on the Internet. By combining
personal study with some
forum interaction
or meeting with other people who study socionics, you can learn it quite
well without courses.
Much of the theory of socionics is explained in terms of
Model A
and
information elements
.
However, to gain a full understanding of socionics - and especially
intertype relations
- it is necessary to see it in practice. A good way to begin is by
determining
your own type, as well as those of your
family, friends, and even casual acquaintances. Human behavior is messy,
so keep in mind that not everything may fit exactly. When in doubt,
consider relationships before behavior; relationships, while perhaps the
most abstract part of socionics, lie at its foundation. Use all
available resources to your advantage; discussion with other socionics
enthusiasts can be both educating and fun.

Type names
¶
This article describes and explains various ways of naming types in socionics.
Full Type Names
¶
The full type name for each socionics type is based on naming the Jungian dichotomies of:
the first and second function of the type: Ti/Te - Logical, Fi/Fe - Ethical, Ni/Se - Intuitive, Si/Se - Sensing.
the introverted-extraverted orientation of the first function: Ni, Ti, Si, Fi - Introvert or Introtim; Se, Ne, Fe, Te - Extravert or Extratim.
Warning
This is the basic and the minimum amount of information that is needed to identify a type.
On example of type with Ni in first function and Te in second function -
ILI (Ni,Te)
- the full name for this type would be Intuitive - Ni, intuition, as first function, Logical - Te, logic, in second function, Introtim - introverted intuition in first function. In this example, “Intuitive Logical” describes the nature of the first and second function that form this type’s
ego block
, and “Introtim” denotes the E/I-orientation of this type’s first function.
On example of type with Fe in first function and Si in second function -
ESE (Fe,Si)
- the full name of this type would be Ethical - Fe, ethics, as first function, Sensing - Si, sensing, as second function, Extratim - extraverted feeling in first function. Here “Ethical Sensing” describes the nature of the first and second function, and “Extratim” denotes the E/I-orientation of this type’s first function.
The following table lists full type names for 16 socionics types.

Three-Letter Type Codes
¶
The three-letter code simply takes the first letter of each word of the full name of the type to create a 3-letter abbreviation. The following is a table of 16 types of the socion represented by three-letter codes:

Three-letter codes are the most common way of denoting types. Some people who get involved with socionics prefer to use the 3-letter type codes to other type naming conventions for several reasons.
They are short and quick to write, saving time in typing and space in text and presentations.
Unlike 4-letter codes, they are not likely to get confused for MBTI types, which are also denoted by 4 letters, opening doors to potential confusion.
Unlike type pseudonyms, such as “Dumas” or “Hamlet”, they don’t create opportunities to mistake the properties of socionics TIMs for biographical details and personal characteristics of the personages and historical personalities after which they were named.
Their drawback, of course, is that it takes some time and practice to memorize the 3-letter codes, especially for people coming to Socionics with a background in MBTI.
Four-Letter Type Codes
¶
In English-speaking socionics communities sometimes four-letter codes are used instead of the more orthodox three-letter coding. The letters for the four-letter names are derived from
Carl Jung’s original dichotomies
: Intuition-Sensing, Feeling-Thinking, Introversion-Extroversion, and Judging-Perceiving.
Jungian dichotomies and letter symbols

or
Extroversion-Introversion

I (Introvert)
Intuition-Sensing
N (Intuitive)
S (Sensing)
Logical-Ethical
T (Logical)
F (Ethical)
Judging-Perceiving
j (Judging)
p (Perceiving)
The functions that are called “judging” in MBTI and in the works of Carl Jung, Thinking and Feeling – are called
Rational
in Socionics.
The functions that are called “perceiving” in MBTI and Jung’s writing, Intuition and Sensing – are known as
Irrational
in Socionics.
In Socionics 4-letter type names the last j/p letter is always determined by the nature of the first or leading function of the type.
If the 1st function of the type holds a rational (judging) element T/F, then the last letter is ‘j’.
If the 1st function of the type holds an irrational (perceiving) element N/S, then the last letter is ‘p’.
The last ‘j’ and ‘p’ letters of Socionics 4-letter type names constitute a Socionics dichotomy called
Rationality-Irrationality
.
Types that have a rational (judging) aspect F or T as their leading function are called Rational types.
Types that have an irrational (perceiving) aspect N or S as their leading one are called Irrational types.
For example, type ILI (Ni,Te) has the first function of Ni, which is a perceiving (irrational) element. Thus, in 4-letter type nomenclature this type is denoted as INTp, with the last letter ‘p’ denoting the perceiving element positioned in this type’s first or leading function. The type INTp (ILI) is one of the irrational types in Socionics.
On example of type LII (Ti,Ne) that has the first function of Ti: since this type’s first function is occupied by a judging (rational) element Ti, this type is denoted as INTj, with the last letter ‘j’ denoting the rational (judging) nature of its leading function. The type INTj (LII) is one of the rational types in Socionics.
The above forms a distinction between Socionics 4-letter codes and MBTI 4-letter codes
. The J/P letter in MBTI is determined on basis of highest order extroverted function of the type, which for introverted types is not the same as the first function. For instance, the type that has Ni as its first function and Te as its second function in MBTI is denoted as INTJ, with a “J” as the last letter, since its highest order extroverted function is Te - a judging element - while this type is denoted as INTp in socionics, having a perceiving function (Ni) as the first one.
In summary
:
In Socionics, the last j/p letter is always determined by the first or leading function.
In MBTI, the last J/P letter is always determined by the highest order extraverted function - which is not the same as the first function for introverted types.
Warning
The above is one of the reasons why MBTI 4-letter codes cannot be converted letter-for-letter to Socionics 4-letter codes.
To highlight this difference, Socionics 4-letter type codes are written with a
lower case
“j” or “p” at the end to distinguish Socionics type names (e.g. INFj, ENTp) from MBTI type names that have J/P as a capital letter (e.g. ESFP, ISTJ) (although some socionists like Reinin initially used all capital letters).

Four-letter codes are very often found in English-speaking socionics websites, and less frequently on Russian-speaking socionics websites. The popularization of this system of nomenclature among the English-speaking socionics community is often accredited to
Sergei Ganin
.
Benefits of 4-letter code type denominations:
They make it easier to remember dichotomies and intertype relations.
They allow to specify groups of types more concisely (e.g., Ij for introverted rational type, or simply N for intuitive types).
They are easier to remember for people who are already familiar with MBTI notations and are learning Socionics ones. Three-letter codes, in comparison, take some time and practice to memorize. For this reason, Socionics articles written to target English-speaking audience will often use four-letter codes to denote types, rather than three-letter codes, symbols, or type pseudonyms.
Drawbacks:
Four-letter codes can encourage dichotomous typing, which can cause misinterpretation of contradictory properties.
They are easy to confuse with Myers-Briggs types, especially if care is not taken to write the last letter in lower case. This may result in erroneous conceptions regarding the nature and characteristics of types in Socionics.
Two-Letter Codes
¶
The two letter-codes were created by
Victor Gulenko
. They are even shorter than the traditional 3-letter codes, as they use 1 letter to denote the first two
functions
of the type. This is the most concise type naming system used in socionics that uses letters or words. It is essentially equivalent to using the symbols associated with the first two functions.
The letter associated with each
IM element
is the first letter of words whose meaning is closely related to the use of the element. This endows this naming system with an advantage that it can be used internationally, since the names are in Latin letters and are derived from Latin roots.
Elements are denoted by the Latin letters F, I, P, E, S, T, L and R.

Geometric Symbol and Function Names
¶
Socionics types can be named by specifying the first and the second element of the given type’s ego block. This is enough information provided to identify the type. These elements can be written as letters (e.g. NeFi) or as symbols (e.g.
). Some socionists prefer not to use the IE shapes nomenclature, considering it to be hard to adjust to for beginners and not a serious approach to terminology.
The symbols used to denote the first and second functions of the type are as follows:
Sensing (
/
) is portrayed by a circle, representing the entirety of reality.
Intuition (
/
) is portrayed by a triangle which fits inside the circle, but has sharp points of “insight”.
Logic (
/
) is portrayed by a square, representing logical thought and reason.
Ethics (
/
) is portrayed by a square with a ‘chip’ taken out of it, representing partiality and a rejection of reason alone.
These symbols were chosen by
A. Augusta
to reflect certain qualities of perception associated with each element. For instance, the extraverted elements are shaded in, representing characteristics of objects, while introverted ones are empty, representing the inner space of the subject.
English nicknames
¶
English nicknames are translations of similar type names used by many Russian socionists. The idea behind these names is to capture a common social role or common characteristics displayed by people of the type. These names have not caught on very well in English-language socionics, in which the three- and four-letter codes are much more popular. These nicknames can be seen at summary chart of type names.
Popular Russian pseudonyms
¶
Type pseudonyms are very popular in the Russian speaking socionics community, but are generally avoided in research articles. Originally, Augusta assigned literary and historical figures to each type to make them easier to remember, and this practice quickly caught on in the more literature-aware Russian-speaking society. Later many socionists came to question the typings behind a couple of the pseudonyms, namely “Napoleon” (most now consider him SLE instead of SEE, as Augusta typed him).
Some socionists question the appropriateness of type pseudonyms, since the types of historical figures and literary characters are always open to dispute. Gulenko proposed his own system of pseudonyms using common social roles of each type similar to those used in Myers-Briggs Typology.
When describing the types, Augusta and fellow socionists thought of pseudonyms, or nicknames, for them based on historical or fictional figures supposedly of that type. These names, with a few variations, remain popular with Russian-language socionists, who often use them in articles. The disadvantage of this system is that it is based purely on memorization, and lacks any theoretical content.

Information Elements
¶
Introduction
¶
The information elements (also IM elements, elements of information metabolism, or, confusingly, “
functions
”) are eight mental categories that play a key role in interpersonal interaction. They are denoted using the same symbols and names as the
information aspects
. The difference between them is that information elements are subjective properties of the psyche, whereas information aspects are objective properties of reality independent from psyche.

