Socionics: what is it?


Have you ever noticed that your friends are pretty similar in some aspects, do you know that being a sociopath is not an illness, it is just a condition? Have you heard such terms as extraversion and introversion? Did you know that even Dostoyevsky mentioned some basics of it in his books? If you are now interested, just watch this video.



Interested even more? Pass this test and find out what is your socionic type.LINK TO TEST
  • Have you ever heard of socionics?
  • What sociotype are you?
  • Do you think it is a science or just a tale?

I took a test and according to this I'm SLI-2Te SiTe (ISTp), which is very appropriate and I agree with most of the description. It's science at its finest - psychology in fact, as it shouldn't be doubtful that we can create image of a human based on a few questions asked.

Interesting test, I'm SLE , really about me :)
I think It's psychology :) This test has questions from examples from life everyone. After pass this test, you can see psychology picture of yourself

It is not a psychology, it is a science based on humans' attitude

Even more of it! After taking the test you can find out how people with your sociotype communicate with other types.
No,i have never heard about socionics, but so interesting topic, good job.
i took a test,and i'm ESE and i don't agree with that. Even the fact, that i answered honestly, gives controversial result.
If i said that it is a tale, you would try to convince me, but i hope, that there is a small percentage of truth exists.
To conclude, i would say, that there are a huge amount of test like this and every 2nd will show different results.

No, I haven't heard about 'socionics', but I've heard about terms like introversion and extraversion. I didn't take a test, because I always consider this type of tests tendencial and I feel like I know what to choose to get a particular result. Without it I can tell that I consider myself rather an introvert than extravert. I think that it's not a tale, but in some degree it's a bit generalising. You cannot divide all people into two groups: introverts and extraverts. I believe that people have so many different characters and attitudes towards life that these two groups cannot fit them all.

I have not heard about socionics before.

I have taken the test and the result was ESFJ and ESFP (with equal number of points). I have never thought about myself as a bonvivant politician but who knows? I need to go home and rethink my life :)

There is a profound dispute about whether psychology and sociology can be considered science. I do not know enough about socionics' models, assumptions behind them and the statistics involved to comment on it.

There are lots of similar tests that doesn`t really show anything. They are made in such a way that every result will make the illusion of that the result of the test more or less describes your personality.
I have passed the test and got directly the same answer and result that I am getting from other social tests. I think passing this kind of test is useless.
Personally I can`t call this a science, for me it is more like a tale, well written tale, because a lot of people who passed such test trust in it result.

Five years ago, when I was still in high school, a lot of girls from my class was so into it. It is really hard to tell, can it be called science, because in science you usually work with precise values, and how precise can that values be if we are talking about human mind? Of course, it has some reasonable basis, but still, it can't factorize all variables and even those, that are factorized, are to abstract.

Never heard of it. Looks interesting and looks like i am ESI ISFj. Quite accurate. Thank you for introducing me this theory.

I have heard about socionics but in fact I don’t use it for my dayli life so don’t remember it very well.
I feel rather like extravert human but now I start to think about it and I see that if it comes to my whole life I see certain way of my life where I’m like introvert.
For me it’s sure that socionics it’s a science. I see that it’s true but maybe I can’t use it in my life.
I have heard about it some time ago. It's really interesting.
I'm ISFP and INFP. INFP more but I have something in common with ISFP.
I don't know it is a science or a tale... Many people says that it really describes them so maybe it is a science?

I have never heard about socionics but this test is very good. I like it!
The result said that I'm ESFJ and that can be truth. Questions were really life-affecting.
For me, socionics can be a science.

I took the test, although I prefer the one at:
https://www.16personalities.com/
as the one from the article, well.. It "reeks of quality", especially the textarea with question xD.
Turned out I'm ISTP/ESTJ type, which seem to correspond to some part of my personality. One part was especially true- living "now". I hate setting distant goals and when someone tells me about "bright distant future" (i.e. the famous "dis paper wil giv u 15k/month netto, even without job experience", if you know what I mean >;D) and I'm much more focused on doing tasks within time distance of 2 weeks, rather than one year.
Socionics might be a science, but it's more of a philosophy, that "we can categorize people based on what checkboxes they tick in a test".
I have no idea about my socionic type because I'm pretty sure that internet tests cant help me to identify it. So im pretty sure that that's some kind of placebo and if u trust for results of this test , it can force u to do or don't do some thinks

I have not heard about socionics before but it is quite interesting. I took the test and it shows that I am ESFP. I am not sure that it is true but maybe it is something in it? I will try to find more about this topic. :)

It's might be attractive idea to think about people as particular groups and treat there behavior accordingly but I think it just not possible to divide people in such a way since even if they behave in some manner you don't know for sure what is the reason behind and thus you can't predict future until you actually know the person.
Yes, I have heard about socionics, but I don't find it interesting or helpful.
My sociotype is ENTP-A - "The Debater personality type is the ultimate devil’s advocate, thriving on the process of shredding arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift in the wind for all to see. ". I am not sure that I am "the debater", but there are some similarities between me and this personality. In my opinion, it's a very strange test, but overall, it's rather curious to find out results.
Personally, I don't think it's a science, on the other hand, it's also not just a tale.

Never heard of socionics before. Sounds like a new name for the old thing, psychology. I couldn't go through the test you provided as it was too hard to understand the questions in english. I don't know what sociotype I am but I've done MBTI test (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) some time ago which Rafał mentioned. Turned out to be INTJ/INFJ/INFP. It's all fun and games to take such a test but in reality it's not so simple and labeling people with determined categories is oversimplyfing.
1. Obviously, I’ve heard, because I am very interested in psychology. In my opinion such knowledge is a base of professional cooperation at work and wealthy relationships at home.

2. I am extrovert, sensory, logical, rational type. I did that test many years ago and I was surprised with the results, because my opinion about myself didn’t correspond to the socionics analysis, which summarized my skills and features, giving me unexpected feedback, describing me as a person with “director’s talents”.

3. This is science, definitely. The analysis of our behavior and preferences, decisions’ motivations gained together give us total information explaining everyday behavior. This is very interesting knowledge, when you study this and try to understand it, it may be brilliant tool helping you in life and in interactions with other people, in both professional and private relationships.

Week 11 [03-09.06.2019] The problem with ecological cars emission in UK

The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust.   The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog.   What is smog?   Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds often come fr

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and naturally.
