currently classic socionics (model A) pilled asf and i might just be this way for a looong time. it is a psychosocial model developed in eastern europe about how different kinds of information are differentiated in distinct general patterns, metabolized, communicated and received between individuals. i think it is extremely fascinating, elegant, and has proven itself to me in real life as a reliable and useful thought tool to frame my insight about people’s nature, but also that of self-insight and self-awareness of my reactions. it has put into words concepts i haven’t been able to find the words for beforehand and thus enables me to retrospectively pinpoint exactly what unconsciously makes people feel more at ease with other people, or why communication is just easier with some people and why its harder with others, regardless of any other factors. i’m sure you’ll find it probably has an answer for “why am i like this” embedded in it. if you want to learn it yourself, i recommend SCS’s resources being the place to start because it is the closest to augusta’s original vision. in both theory and practice i find SCS to be the most logically sound, accurate and holistically comprehensive. this is definitely one of those things i think more people should at least take a look at, so i put it here. who knows?

i would consider myself an expert in model A, so if you have any questions you can feel free to hit me up. i’ve helped find the links between some concepts in socionics model A that weren’t fully substantiated in augusta’s original works, specifically the importance of the asking/declaring reinin dichotomy, how it fits with regard to the rest of model A’s structure, how it underpins the ring of social benefit (which was missing from augusta’s writing), and how it can be used as an information element charge just like positivist/negativist can (i.e. all process types have positive asking Ne (+Ne?) and all result types have negative declaring Ne (-Ne!)). i’m still working on transfering my essay on that to a document.

[OLD] my mbti typing doc — good for an in-depth neo-jungian understanding of mbti typing if you fw that…. i prefer classic socionics now though as it is much more deeply clarifying for self-understanding, insight, and application.