States of Mind
¶
When a person is “using” an element he naturally goes into a corresponding state of mind, which is reflected in his body language and vocabulary, and tends to have a similar effect on the people around him, who will react based on which
function
that element occupies in their
Model A
, with interest (
Ego
), amusement (
Super-Id
), boredom (
Id
), or irritation (
Super-Ego
), etc.
Si
: a physically relaxed state of mind, turned to the continuity and flow of the moment
Ne
: seeing the potential on the current situation, bringing up various possibilities up to discussion, recombinative play, permutations, variations, alternatives, solutions, including options that seem improbable or even absurd at times, informationally renovative and refreshing conversation
Ti
: analytical state of mind, clarity and exactitude of thought, a sense of coherence, order, and regularity at different levels of structure, “debugging”: seeing the whole system and then spotting nonsensical flaws or mistakes, or alternatively building one’s own systems from simple and well-understood parts
Fe
: assessing the moods and attitudes from dynamics of surroundings and the actions and choices of others, being perceptive of the “emotional atmosphere”, analyzing and evaluating emotions and attitudes of others based on their currently observable reactions and actions, with to express one’s feelings and experiences openly and directly, to impact the emotional and social space, which can be done through expressive combination of words and gestures
Ni
: a protracted and reflective state of mind, “falling out of time” and later trying to make up for lost activity, generalizing and abstracting past events from memory, using these generalizations to see what’s going to happen, reflecting upon the past in order to be able to evaluate what is possible to do in the present moment and to predict the most likely course of events, patience that borders with inactivity
Se
: awareness of the space and concrete environment around oneself, externally observatory state of mind, “sensing of reality”, “factual perception of reality”, everything around you gets registered no matter if you can touch it or it’s way off in the distant distance, a mobilized state, exerting force on objects and people with the goal of moving them around in space, in Se perception a person or object can be influenced only in space
Fi
: an analytical state of mind, analysis of personal feeling and stances, harmony or disharmony of personal values and sentiments, endearment, closeness, moral satisfaction, emotional sensitivity, deep personal conviction that may produce moral firmness and resolve
Te
: an evaluatory state of mind that directly assesses events and actions of other people from logical POV and openly voices those assessments, assessing and estimating productivity, efficiency, usefulness, rational sense of any given involvement venture or activity, steady and purposeful state of mind that leads to making rational actions despite the present sentiments
Information Element Dichotomies
¶
Warning
This page or section is
incomplete
. Additional contributions are needed.
There are 3 basic dichotomies of
information aspects
, and thus 4 derived dichotomies (see the
mathematics
of the Reinin dichotomies.)
The dichotomies Static / Dynamic and Extroverted / Introverted (a.k.a. Body / Field) came from
Aushra Augusta
, and External / Internal was suggested by another early author. However, this last dichotomy is criticized by some socionists for its lack of meaningful content. The Rational / Irrational dichotomy comes from
Jung’s typology
.

Static / Dynamic Information Elements
¶
Static information is discrete and about things that change abruptly:
Ne Ne : discrete temporal phases and sets of discrete alternatives
Ti Ti : discrete logical and structural dependencies between states of affairs.
Se Se : discrete spatial boundaries that delineate territory and control.
Fi Fi : discrete types of interpersonal relationships, such as “friend” or “enemy”.
Dynamic information is continuous and about things that are in constant fluctuation:
Si Si : one’s continuous physical exchanges with one’s environment.
Fe Fe : the continuous excitations in people’s psychological states.
Ni Ni : the continuous evolution of things over time.
Te Te : the continuous incoming stream of objective facts about the world.
Extroverted / Introverted Information Elements
¶
Extroverted information is information about things as they are, independent of relations to other things:
Ne Ne : something has potential or does not
Fe Fe : one is happy or sad
Se Se : one is aware of external properties of reality or not
Te Te : something is useful or not
Introverted information is information about how things relate to one another, independent of their innate properties:
Si Si : Person X is comfortable with Condition Y or is not
Ti Ti : Statement X follows logically from Statement Y or does not
Ni Ni : Course of events X will lead to Consequence Y or not
Fi Fi : Person X relates well to Person Y or does not

Functions
¶
Functions are the eight components of
Model A
that describe how each information
element
is manifested in each type. They determine overall patterns in a person’s behavior, which in turn have a strong influence on the person’s interactions with other people. Functions are distinct from
information aspects
and
information elements
.
Functions have not yet been identified as functional biological components of the brain. No one knows for sure how these overarching patterns of behavior and interaction manifest themselves on a neurological level. Is a function physically located in one place, or is it a kind of neural network, or a pattern of brain activity? Answering these questions is a major problem in making socionics more scientific.
According to Model A, there are eight functions present in each type, one for each
information elements
. In this respect socionics differs from canonical
MBTI
and
Jung’s Typology
, in which only four elements are present in each type. Given the assumptions that everyone perceives the same information elements, and that there is a one-to-one correspondence between information elements and functions, this number is essentially determined by the relationship structure (see
Mathematics of socionics
).
For a more specific description of each function as manifested in
Model A
, see descriptions of the
Information elements
.
Ego
¶
The first row of
Model A
(functions 1 and 2) is called the Ego block. These functions describe the
aspects of reality
that a person perceives with the greatest depth and clarity and verbalizes with the greatest ease. The Ego block also describes the most natural and common states of mind and behavior styles used when interacting with other people, and also a certain perspective that a person injects into the things he says.
The information aspects that corresponds to the Ego block elements are things that a person can’t help spontaneously commenting on and is comfortable discussing out loud (especially true of the leading function). If something is not right in these areas, a person can barely continue until he has spoken out about it and done something to fix the problem. When problems arise, the people who are most likely to point them out are those whose perception of that aspect of reality comes from the Ego block.
The Ego block functions require a constant stream of new information and stimulation (whether by direct experience, observation, study, or reflection) and quickly sort through this information, recognizing what is useful and necessary and what is not. When exposed to the types of information corresponding to the elements of the Ego block, a person takes immediate note and quickly forms his own attitude or opinion on the matter. He is more confident of his own judgments in these areas than of other people’s, even if those people are widely accepted authorities. Instinctively, people are likely to overuse these functions and apply them in practically any area, even when their relevance is minimal. This makes the ego functions (and in particular the base function) more obvious to a casual observer than the other functions.
The Ego block describes a person’s preferred and most comfortable and natural role or “mode of operation” when interacting with other people. When a person gets to use his Ego block functions in interaction, he becomes lively and confident and exudes an air of authority and expertise. These functions also have the most endurance; a person can use them longer than other functions without getting worn out.
The Ego block functions imply a certain perspective or set of values since they are the most preferred approaches to solving life problems, giving advice, and achieving one’s goals. The individual wants to see society become more like himself and wants to instill his personal philosophy or values in his work activities, his living space, and the people around him. For a person to feel needed and fulfilled, he has to see that his unique perspective is making a difference somewhere. The areas where a person is most likely to make a difference correspond to the Ego block elements. They are called Ego exactly because they are so naturally identified with one’s own perspective, ideals, and identity.
The Ego functions are mostly indifferent to praise, since it is very hard to tell a person something about these aspects of himself that he didn’t already know—and can easily describe to others. Moreover, when others display misunderstanding of these elements, he feels that it is his right and duty to correct them.
Leading Function
¶
The
leading function
, also called the
base
,
program
, or simply
first function
, is an individual’s most dominant psychic function. It describes in general terms the person’s most comfortable thinking patterns, perspective on life, state of mind, and behavioral style as well as their positive motivational forces (what they pursue most vigorously when they have a choice). The leading function is critical to interpersonal dynamics because people constantly and inadvertently make judgments, assessments, and assumptions based on it. These comments and judgments portray a particular set of core values and share a common vector or general message, and those who the person interacts closely with must be accepting of this message for interaction to be cohesive and
compatible
.
Generally speaking, the leading function perceives, processes, and produces information most intensively. When a person “speaks” or “acts” from their leading function, they convey a sense of robust confidence and often begin to speak categorically, persuasively, and using exaggerations.
Proper development of one’s leading function is generally seen as being crucial to
personal development
. This requires having people around you who are accepting of your core values and most natural, confident behavior styles. Profession-wise, the base function provides the best platform for developing a unique niche that will bring real value to other people. Rather than describing the professions a person would be best at, the base function describes a general approach and behavior style that can be successfully applied to virtually any field of activity.
Use of the base function comes effortlessly and produces a sense of internal satisfaction regardless of any external rewards. Base function activities can easily be developed into highly effective and productive skills, but there is also a tendency to indulge too much in the base function just because it is easy and rewarding. When overuse becomes extreme, a feeling of emptiness and pointlessness follows, and use of the base function stops bringing satisfaction.
The influence of the base function on perception and core values is so strong that people tend to project these values onto other people: everyone else surely must want the same things that your base function strives for. This projection is often a source of conflict with other people who have opposing values, but it is also one of the mechanisms for
dualization
. The base function’s empathy towards others stimulates
duals
(and, to a certain degree,
activators
and
semi-duals
) to try to take care of the other person’s problems with the corresponding function. This is exactly what the dual is looking for subconsciously, since one dual’s base function is the other’s
suggestive function
. However, in many other cases a person’s natural interest in aspects of other people’s lives that correspond to his own base function creates mistrust and strained relations.
According to the
dimensionality of functions
, the base function is able to effectively process and apply personal experience and social norms, present different solutions for different situations, and recognize and extrapolate the development of this
aspect of information
over time. The time dimension, which is shared by the
demonstrative function
, allows it to “fill in the blanks” between two related aspects, thus allowing it to infer the existence of previously unknown content.
Creative Function
¶
The
creative function
is also called the
function of implementation
,
implementing
,
realizing
, or
second function
. This function describes the primary mode of application of the base function. If the base function forms the core of the individual’s personal quests and interests (
“What’s in it for me?”
,
“What do I want to be?”
), the creative function describes his main instrument for interacting with the rest of society (
“How do I make contact with other people?”
). For extroverts this means creating a context for people to interact within, and for introverts — creating a product worthy of being included in interaction.
People use their creative function less than their
base function
and attach less personal significance to it, although due to the nature of blocked functions it is usually used in tandem with the base function. In their value system, their creative function activities seem less personally significant than their base function activities. When other people try to make this function the main criterion for everything, light irritation can arise, and the person may try to “correct” the other person’s emphasis by presenting a perspective from his base function and suggesting that this is more important. Also, when other people express problems having to do with this
information aspect
, the person quickly takes interest and tries to present solutions — but always through his own base function. For instance, an SEE will try to help other people solve their Fi
related problems (relationships and understanding between people) through a Se
perspective (making sure you know what you want and are trying to achieve it; understanding the territorial aspect of interaction; recognizing the obvious “dumb things” that people are doing that are ruining the relationship). When people get to use their creative function to help others’ problems, they feel needed and fulfilled and begin to live more fully. Likewise, criticism in this area is more sensitive and unpleasant than in the base function.
Use of the creative function — while frequent and effortless — seems to turn on and off. One moment the person may seem highly interested in this aspect, and the next — totally indifferent. This may jar people for whom this aspect of reality is of more supreme importance and who expect more consistent attention and effort in this area. A good example of this is one’s interaction with their
mirror
partner; each person’s leading function is subject to the other’s creativity function, so even though both partners do share similar worldviews, they are apt to ‘correct’ or add on to the other’s rigid and finalized points.
Super-ego
¶
for
intertype relation
of the same name, see
Super-ego relations
.
The second row of
Model A
(functions 3 and 4) is called the
Super-Ego block
. The individual’s free and spontaneous use of the Ego block functions implies limitations on the use of these functions, which are a kind of rejected alternative to the
Ego
block. Each type tends to believe that his own Super-Ego functions are meant to be used only for the purposes established by the Ego functions; that is, their application is limited to serving the Ego block’s interests. When a person’s own interests are not sufficiently developed and people around him pressure him to be more competent with his Super-Ego functions, distress and disappointment result. The psyche is not able to channel energy through the Super-Ego functions long enough to achieve lasting results, which leads to disappointment, guilt, and even neuroses if the individual believes that the development of these functions is the measure of his worth as a person.
The Super-Ego functions are the source of much self-consciousness. When among strangers or critical onlookers, people tend to suddenly become aware of the possible inadequacy of their Super-Ego functions and often respond in one of two ways:
demonstratively act through these functions to create an illusion of confidence
demonstratively state their complete incompetency or rejection of these areas
The Super-Ego functions are in the mental ring and thus describe things that the individual tries to mentally formulate for himself. However, in contrast to the Ego block functions, the Super-Ego functions almost always keep their conclusions to themselves. Any information which is shared in these areas is meant for abstract discussion, rather than actual advice or criticism.
Role Function
¶
This
role
function is also called the
third function
. When a person is actively using his
base function
, the role function is essentially turned off. The two cannot both be “on” at the same time, because they represent two opposing approaches to similar things. An example of each opposing pair of elements are:
Si
vs.
Ni
: a focus on one’s environment and how it’s affecting one’s physical state
vs.
a focus on a situation’s development over time and other underlying meanings
Se
vs.
Ne
: active acquisition, control, and organization of visible territory and objects
vs.
active search for and development of invisible potential and emerging situations
Fi
vs.
Ti
: evaluation according to personal sentiments
vs.
evaluation according to impersonal laws (mercy vs. justice)
Fe
vs.
Te
: evaluation according to the people/social element involved
vs.
evaluation according to efficiency, effectiveness or objective reasoning
Because of this opposition, the more one gets carried away with one’s base function, the more the role function is ignored or suppressed. People are generally somewhat aware of this suppression and perceive it as a personal weakness that needs to be “worked on” in order to meet other people’s expectations and achieve something in society. It is typical for people to periodically work on their role function in order to correct imbalances in their life and improve their weak areas. However, these attempts are generally sporadic and are forgotten as soon as the perceived problem begins to go away and the person once again becomes carried away with their usual lifestyle which is dominated by their base function. Thus, development of the role function is more like patching up leaks than building a complete, self-sufficient structure. Often individuals wish they could build up their role function and become “supermen”, but an excessive focus on this unreachable goal brings disappointment, because the base function always wins anyways.
When people are criticized for their lack of attentiveness to their role function, they are often irritated because they are already well aware of the deficiency and have already tried and failed to correct it. When problems arise with the role function, energy flows away from the base function, the individual brings his usual activities to a halt, and tries to pick up all the tasks he had been neglecting. Directing energy through the base function is effortless; working with the role function requires effort and concentration. Thus, people’s concept of self-development is often centered on development of the role function and the Super-Ego block in general.
Compared to the vulnerable function, role function criticism is easier for a person to respond to or dismiss, since they believe that it has some value, in theory. The role function is triggered situationally, when individuals are met with situations that oppose their base aspect of reality. The base function only accepts information relating to its information aspect, and other information cannot be produced into new data with the creative function.
Vulnerable Function
¶
The
vulnerable function
is also called the
point or place of least resistance (PoLR)
,
painful
or
sensitive
function, or simply the
fourth function
. The element in this function creates a feeling of frustration and inadequacy. A person does not understand the importance of this element entirely, and it can easily lead to painful consequences if not adequately considered.
However, to directly engage this function creates feelings of insecurity and distress. One reason why the vulnerable function is so difficult to engage is because three other conscious functions come before it, making this one the most difficult to comprehend. Often an alternative approach may be found from the view of the
mobilizing function
. Because of the psychological disincentives to using the vulnerable function, people usually try to ignore information related to it, and in extreme cases do so even in situations where it is most relevant. Even with a theoretical understanding of how this element works, it is difficult to turn it into practical norms of behavior. One can “develop” the vulnerable function by recognizing that it is actually important in certain real-life circumstances. Even if the subject recognizes this, he will still usually try to avoid taking responsibility for it himself, or develop a minimalist or non-traditional approach (possibly using other functions) that is enough to satisfy one’s own needs. The presence of a dual usually dissolves any concern there might be about how to approach matters of the vulnerable function.
Some examples:
A type with
Fe
PoLR does not see the point of activities revolving around excessive displays of emotion or behavior that does not reach a concrete or tangible outcome. They would rather keep conversations serious and to the point, for he/she is overwhelmed by such emotional expression, making it quite difficult to express themselves. In social interactions they will make a serious effort to reduce their level of emotive expressiveness such as being too joyful or sad, believing that showing these signs will make them vulnerable to be influenced by others. They don’t hold quite a high standard for how people as a group feel about something (even if outnumbered by many when making a personal decision), and instead value situations where they can speak their own subjective opinions and feelings freely.
A type with
Ne
PoLR has a difficult time understanding ideas that seem new or novel, especially when it has no tangible effect on their lives. Leaving little to chance, they are able to plan out their lives for years ahead of time. This results in difficulties handling unexpected problems in their lives that put a halt on their usual pursuits, and they tend to fear all the possible “what-if’s” when those problems prevent them from seeing a clear future. When unsure about something, these types can either avoid making any changes at all or making too quick and reckless of a decision, either of which resulting in missed opportunities.
A type with
Si
PoLR has little patience for sitting back and focusing on how they can physically better themselves in the moment, especially if they are involved in what they view as a very important matter. They would much rather try to act on their long-term priorities instead of their physical comfort, resulting in problems such as an inability to be aware or care about present realities, failure to realize the physical or mental strains they are placing on themselves, and being generally unable to relax and take the focus off of their long-term pursuits.
A type with
Te
PoLR tends to reject facts given from a source which they are personally unfamiliar with, firmly believing they can make their own decisions that are solely based on their own perspective and reasoning about it. They will tend to become defensive when questioned about their rationale or efficiency, pointing out that there is no such thing as objective “fact”. Also, these types experience a significant level of stress in tending to day-to-day must do’s and responsibilities in life (like routine maintenance or working productively), manifesting itself as a general laziness or hyper-diligence.
Super-id
¶
The third row of Model A (functions 5 and 6) is called the
Super-id block
. The subject will appreciate direct help to the Super-id, and sees tasks related to it as chores best left to others, but also as a source of frequent recreation. When feeling like there’s something missing in his life, the subject will try to use his Super-id functions, but with limited effect, as it often comes off as overkill and is usually poorly developed. Only in the presence of complementary types can an individual let loose his child-like Super-id without fear of criticism. But ironically, although these types will maintain a good deal of their Super-id information in the atmosphere, they will at the same time doggedly encourage him to keep using his Ego functions, which in the end is the healthiest thing for him to do anyway.
Suggestive Function
¶
The suggestive function is also called the dual-seeking function or the fifth function. The subject finds it difficult to be overwhelmed by this element, since it perfectly complements and drives the activity of the leading function. The more it is present in his daily life, the more he will naturally adapt to its presence (see
dualization
). They are easily entertained by this kind of information, and its sustained presence creates a soothing psychological effect. If someone experiences a deficiency of it in his environment, he may attempt to supply it himself, but become soon exhausted. Unlike the mobilizing function, concentrated and prolonged doses from other people are received positively (depending somewhat on the individual’s degree of dualization).
People focus deeply on the use of this function in day-to-day life, always attempting to digest information received from the environment through this aspect of reality. This is because it complements the leading function, making an individual not only more understanding but more satisfied about their pursuits in the Ego.
Activating Function
¶
The
activating function
is also called the
hidden agenda (HA)
, or the
sixth function
. Help in this element is appreciated, but past a certain point is seen as excessive. The subject is more comfortable using this function than the suggestive function but still can only use it sporadically. If he isn’t careful and directs it at an individual who does not value it, he will likely meet a harsh response, since they are almost sure to see it as a puerile gesture (more so than when he uses the suggestive function, usage of which comes off as more mature and well-considered, since he takes it more seriously in the first place). The subject’s innate lack of balance in the mobilizing function can easily cause him to indulge in it recklessly or to sorely neglect it. It is best used in support of the suggestive function.
See also
Ganin’s views on the “hidden agenda”
.
Id
¶
The fourth row of
Model A
(functions 7 and 8) is called the
Id block
. People see Id elements as a relatively easy, if somewhat boring and meaningless exercise, good for sharpening one’s skills, but not worth focusing on too much.
Ignoring Function
¶
The
ignoring function
is also called the
observing
or
limiting
function, or the
seventh function
.
A person has very little use of this element, as it is the rival image of the
base function
, representing an antithetical approach to the same domain. It lies in the subconscious as a persistent annoyance to the individual. Therefore, he or she tries to ignore it. When lectured by another on the use of the ignoring function, the individual sees it as superfluous information, for he or she knows how to use the function well, but chooses not to use it in favor of his or her more convenient base function. Usually the base function creates byproducts relating to the ignoring function, but the way it describes such information is very carefully chosen to fit the view of the leading function.
A person limits the expression of this element in public (in favor of the base function), but sometimes uses it extensively in private, and can call upon it when necessary. For example, an
SEI
usually defaults to his base function Si
and shies from activities that are highly physical or cause conflict, but if inevitable confrontation arises, he is able to use his Se
and become fiercely coercive and quarrelsome for short periods of time.
The extreme avoidance of this function can make it appear weak at times. However, when engaged it does not cause the same kind of psychological stress as a weak function, instead creating a kind of boredom or malaise.
Demonstrative Function
¶
This function is also called the
eighth function
. A person uses this element mainly as a kind of game, or to ridicule those who he thinks take it too seriously. This function is often intentionally used against its conventional usage simply to prove a point in favor of person’s
creative function
. It is associated with the protective effect for vulnerable (PoLR) function of one’s dual type. However, demonstrative function is also used quite often in private, to produce information of its element to support their creative function when focusing on making contact with the external world.
A person will often have just as sophisticated an understanding of this function as his or her
leading function
. Unlike the ignoring function it plays a major part in a person’s worldview, since as the
vulnerable function
of one’s
dual
it requires especially delicate attention. Thus, when a person is given information regarding the element in the demonstrative function by someone else, they will tend to take it as obvious information that is irrelevant to completely focus on. One will often use the demonstrative function to defend and further support their beliefs made in the vulnerable function.
The demonstrative function is easiest function to use (after the base function) yet often occurs sporadically. When one experiences a problem regarding this function, one must correct it as it does play a vital part in a person’s worldview.

Model A
¶
Introduction
¶
Model A is a detailed model of human information metabolism named after
Aushra Augustinavichiute
who has created it by incorporating
Carl Jung’s work on Psychological Types
with
Antoni Kępiński’s theory of information metabolism
. This model consists of
8 functions
each of which works with one of the
8 information aspects
. Different combinations of information aspects in different functions of model A create the 16 distinct types of information metabolism of Socionics – i.e. the 16 Socionics TIMs.
Model A forms the foundation of classical socionics. Over the past decades, various improvements and changes to model A, as well as
alternative models
have been proposed.

A detailed representation of Model A is given in the table below. The rest of this page covers extended descriptions of its constituents.

Eight Functions
¶
Model A is typically drawn as a
2x4 matrix
as is shown in the first table below. Each of the 8 functional slots is taken up by 1 information aspect to build the model A for a particular type, as is shown in the second table. The functions follow standard numbering from 1 to 8. The elements are often designated by their corresponding
geometric symbols
.
Note
It is important to note that the numbering of functions in socionics does not indicate their “strength”, rather their position and role within the model A.

The placement of information aspects in the 8 functional slots is not random and follows
certain rules for positioning
. Once we specify the aspects of the first two functions, this is enough information to specify all of the remaining aspects and the exact socionics TIM.
As can be seen from the table above, each socionics type perceives and processes all of the
aspects of reality
, but depending on the positioning of those aspects in this TIM’s model A this happens to varying degrees of clarity, depth, and comfort. Model A can be figuratively pictured as a round tower with eight windows that face in different directions. Some windows are large and clear; from these windows a person can see far and in great detail - these are the strong functions. Other windows are small and blurry, allowing to see only vague contours, or not even distinguish whether it’s light or dark outside - these are the weak functions. The size and properties of each window are individual for each person, but, at the same time, there are certain rules that concern their positioning that specify the 16 distinct types of information metabolism of socionics.
By combining the characteristics of an element with the properties of its functional position of Model A, we can generalize traits and attitudes manifested by socionics TIMs that have that particular element in that particular position. Thus, we can use Model A as an abstract framework to generate types descriptions of 16 TIMs of socionics. Furthermore, socionics
intertype relations
can be also be analyzed and understood on basis of Model A. However, as a rule, significant amount of practical observation and introspection is necessary to understand how this theoretical model applies in practice.
Functional Properties and Dichotomies
¶
The 8 functions of the model A can be distinguished by the
functional dichotomies
that impart certain set of properties on each function.
The functional dichotomy of
strong-weak
is related to the dimensionality of functions, where 3- and 4-dimensional functions are considered to be strong, and 1- and 2-dimensional functions are called weak. The idea of dimensionality of functions was introduced by A. V. Bukalov in 1989 by analogy with the dimension of functions in mathematics. Later this concept was used by V. D. Yermak. According to this concept, the “strength” of functions of model A corresponds to how many parameters are accessible to it in processing information, up to four.

Four Blocks
¶
The 8 functions of model A are further grouped into
four blocks
each containing 2 functions in a row. Each block contains one
rational
and one
irrational
element, one
Extroverted
and one
Introverted
element. Traditionally it is thought that the functions of each block are somehow connected and codependent with each other. Other socionists maintain that the functions manifest themselves separately.
Aushra Augusta has chosen the terms
Ego
,
Super-ego
,
Id
, and
Super-id
for the names of the four blocks by analogy with Sigmund Freud’s model of the psyche.
Note
It is important to note that the meaning of these terms in context of socionics model is somewhat different than their meaning in the practice of psychoanalysis.

Ego Block
¶
Ego Block – is the block of strong, mental, conscious functions
:
leading function
and
creative function
. The aspects of the Ego Block functions are valued within the quadrant of a given type.
The Ego block is a socially demonstrative, creative block that forms the core of the TIM and is usually associated with an individual’s ego - their inner “I”. This is an area of conscious competence and individualism, as well as conscious and active observation and influence on the world. A person is usually the most confident, informed, and energetically active on their Ego block functions. On this block, we rarely experience feelings of remorse, doubt, and shame; neither does this block shift responsibilities or blame onto others.
The Ego block comprises a point of accurate self-assessment and demands social recognition that is adequate to its abilities. The activities of the functions of this block are socially directed - people easily share their experience and lend help to others from their Ego block. The functions in this block rarely “get tired”, thus a person can fill in most of their free time by activities pertaining to the functions of this block. Often people pick their primary sphere of activity and occupation basing on the functions of the Ego block.
The Ego block is believed to be fully formed by the time a person reaches 24-25 years of age. Some socionists have noticed that this observation coincides with C. G. Jung’s commentary: “The first half of [a person’s] life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.”
Note
It should be noted that while this is the strongest block of a TIM, the accuracy and correctness of its estimates is strongly influenced by a person’s level of experience, knowledge, and intelligence. It is quite possible for the Ego block functions to make mistakes. Still, a person rarely feels deeply ashamed or inadequate on this block even if they’ve blundered and recovers with ease.
The two functions of the Ego Block, the leading function and the creative one, are said to constitute the “formula of the type”. These are the most independent and confident functions. Activity of this block always carries an unfinished, open-ended nature. On this block a person says: “I know what I need the best. If some changes or improvements are needed, I will implement them without outside help.”
The program, base, or leading function directs the global perception and general lifestyle of a person i.e. it constitutes the “program” for a person’s life. The perception and filtering of reality through the base function happens so naturally and imperceptibly that often it is difficult for an individual to imagine that the surrounding reality can be perceived any differently. The base function is always subtly present and “coloring” an individual’s perceptions from a very early age. Its presence as a constant stream of information without strong variations makes it difficult to notice in others, as well as in oneself, despite it being the strongest and most conscious function. For typing purposes, a person needs to be considered “on global scale” to determine the activity and orientation of their “program” function. It could be said that people “embody” their leading function rather than express it in daily situations. People often have strong ego identification with their “program” function as it is assumed to be a part of their identity.
The leading function is
inert
and relatively inflexible. It changes its notions and outlooks slowly and gradually, especially for people of leading function
subtypes
. Often, information that is capable of causing such changes evokes resistance and rejection from the leading function, and is therefore integrated very slowly. Such integration has the highest chance of taking place typically under the conditions of repeated and prolonged exposure to the leading function of one’s dual TIM.
The creative or implementation function is another strong, conscious function. However, in contrast to the
inert
leading function, it is flexible and
contact
. Creative function does not have an “integrated and complete” picture of the world, but rather considers different options available in a given situation with the goal of finding an appropriate solution for the situation that is satisfactory and supports the person’s base function. Creative function gets actively expressed in conversations and everyday situations. Its expressions are poignant, designed to leverage some effect in daily situations, and often draw the immediate attention of others. Creative function requires some effort to be put forth and thus “choosy” as to when it is expressed; it may “lie in waiting” for a while to become realized in smaller everyday situations. Being another strong function in the Ego block that is openly expressed, it is oft mistaken for the leading function, especially for people of creative function subtypes.
Super-ego Block
¶
Super-ego block – is the block of weak, mental, conscious functions
:
vulnerable function
and
role function
. The aspects for the Super-ego functions are not valued within the quadrant of a given type.
This block is known as the block of “social control” and the block of “social conformism”. It can be likened to the “social conscience” of an individual: this block’s activity is directed primarily at fulfillment of norms and standards that other people set for the individual. Any evaluations and instructions on this block the individual seeks external to himself, from other people who surround him or her; here the individual “surrenders” himself to the direction and control of society, consciously admitting own weaknesses on this block. The absence of “painful irritation” on 4th vulnerable function is considered to be a sign that the individual satisfies and meets the expectations of others; each person wishes that his or her understanding of the 4th vulnerable aspect would coincide with the “public opinion”. According to interpretations of some socionics sources, this is the block through which a society controls a person.
Direct influences on Super-ego block are typically the most consciously discomforting to a person. At the same time, the person is consciously aware of his or her weaknesses in this area, and realizes that he or she must make up and react somehow. This reaction, as a rule, comes from the strong functions of their Ego block. Thus, influences on the Super-ego block make a person mobilize and consciously activate the functions of his or her Ego block for a response.
The Super-ego block never argues; it only reasons not adding anything new but only tallying up all that is known to the individual on its aspects. This block is “omnivorous” and readily absorbs all information that pertains to its aspects, at the same time showing a subpar differentiation of information.
In some literature this block is referred to as the “teenager” block - from this block the person tries to show to others: “I’m just like you. I am one of your own.” - which is reminiscent of socialization style of people in their teenage years, when a person tries to show their belonging to a particular peer group. It is also believed that this block fully forms during adolescent years (12-18).
The
role
function is a sufficiently flexible, contact, yet weak function. It may be called the “reserve” function, because it comes to aid when the possibilities and capabilities of base and creative functions are insufficient and in new situations when a person needs to be receptive of all kinds of information. However, in contrast to the creative function, the role function does not seek new options and solutions but chooses the most appropriate one from the set of already accumulated set of standards and norms. Prolonged need to focus on this function leads to feelings of discomfort and tiredness. At the same time, people periodically have a desire to “show themselves” on this function, to prove that they are up to standard and “no worse than others”, and to learn the means and methods for accomplishing this.
The
painful
function, which is also called the
point of least resistance
, is the most problematic of all socionics functions. This function is the weakest of the conscious functions, and its related aspects are often interpreted by a person as a significant personal issue or defect. Information received on painful function is often distorted and misinterpreted by a person, often too much exaggerated or too underestimated. In John Beebe’s model this function is associated with the “Trickster” archetype. Getting confronted with the need to deal with one’s own painful function, a person experiences a lot of uncertainty, senses his or her inability to accurately evaluate one’s own notions and actions and their effectiveness, and feels like he or she doesn’t know how to proceed correctly. Such realizations are often accompanied by feelings of anxiety and discomfort, a person may even start panicking. Any need to focus on the painful function leads to quick exhaustion, a sense of being drained out of energy. If some positive result is nevertheless attained on painful function, this is perceived as a major achievement and compliment by a person, and is usually grounds for enjoyment.
The painful function is inert and quite inflexible. It intakes new information with difficulty, particularly when this information doesn’t match previous experience.
Super-id Block
¶
Super-id block – is the block of weak, vital, unconscious functions
:
activating function
and
suggestive function
. The aspects of the Super-id block are valued within the quadrant of a given type. They constitute the Ego Block functions of one’s dual type.
The Super-id block is sometimes called the “child” block in socionics literature, because this is the block of weak unconscious functions on which it is difficult to engage in active, conscious, purposeful activity. A person most often is a “consumer” of information on this block, readily absorbing any related information from others, and even provoking others to produce such information, which is best accomplished by their dual TIM. At the same time, a person poorly discerns information on this block, and tends to be overly trusting of the arguments and evaluations provided by others. This is especially descriptive of the suggestive function, which has been called “suggestive” because a person is too suggestible, malleable, and easily directed on this element, having weak ability to evaluate incoming information on this function.
In general, people need extensive advice and support on the aspects of their Super-id bock, which they typically receive from others who have these information aspects as part of their Ego block. To think for oneself and resolve problems independently on this block the person “hasn’t the time” and little understanding of own wishes and needs; thus a person usually gives a lot of freedom to others, including their partner, over these aspects.
Having little awareness of one’s own needs on this block, the person does not pose their own interests on this block in opposition to others; certain victimness and sacrificial behavior can be observed on this block, as well as a need for external regulation and control. If a person does not receive support and high quality positive advice on these aspects, and experiences inadequacy on own suggestive and activating functions, a feeling of “blaming others” begins to develop over this block. In this case, a person start accusing people around for not living up to his expectations, withdrawing from society, and placing all responsibility on others. (As an example: An elderly lonely ILE man was no longer able to sufficiently take care of his living quarters, where he also kept a monkey as a pet and company. As the items and trash accumulated in his flat, and he started receiving complaints from other residents of the complex, he blamed them and his neighbors for not helping him out with upkeep and maintenance of his apartment.)
The
suggestive
function is one of the weakest functions of model A. Information received on this function is not subjected to much critical thinking and independent evaluation by a person, similar to the painful function. However, in contrast to the painful function, information relayed on suggestive aspect does not cause rejection, discomfort, and tiredness, but conversely this information evokes appreciation and trust and is received by a person as something very valuable and important. Nevertheless a person usually has somewhat of a passive attitude towards this function, expecting others to fulfill its needs. A person’s formula for treating this function is usually: “If it doesn’t hurt, I don’t notice it,” but once problems arise a person becomes exceptionally dependent on others on this aspect and receptive to their advice and directions. This is most pronounced in people of leading function subtypes.
This function is sufficiently tolerant of criticisms of others, even harsh ones, which it even takes for signs of love and care. It is experienced as more sensitive and vulnerable for people of leading function subtypes.
Influences on his function can change the inner state and outlook on the world of a person by slightly adjusting the notions of the inert base function. However a person has only weak ability to influence him or herself on this aspect, and this is typically accomplished by people of his or her dual TIM.
The
activating
function is also sometimes called the “referent”. This is another weak valued function on which a person willingly receives help and support of others, similar to the suggestive. In contrast to suggestive function, information relayed on this aspects gets partial critical evaluation and is checked against some internal standards and notions to determine whether this information is acceptable to the individual and should be accepted or rejected. A great deal of unconscious evaluation of partners in terms of whether they are acceptable happens on this function. A person’s activity level on this aspect depends on other people - if there is support, then a person’s activity may even surpass those around him, however, if there is no support - the person vanishes without a trace.
Unlike the suggestive function, the activating function often reacts painfully to any perceived criticisms and remarks, and expects only silent understanding and support (this effect is somewhat lessened for people of leading function subtypes, who exhibit higher tolerance of criticism of their activating and vulnerable functions). This function is inert and somewhat inflexible, however, it has greater situational flexibility than the base function. The aspect of this function gets adjusted by the creative function of one’s dual TIM appropriately to the situation.
Id Block
¶
Id block – is the block of strong, vital, unconscious functions
:
demonstrative function
and
ignoring function
. The aspects of the Id block are not valued within the quadrant of a type; they constitute the Super-ego block of one’s dual TIM.
Passive skills - a person is quite capable on this block, but these skills are directed at prevention of negative moments and dangerous developments rather that active and conscious self-realization. The person has little awareness of what he is capable of on this block and little interest in it. The main function of this block is watching out for potential dangers and pitfalls, satisfaction of one’s base level of needs, and ensuring one’s own survival and survival of close people. Other types of activities on this block are usually of no interest to a person and don’t bring results of high social value and merit. A person is typically unable to constantly work on the aspects of this block, since this requires placing restrictions on one’s Ego block, constant self-scrutiny and self-criticism.
The Id block is a “kinetic energy” block same as the Ego block. These are the blocks of of decisive and persistent activity that doesn’t know shame and uncertainty - unlike the blocks of Super-ego and Super-id that are “potential energy” blocks on which a person often experiences doubt and worries.
The
ignoring
function, also called
limiting
, is a strong function that directs its activity at observing what one should not do, how one should not act, warning one’s partner about the potential consequences, recommending possible courses of action to help one’s partner to overcome a negative situation. Prolonged and in depth activity of this function, however, is perceived by the individual as something boring and unnecessary, and even irritating. The individual may admire other people who occasionally demonstrate strong use of this function, but generally considers that it is not something deserving of much attention. The individual typically ignores or omits information relayed on this aspect from further conversation, by which he limits its spread. As with most vital functions, the activity of ignoring function is directed at here and now situations experienced by the person, with no observation of some kind of general global moments. The ignoring function can be described to be more strongly “ignoring” for people of leading function subtypes.
The
demonstrative
function is another strong function that is directed at not allowing the situation to develop in a negative way for oneself and for one’s partner. In contrast to the limiting function, the demonstrative function does not warn one’s partner about potential consequences, but without extra words the person takes measures for preventing negative development of a conversation or a situation. Despite being a strong function, any active discussion of this aspect is rejected by the person with the wish to change the course towards the strong valued aspects of their type. Since the aspect of demonstrative function corresponds to the aspect of the painful function of dual types, in this manner duals stop the influx of unwanted information and shield each other’s painful functions. Any actions against oneself or close people are met by rebuffs from demonstrative function. The demonstrative function is more strongly expressed in people of creative function subtypes.
Rings of Model A
¶
For each person, perception of reality gets broken down into two parts: that of external reality and that of internal reality. When we are learning about external reality, we learn about the world around us as well as ourselves as an object and a part of this world. However, there is also the internal reality, studying which we learn about ourselves from the inside, about our internal perceptions and responses to the outside world. This is reflected by the division of information processing of model A into two rings: the mental ring and the vital ring.
The
mental ring
: The functions of the mental ring are considered to be conscious. This ring receives, processes, and uses information about the external world. It is responsible for the awareness and study of the objective external reality. This includes information needed for the management of the external world (directed by the Ego block) and for adaption to it (enabled by the Super-ego block). The functions of this conscious ring are dynamic for
dynamic types
and static for the
static types
.
The mental ring solves its problems consciously - by gathering, recognition, and transmission of information. The vital ring is capable of receiving signals-irritants and independently responding to them. However, the mental ring is not a more autonomous part than the vital ring. The mental ring tunes to work only after it’s activated by the vital ring of dual TIM.
Workings of Model A
¶
The working order of functions of model A at present time finds no consensus among socionists. To some extent, the standard is the ordering described in the original works of A. Augustinaviciute, which shows a transfer of information along the mental and vital rings consecutively, in the order 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 1 and 5 → 6 → 7 → 8 → 5. Accordingly, the main entry point for incoming information are Role and Suggestive functions, and exit points are Creative and Demonstrative, that is, it is the four
contact
functions that are responsible for information exchange with the outside world.
For further information about information transfer in model A see
The Structure and Elements of Socionics Model A by Victor Gulenko
.
Positioning rules
¶
To build a complete model of a type it is sufficient to specify the
information aspects
that go into the first and the second functions. From there the other aspects fall into place as is determined by 4 dichotomies - 4 pairs of mutually exclusive traits:
Sensing - Intuition
Ethics - Logics
Extraversion - Introversion
Rationality - Irrationality
The
information aspect
placed in the first function can be any one of the 8. The aspects of the next three functions will be on the same side of static/dynamic dichotomy but with alternating introversion/extraversion (alternating geometric symbol colors) and rationality/irrationality traits. For example, if the first aspect is Ti (static, introverted rational), then the second aspect can be either Se or Ne (static, extraverted, irrational), the third aspect again needs to be introverted, as well as static and rational, and this can only be Fi as Ti was already taken, and then in the fourth place again can only be filled by Se or Ne. Thus, if the first function of model A is filled by the static, introverted, rational aspect of Ti, then there are only two possible ways of filling out the next four functions: Ti-Se-Fi-Ne (which is TIM LSI “Maxim”) or Ti-Ne-Fi-Se (which is TIM LII “Robespierre”).
The fifth function is filled by an aspect that coincides in rational/irrational trait with the first one, but is opposite to it in -version and Jung’s dichotomies of sensing/intuition and logic/ethics. For example if the first position is taken up by Ti then the fifth position is filled by Fe. The remaining three functions are filled according to the above mentioned rules.
Thus for any aspect placed in first function there are only two permissible ways of filling out the rest of the model A. Considering that there are 8
information aspects
that can fill the first function and 2 possible combinations for each we obtain 16 socionics types.

Warning
This page or section is
incomplete
. Additional contributions are needed.
Socionic types can be combined into groups that share common socionic traits. These are referred to as small groups, or quaternions if the number of types in the group is four. The most well-known small groups in socionics are
quadras
and
clubs
.
Small groups as a socionic concept generally include four types which have three
Reinin traits
in common. For example, the
club of Pragmatists
is Sensing, Logical, and Aristocratic. There are 140 such small groups.

Each small group is a group of four types that share three dichotomy traits in common. Any combination of two of these three traits is enough information to define the small group. Since each small group is defined by all three traits, defining two selects the small group and implies what the third trait must be.
When using dichotomies to type a person, this redundancy can be used to double check observations. For instance, a person who is introverted and irrational, must be the receptive-adaptive temperament, and must also be a dynamic type. If all four of these traits, the three dichotomy and one small group, the are diagnosed independently and agree with each other, it is much more likely the assessment is correct. It is still possible to get a false positive, but it would require getting two dichotomy traits and the small group wrong. This dichotomy relation of two traits implying a third is true even for undefined small groups. The only difference is the description of the small group cannot be used as a check. In this case, it would still require two mistakes to get a false positive. In practice, it is likely that additional traits will be explored to check an original observation. It is very important to remain objective to avoid confirmation bias.
Even though all dichotomies are mathematically related through small groups, if a trait is not very accurate, it can harm the overall assessment. No method is always correct, so testing for the third dichotomy trait always increased the chances of getting inconsistent results. For traits that are reliable, this is worth it because the small chance of error is traded for a much higher confidence. However, traits that are not reliable harm the entire system, and are likely to contradict other correct observations.
In the case of an inconsistency, another method is needed to resolve the error. Some people apply small groups and dichotomies in a first phase to focus what model A questions to ask in a second phase. Others test as many traits as they can and then average the results.
There is not a consensus which dichotomies and small groups are reliable, so it is up to each individual practitioner to try them out and decide what combinations to use. Hopefully, in the future, rigorous scientific trials can test the accuracy of each concept and method, but for now, most of these concepts are still experimental.
Tetrachotomies
¶
A tetrachotomy is like a dichotomy, but with four elements, instead of two. When applied to the types, each element of a tetrachotomy is a small group.
A tetrachotomy represent an overall theme of the four small groups it divide. Quadra is the tetrachotomy of alpha, beta, gamma and delta. Club is the tetrachotomy of the researcher, humanitarian, socialite and pragmatist small groups. Temperament is the tetrachotomy of flexible-maneuvering, receptive-adaptive, linear-assertive and rigid-stable small groups.
By far, the most common tetrachotomies are combinations of three dichotomies. The table of all 140 small groups are grouped by this kind of regular tetrachotomy. However, it is possible to mix the small groups from two regular tetrachotomies together as long as they share a dichotomy division in common. When two related tetrachotomies are mixed, they result in a conjugate pair of mixed tetrachotomies. There are over a two thousand ways to create unique mixed tetrachotomies, but only four make sense in the context of model A. They are created by mixing regular tetrachotomies #9 with #14 and #19 with #20. All four of these tetrachotomies share the P {irrational, rational} dichotomy. The reason for mixing is the functional and intertype relation structure of model A, which is made asymmetric by rationality. These specific tetrachotomies can be mixed to group all the base functions or all creative functions together.
This is necessary to produce some of Reinin’s intertype relation tetrachotomies using type dichotomies, like the square (relaxation) and health group. Square is four types that all have the same leading quadra value and health group is four types with the same leading strength.

There has been further research on all 35 of the small group systems at the Dynamic Socionics Center, headed by Vladimir Mironov. The related resources are linked in the further reading section below, and there is also a one of a kind book written on the subject called “Semantics of information aspects” by Kochubeeva LA, Mironova VV, and Stoyalova ML. All of the resources mentioned in this section as in Russian, so further translation and acquisition of information in English would be greatly appreciated.

Quadra
¶
A
quadra
is a group of four socionic types which have the same valued
elements
.
There are four quadra in the
socion
called
Alpha Quadra
,
Beta Quadra
,
Gamma Quadra
, and
Delta Quadra
. Each quadra is comprised of four types that values the same four information elements:

. These relations are generally considered to be favorable, with types sharing similar or compatible strivings, unspoken values, and expectations for interaction.
Quadra Descriptions
¶
Attempts at accurate descriptions of quadras are notoriously difficult, as each quadra description must find some commonality among four types that are members of four different
temperaments
and two different
clubs
. Because the shared quadra values are abstract, quadra descriptions typically rely on presumed shared interests. All the typical problems of
type diagnosis
apply as well.

Quadra values
¶
Warning
This page or section is
incomplete
. Additional contributions are needed.
The term
quadra values
is often used in socionics — for example, “LIIs have Ti as a quadra value.” What does this mean?
A possible explanation for quadra values is that the valued elements are either in the ego functions, which are conscious and strong, or the Super-Id functions, which are unconscious and weak. Because one naturally likes to have conscious control in the area of their strengths, the ego functions are valued. Similarly, because conscious engagement of one’s weaknesses is painful, the conscious Super-Ego functions are subdued, and the unconscious super-id functions valued. This is directly related to the idea of complementarity, which implies that duals allow the best possible environment for each other to develop their strengths, and at the same time, support their weaknesses in a healthy way.
Quadra values are best understood in terms of preference, and are unrelated to strength. For instance, a type with Se
Se
in their Ego will necessarily have Si
Si
in their Id and therefore be quite confident in both, but when there is a choice in priority, that type will tend to prefer to focus on Se
Se
over Si
Si
. A type of the same quadra, but without either function in the Ego, will likewise prefer Se
Se
over Si
Si
but not be particularly confident in either, so welcoming help from others on Se
Se
issues far more than over Si
Si
issues. Therefore both types have Se
Se
as quadra value.
Here is how each element manifests itself as a quadra value:
Valued extroverted intuition Ne
¶
Types that value
Ne
prefer to prepare for future events rather than plan future events. This could mean being prepared to jump on a opportunity in a particular field. They reject the idea of predicting and manipulating the future, and prefer to just do what they enjoy (
Si
) or be active in a field of a lot of opportunities and capitalise on the opportunities as they come.
These types are also uncomfortable in dogmatic environments, groups and ways of thinking, believing dogma to be restrictive to thoughts and expressions or limiting in intellectual opportunities. They enjoy discussing unusual insights and their possible ramifications on the world, with disregard for the stereotypes set by their society.
These types also dislike the idea of ‘the mystic’ who claims to have mysterious and idiosyncratic knowledge without connecting his ideas to the external world. However, they admire and seek out ‘masters’ who have specialized skills or knowledge beyond that of the normal individual.
Valued introverted intuition Ni
¶
Valued extroverted sensing Se
¶
Valued introverted sensing Si
¶
Types that value
Si
prefer to spend time enjoying activities that they do rather than straining themselves to achieve goals. They like to believe that if activities are done with enjoyment, people will give them more effort and time, and also becoming more skilled (
Ne
) at what they are doing in the long run. They believe that goals should suit people’s intrinsic needs rather than being imposed simply because they “have to be done”.
For these types, money and material goods are temporary means to an end, and hardly worth showing off. Similarly, they see prestige and the like as a silly, artificial concept that just encourages the worst and most primal aspects of human nature.
They also try to be easygoing and pleasant, preferring peaceful coexistence to conflict, except in the most extreme cases. They highly value personal autonomy, and see shows of force and idle threats as immature and unnecessary in a civilized society. Things tend to be very low-pressure with these types.
Valued extroverted logic Te
¶
Types that value
Te
tend to focus on worthwhile or beneficial activity (what is beneficial depends on the individual). They reject the idea that certain things can be analyzed on the principle that it is not beneficial or worthwhile to do so. An example of this would be use of socionics in business: although socionics does reflect how people act, actually using it beneficially in a business environment is difficult and overly complex, wasting effort and time on something that might not even make money.
They also do not like concepts or ideals (depending whether they are from Gamma or Delta) that are not practical or reflective of how the world works.
Valued introverted logic Ti
¶
Types that value
Ti
naturally question the consistency of beliefs that are taken for granted in everyday life. They strongly prefer to make decisions based on their own experience and judgement, as opposed to relying on external authorities for knowledge, which they believe to be a last resort, a necessary evil. They also have little respect for people with ambiguous or wishy-washy opinions, believing that a sense of internal certainty is necessary for orienting oneself in life. To these types, not all beliefs are created equal, so neutral consideration of them is an inherently flawed proposition. Qualifications such as “it is claimed that” only serve to obscure the true importance and validity of a statement.
They see overly pragmatic views as shallow and obvious, and try to limit public discussion of mundane practical matters. They are especially sensitive to redundant information, often seeing it as insulting to one’s intelligence.
Valued extroverted ethics Fe
¶
Types that value
Fe
like creating a visible atmosphere of camaraderie with other people. They enjoy a loose atmosphere where anything goes, where people don’t have to watch too carefully what they say for fear of offending others. This means these types try not to be too thin-skinned, always taking jokes with a grain of salt.
However, they are very conscious of the fact that the way something is said is very important to how it will be received, so they tend to add emphasis, embellishments, and exaggerations here and there to keep people engaged. The best way to say something is highly dependent on the situation and the implied purpose of the exchange, so of course levity is not appropriate in some situations; it is just one technique among many.
Even after explosive arguments, these types find it hard to hold grudges, and can tolerate people they (in principle) don’t like, as long as the situation is primarily social and doesn’t require too close contact. They prefer misgivings to be out in the open; they believe that the silent treatment is one of the worst things you can do to a person, and only aggravates the underlying problem.

In English-language socionics, there are a number of competing terms for intertype relations. The ones that are the best translations from the most common Russian versions are listed first. It should be noted that just as with
Reinin dichotomies
, the names of these intertype interactions should not be translated literally.

Categories of relations
¶
Symmetric relations
relations refer to intertype interaction where the functions of Person 1 map to those of Person 2
the same way
that the functions of Person 2 map to Person 1. Example:
ESTp
has Ni and Te, which are
INTp
’s ego elements, in the 5th and 8th functions, respectively. Likewise, INTp has Se and Ti, which are ESTp’s ego elements, in the 5th and 8th functions, respectively. Therefore, the INTp and ESTp have a symmetrical relationship, and they are
Semi-Duals
.
Asymmetric relations
relations refer to intertype interaction where the functions of Person 1 map to those of Person 2
differently
from the way that the functions of Person 2 map to Person 1. Example:
INFj
has Si and Fe, which are
ISFp
’s ego elements, in the 6th and 7th functions, respectively. However, ISFp has Fi and Ne in the 8th and 5th functions. Therefore they have an asymmetrical relationship where they exert a different, non-symmetric influence on another another. The INFj is a
Benefactor
to an ISFp, but an ISFp is a
Beneficiary
to an INFj.

Intertype Relations by Filatova
Relations vs. Relationships
¶
It is common for people to get into the habit of equating intertype interaction (or ‘relations,’ as it is usually called) with the more everyday concept of relationship. Here is what
Aleksandr Bukalov
and Olga Karpenko of the
International Institute of Socionics
had to say about the difference between information interaction between types and relationships:
A.B. - Anyway, Aushra wrote several more works, such as The Socion, The Theory of Intertype Relations, and lengthy descriptions of several types, where she examined in detail how the information model of the psyche works for each type, how intertype relations work and how they manifest themselves — or, to be precise, “intertype information interaction,” out of which, on a subjective level, arise relationships. That’s how we’ve formulated it in recent years.
O.K. - In order to separate relationships from their information component.
A.B. - Yes, information interaction and how relationships feel subjectively are not exactly the same. Aushra mixed the two, but that’s natural.
[1]
Many socionics hobbyists eventually come to realization that congruence of TIMs, or types of information metabolism, does not translate to developing a close intimate relationships or romantic feelings for another person. The table of intertype relations can be applied to different types of social interaction.
Compatibility of types of information metabolism (i.e. socionics types) also does not prevent people form ever having arguments or conflicting with one another. Having compatible types of information metabolism merely increases the chances of both people being receptive to communication with one another. Many also report that even if they enter into an argument with someone of congruent TIM they feel like they have a better understanding of where the other person is coming from than when they argue with someone of less compatible TIM.

Dichotomies
¶
A dichotomy is a binary trait that divides phenomena into one of two opposite categories. Dichotomies are a necessary attribute of any typology. For example,
Jung’s Typology
divides people using four dichotomies: extraverted / introverted, rational / irrational, thinking / feeling, and intuitive / sensing. There are 16 possible combinations of the axes or poles of these four dichotomies.
Dichotomies in Jung’s Typology and in socionics exist side by side with functional models and are generally recognized to be a result of the positioning of various
information elements
in different
functions
of the model, rather than an independent property. For example, rationality/irrationality and extroversion/introversion dichotomies are defined by the information element positioned in first function of the type, while sensing/intuition and ethics/logic dichotomies are determined by the identity of information elements found in the ego block of the type. Dichotomies are fundamentally built into the rules of information element and function positioning in model of the TIMs.
Dichotomies are applied in treatment of other key aspects of socionics, such as
intertype relations
. These influences are perhaps harder to understand, since intertype relations theory was originally built upon the interaction of IM elements rather than dichotomies. However, several contemporary socionists, such as
V. Stratievskaya
and
V. Gulenko
, apply both Jungian and Reinin dichotomies to further explain the dynamics and properties of various intertype relations, as well as expand upon such subjects in socionics as characterization of quadra and quadra progression. Smilexian socionics is another attempt to achieve descriptions that factor in dichotomous influences.
Compared to the
Myers-Briggs Typology
, socionics employs quite a few additional dichotomies. Some socionists, like
Viktor Gulenko
, integrate into their systems dichotomies from outside socionics, especially to characterize
intratype differences
.
Formal Properties
¶
All dichotomies are:
Jointly Exhaustive
- Each dichotomy can categorize all elements in its group.
Mutually Exclusive
- An element cannot fit both traits at the same time.
Dichotomies in socionics have two additional properties:
Central
- Pairs of traits have the same number of elements.
Symmetric
- Traits can be divided evenly in half by other related dichotomies
The only exception to the last two rules is the identity dichotomy, a mathematically necessary dichotomy for Reinin’s style of structure.
Type dichotomies
¶
In socionics, each type is characterized by one trait (or pole) of each
of the following 15 dichotomies. The first four are referred to as the
Jungian foundation
, and the other 11 are
referred to as
Reinin dichotomies
, named after
the socionist
Grigoriy Reinin
, who mathematically
demonstrated the existence of a total of 15 orthogonal dichotomies.
Technically speaking, the Jungian foundation is a subset of the Reinin
dichotomies, although they are given much more attention in socionics
and are not questioned.
Each Reinin dichotomy is either dependent or independent of (and hence
“orthogonal to”) each of the dichotomies in the Jungian foundation. Its
“tier” is the number that it is dependent on. This means that the number
of dichotomies in the
n
th tier must be
4
C
n
, where
C denotes
combination
.
The idea of grouping dichotomies into “tiers” seems to have come from
Dmitriy Lytov
, and not G. Reinin himself.
In 2003, a socionics research group at the laboratory of
interdisciplinary researches of The Institute of Biology and Psychology
of Humans (IBPCH) has conducted a study which attempted to test for,
characterize and substantially augment what is known about several
Reinin groups, presented actual statements made by research subjects, as
well as advance and test a number of hypotheses. Their publication can
be found here:

Function dichotomies
¶
Warning
This page or section is

. Additional contributions are needed.
Functions can be categorized according to seven dichotomies. These seven dichotomies are related in the same way the
Jungian foundation
is related to the
Reinin dichotomies
, and are thus subject to the same criticism as Reinin dichotomies. Since the seven dichotomies start as mathematical groups, they can be defined with multiple compatible definitions, depending on the author and scope. Recently, Victor Gulenko has developed the Energy Model, sometimes called Model G, in which he redefines all seven function dichotomies to focus on the flow of information within the psyche.
Function dichotomies not only clearly contrast functions in Model A, but also serve as the information metabolism basis for most of type dichotomies, including the
Jungian foundation
and the
quadra values
.
Model A function dichotomies:
Model A Function Dichotomies
¶
Mental and Vital
¶
Perhaps the most important function dichotomy is mental/vital, sometimes called conscious/unconscious. The functions in the mental ring (functions 1, 2, 3, and 4) strive to verbalize information and formulate observations and form the core of the individual’s intellectual activity. On the other hand, the functions in the vital ring (functions 5, 6, 7, and 8) tend to manifest themselves without words in the process of doing things or inadvertently in the form of spontaneous sentiments. The mental and vital rings are briefly covered in
Model A
.
Accepting and Producing
¶
Accepting/producing is a dichotomy that separates the two functions of each block of Model A. Accepting functions ‘come first’ in each block and are odd-numbered: 1, 3, 5, and 7. Producing functions ‘come second’ and are even-numbered: 2, 4, 6, and 8. Note that accepting functions are on the left in the Ego and Id, but on the right in the Super-ego and Super-id.
Originally,
Aushra Augusta
suggested that accepting functions focus on obtaining a picture of reality, and producing functions create some sort of ‘new’ product that is molded to that cross-cut of reality obtained by the accepting function.
Strong and Weak
¶

Dimensionality of functions
The Ego and Id functions are called
strong
, and the Super-ego and Super-id functions
weak
.
Strong functions
generally have a more sophisticated grasp on information, and can be used practically for the benefit of oneself and others.
Weak functions
, in contrast, tend to oversimplify data, do not usually generate conclusions on their own, and depend on help from outside sources.
The
extroverted
and
introverted
variants of an
information element
(e.g. extroverted intuition
and introverted intuition
) are different perspectives on the same sphere of activity, so it makes sense that strength in one implies strength in the other. For example, strength in accumulating data (
) implies strength in inferring structure based on that data (
).
Contact and Inert
¶

Contact and Inert Subtypes by Meged and Ovcharov
Inert
functions (1, 4, 6, 7) are those that do not integrate information from the environment; thus, the strength of these functions remain the way they are. A person does not seek guidance in these areas as they comprise the core of their natural strengths and weaknesses.
Inert functions 1 and 4 are a part of the
mental ring
; these are essentially one’s most confident strengths (
base function
) and debilitating weaknesses (
point of least resistance
). It is for this reason that strong judgments about these aspects of reality are inadvertently made.
Inert functions 6 and 7 are in the
vital ring
of a person’s psyche. An individual is hardly aware of how these functions are used. The
mobilizing function
is inert since its primary mechanism is to mobilize one’s creative function into action. Thus one’s ability to use it does not become much stronger throughout life. The
ignoring function
is inert because it is part of a person’s natural strength, just like the base function. Conscious information is limited here in favor of the
leading function
.
Contact
functions (2, 3, 5, 8) are essentially how we touch upon the environment; they adapt and integrate new experiences from the environment. These are capable of being improved over time (through ability or simply new understandings).
Contact functions 2 and 3 are in the mental ring. The
creative function
produces new information out of what is accepted by the base function. This is literally how we uniquely ‘make contact’ with the world. This has potential to grow stronger as a conscious element since it’s the Ego’s connection to reality. In the
role function
, however, information from the environment is weakly accepted
situationally
, and is
subdued
since it opposes the base function’s approach. Although it cannot truly grow in strength, where it does grow is within the individual’s subjective understanding of that aspect of reality.
Contact functions 5 and 8 are in the vital ring and strive to
unconsciously
make contact with the environment. This is indefinitely true of the
suggestive function
. Since it complements the
base function
, people unknowingly seek information related to it from the environment to strengthen its ability. It is theoretically the only way one can improve on their leading function. The
demonstrative function
makes contact with one’s environment very unconsciously; it acts with the
conscious
leading function to produce one’s unique worldview, being just as strong as the base function.
Valued and Subdued
¶
See also
Quadra values
Valued functions are essentially what make up the foundation of our socionic type (Ego functions 1 and 2), and the processes that complement that foundation (Super-id functions 5 and 6). Every person actively seeks to process information based on these functions, and warmly create a sense of connection to others who value similar functions. The more valued functions in common means the closer the general compatibility between two types. These functions are what make up the quadra values of the types.
Subdued functions are the remaining four functions that oppose our preferences; as a result we try to limit the use of these functions. The mental-subdued (weak) functions are found in the Super-ego block (functions 3 and 4), and the vital-subdued (strong) functions are in the Id block (functions 7 and 8). Since these functions are what we suppress as much as we can, in situations where we must use them they tend to produce dissatisfaction and distress in ourselves. Subdued functions are sometimes called non-valued although some socionists prefer not to use this name.
Evaluatory and Situational
¶
Evaluatory
functions are the strongest (1 and 8) and weakest (4 and 5) functions of a person’s psyche; strong judgments about areas that involve these functions are made.
Accepting-evaluatory functions, specifically the leading and suggestive, are valued by the individual. Evaluations made here are taken seriously, as they compose the center of one’s personality. In the leading function lies the core of their evaluations and decisions and so remains firmly inert; information accepted in the complementary suggestive function is also evaluated by an individual, but being weak and still yet valued, it strives to make contact with the environment to develop.
Producing-evaluatory functions are subdued by the individual; evaluations are produced here only when information cannot be processed by valued accepting functions and are instead processed by our subdued accepting functions. Since the information produced in these areas are subdued, evaluations are generally negative but nonetheless firm. This is especially true of the vulnerable function. As for the demonstrative function, evaluations are produced in favor of one’s creative function, so it is taken less seriously even though an individual is quite sophisticated in that area.
Situational
functions are accessed on a case-by-case basis, so decisions and judgments made in these areas are more or less inclined to remain constant.
Accepting-situational functions (3 and 7) are subdued and only accept information in cases where the data accepted cannot be confidently evaluated by one’s valued accepting functions. In the role function, information is accepted consciously but is subdued as it opposes the base function. It’s also a contact function, which is why it is seen as somewhat of an importance to an individual, but definitely not emphasized. In the ignoring function, information is accepted even moreso on a situational basis because a person is strong in this area but neglects it over their preferred strength in the base function. Information is mostly ignored here and instead accepted by one’s suggestive function.
Producing-situational functions (2 and 6) are situational since they only produce information that has been accepted by our valued-evaluatory functions. One’s creative function produces strong and valued information that must make contact with the environment for their ego to be heard. However, new information is only produced in situations the base function can accept information. One’s mobilizing function is inert, weak and valued, so information produced here isn’t quite understood consciously but still acts as a driver for the creative function.
Understanding this function dichotomy is integral in fully realizing how types metabolize information as it forms the “information pathway” that connects our Model A together.
Bold and Cautious
¶
Bold
functions are used more freely than cautious functions, sometimes even in a way that makes a subdued function more heavily used than a valued function (e.g. role and suggestive functions). This may be considered an aspect of function strength.
For extroverts, all extroverted elements are Bold functions, and all introverted elements Cautious. Conversely, introverts have Bold introverted functions and Cautious extroverted functions. The reason for this is that a type is more comfortable with their preferred direction of energy (“-tim”), and even the weak-bold functions are used with a considerable amount of confidence (whether it is just to put on a show or is naively used). In contrast, one’s Cautious functions are used with great care - the creative function is more sensitive to criticism even though it is a strong function, for example. This especially applies to the vulnerable function, where one is especially cautious about its use.
Verbal and Nonverbal
¶
Verbal
(
discursive
) functions (or overvalued) belong to Ego and Super-Id blocks. These are functions (1, 2, 5, 6). They provide the active exchange of information between people. Information on these functions is interesting, and easily discussed. They tend to self-development.
Non-verbal
(
working
,
cooperative
) functions belong to Super-ego and Id blocks. These are functions (3, 4, 7, 8). Aspects of these functions are not negotiable, prefer to receive help through action, deeds. Activity is limited to immediate needs and demands of society.
Exterior and Interior
¶
Exterior
(constant) - Functions 1, 3, 6, 8. These are accepting functions of the mental ring and producing functions of the vital ring. Functions that contain aspects of one color - black for extroverts and white for introverts. It is characteristic for them to consider certain aspects to be part of an invariable essence of the world, and strive to leave them in the form in which they are. External changes are perceived as something inevitable but not characteristic.
Interior
(variable) - Functions 2, 4, 5, 7. These are producing functions of the mental ring and accepting functions of the vital ring. These functions tend to see in their aspects elements that should be changed in the first place. They are either actively influencing the world or passively expecting changes from it.
Blocks
¶
Blocks are pairs of functions that share certain properties.
Any two function dichotomies can intersect to create four blocks in the same way two type dichotomies can intersect and create four small groups. By far, the most common and widely used blocks are Augusta’s Ego, Super-Ego, Id and Super-Id, but the theory of dimensional functions is also relatively popular.
Augusta’s Blocks
¶
Ego Block
¶
The Ego block is a socially demonstrative, creative block that forms the core of the TIM and is usually associated with an individual’s ego - their inner “I”. This is an area of conscious competence and individualism, as well as conscious and active observation and influence on the world. A person is usually the most confident, informed, and energetically active on their Ego block functions. On this block, we rarely experience feelings of remorse, doubt, and shame; neither does this block shift responsibilities or blame onto others.
The Ego block comprises a point of accurate self-assessment and demands social recognition that is adequate to its abilities. The activities of the functions of this block are socially direced - people easily share their experience and lend help to others from their Ego block. The functions in this block rarely “get tired”, thus a person can fill in most of their free time by activities pertaining to the functions of this block. Often people pick their primary sphere of activity and occupation basing on the functions of the Ego block.
The Ego block is believed to be fully formed by the time a person reaches 24-25 years of age. Some socionists have noticed that this observation coincides with C. G. Jung’s commentary: “The first half of [a person’s] life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.”
Note
It should be noted that while this is the strongest block of a TIM, the accuracy and correctness of its estimates is strongly influenced by a person’s level of experience, knowledge, and intelligence. It is quite possible for the Ego block functions to make mistakes. Still, a person rarely feels deeply ashamed or inadequate on this block even if they’ve blundered, and usually recovers quickly and with ease.
The two functions of the Ego Block, the leading function and the creative one, are said to constitute the “formula of the type”. These are the most independent and confident functions. Activity of this block always carries an unfinished, open-ended nature. On this block a person says: “I know what I need the best. If some changes or improvements are needed, I will implement them without outside help.”
Super-ego Block
¶
This block is known as the block of “social control” and the block of “social conformism”. It can be likened to the “social conscience” of an individual: this block’s activity is directed primarily at fulfillment of norms and standards that other people set for the individual. Any evaluations and instructions on this block the individual seeks external to himself, from other people who surround him or her; here the individual “surrenders” himself to the direction and control of others from his social milieu, consciously admitting the weakness of own Super-ego functions. The absence of “painful irritation” on 4th vulnerable function is considered to be a sign that the individual satisfies and meets the expectations of others; each person wishes that his or her understanding of the 4th vulnerable aspect would coincide with the “public opinion”. According to interpretations of some socionics sources, this is the block through which a society controls a person.
Direct influences on Super-ego block are typically the most consciously discomforting to a person. At the same time, the person is consciously aware of his or her weaknesses in this area, and realizes that he or she must make up and react somehow. This reaction, as a rule, comes from the strong functions of their Ego block. Thus, influences on the Super-ego block make a person mobilize and consciously activate the functions of his or her Ego block for a further response.
The Super-ego block never argues; it only reasons not adding anything new but only tallying up all that is known to the individual on its aspects. This block is “omnivorous” and readily absorbs all information that pertains to its aspects, at the same time showing a subpar differentiation of information.
In some literature this block is referred to as the “teenager” block - from this block the person tries to show to others: “I’m just like you. I am one of your own.” - which is reminiscent of socialization style of people in their teenage years, when a person tries to show their belonging to a particular peer group. It is also believed that this block fully forms during adolescent years (12-18).
Super-id Block
¶
The Super-id block is sometimes called the “child” block in socionics literature, because this is the block of weak unconscious functions on which it is difficult to engage in active, conscious, purposeful activity. A person most often is a “consumer” of information on this block, readily absorbing any related information from others, and even provoking others to produce such information, which is best accomplished by their dual TIM. At the same time, a person poorly discerns information on this block, and tends to be overly trusting of the arguments and evaluations provided by others. This is especially descriptive of the suggestive function, which has been called “suggestive” because a person is too suggestible, malleable, and easily directed on this element, having weak ability to evaluate incoming information on this function.
In general, people need extensive advice and support on the aspects of their Super-id bock, which they typically receive from others who have these information aspects as part of their Ego block. To think for oneself and resolve problems independently on this block the person “hasn’t the time” and little understanding of own wishes and needs; thus a person usually gives a lot of freedom to others, including their partner, over these aspects.
Having little awareness of one’s own needs on this block, the person does not pose their own interests on this block in opposition to others; certain victimness and sacrificial behavior can be observed on this block, as well as a need for external regulation and control. If a person does not receive support and high quality positive advice on these aspects, and experiences inadequacy on own suggestive and activating functions, a feeling of “blaming others” begins to develop over this block. In this case, a person start accusing people around for not living up to his expectations, withdrawing from society, and placing all responsibility on others. (As an example: An elderly lonely ILE man was no longer able to sufficiently take care of his living quarters, where he also kept a monkey as a pet and company. As the items and trash accumulated in his flat, and he started receiving complaints from other residents of the complex, he blamed them and his neighbors for not helping him out with upkeep and maintenance of his apartment.)
Id Block
¶
Passive skills - a person is quite capable on this block, but these skills are directed at prevention of negative moments and dangerous developments rather that active and conscious self-realization. The person has little awareness of what he is capable of on this block and little interest in it. The main function of this block is watching out for potential dangers and pitfalls, satisfaction of one’s base level of needs, and ensuring one’s own survival and survival of close people. Other types of activities on this block are usually of no interest to a person and don’t bring results of high social value and merit. A person is typically unable to constantly work on the aspects of this block, since this requires placing restrictions on one’s Ego block, constant self-scrutiny and self-criticism.
The Id block is a “kinetic energy” block same as the Ego block. These are the blocks of of decisive and persistent activity that doesn’t know shame and uncertainty - unlike the blocks of Super-ego and Super-id that are “potential energy” blocks on which a person often experiences doubt and worries.

Jungian foundation
¶
The
Jungian foundation
(
базис Юнга
in Russian) refers to the original four dichotomies proposed by
Jung
and adapted somewhat by
Augusta
:
Extraversion / Introversion
(sometimes called ‘Extratim / Introtim’)
Sensing / Intuition
(Sensing is sometimes called ‘Sensory’)
Ethical / Logical
Rational / Irrational
(occasionally called ‘Shizotyme / Cyclotyme’ or ‘Rigid / Labile’)
One trait of each dichotomy is dominant for each type. Any combination of these traits is possible, producing 16 types (24 = 16). Two of Jung’s dichotomies – rational/irrational and extraverted/introverted – are uniform across all types. In other words, an IEE is just as extraverted (in the Jungian sense!) as an SLE. The other two dichotomies – sensing/intuitive and ethical/logical – are non-uniform. In other words, an ESE is not sensing in the same way that an SEE is, and an ILI is “more” intuitive than an LIE. |
