Type theory and socionic: are the complementary theories?

by 1socionics1

Article published on 21 February 2018

A large number of researchers and practitioners in USA and Western Europe use MBTI which is a type theory tool in their works. Research works are carried out in socionics in Russia and Ukraine and their discoveries are used in practice. Both these theories have been formed based on C.G. Jung’s theory. The author of the article discovered that both theories are essentially the same doctrine of the individual and complement each other and are in no way contradictory. Globalization processes offer researchers worldwide the opportunity to mutually benefit and enrich themselves if only they are ready to avail these opportunities.

Techniques for dealing with one-dimensional functions

by irina_eglit

Article published on 19 December 2015

Techniques of dealing with negative control emotions of one-dimensional functions are described. These techniques have been elaborated in the course of the practical work of the SSS experts.

socionics, type of informational metabolism of the psyche, one-dimensional function, control emotions

Faced with reaction of our one-dimensional functions, we usually want to get rid of this existential "inconvenience." Clearly, people would like to be fully developed persons, have no weaknesses, and so on.

What I do not recommend doing [in order to become a fully developed person] - is the so-called "overexercise" of the one-dimensional functions, intensively pumping them up with experience, overloading them with work or subjecting them to (...)

TIM Models descriptions

by victor piatnitski

Article published on 4 December 2015

Descriptions presented in this section, unlike descriptions made by other authors, attempt to isolate particulars related to differeces of personal story factors from the specific TIM-related characteristics. It is an effort to present descriptions of the TIM models, rather than descriptions of particular representatives of the TIMs.

socionics type, type description, TIM, model description, socionics

The abstract А-Model has 16 different instance models, each of them define a particular type of information metabolism (TIM). Altogether there are 16 instance models of information processing, hence, 16 TIMs. This section contains descriptions of these 16 models.

A TIM model - is a formula that describes in its formal language characteristics of the information processing by the psyche. Although a TIM model is accurate, it is presented in a (...)

The quanting of the collective information space

by A.Bukalov

Article published on 3 December 2015

The socionics, being an information metabolism theory, is able to describe the psychoinformation spaces of the mentality of person, collective or ethnos by the models A or B. The existence of the information metabolism discrete functions determines the necessity of the quanting of the described information space. Such quanting can be revealed by the social roles of some groups, selected in collective or society (as well as in state, ethnos or set of ethnoses, in human civilization in general).
From this point of view the detailed distribution of roles has to be correspondent to the socionics A-model.

Two qubits for C.G. Jung’s theory of personality

by 1socionics1

Article published on 3 December 2015

We propose a formalization of C.G. Jung’s theory of personality using a four-dimensional Hilbert-space for the representation of two qubits. The first qubit relates to Jung’s four psychological functions: Thinking, Feeling, Sensing and iNtuition, which are represented by two groups of projection operators, T, F and S, N. The operators in each group are commuting but operators of different groups are not. The second qubit represents Jung’s two perspectives of extraversion and introversion. It is shown that this system gives a natural explanation of the 16 psychological types that are defined in the Jungian tradition. Further, the system accounts for the restriction posed by Jung concerning the possible combination of psychological functions and perspectives. The empirical consequences of the present theory are discussed, and the results of a pilot study are reported with the aim to check some basic predictions of the theory. In addition, it is shown why the present praxis of personality diagnostics based on classical statistics is insufficient

Theatre Teams Assembled Using Personality Profiles Can Improve Predicted Teamworking Scores

by 1socionics1

Article published on 3 December 2015

Many organisations have realised the growing importance of teamworking and communication skills within their workforce. Teams that function well together tend to be more productive, dynamic and emotionally content. Highstress professions, particularly those in the aviation industry, have recognised the importance of teamworking, not only for error reduction but also for successful outcomes in crisis situations. This has led to a wealth of psychological research into many aspects of team interactions. Numerous independent organisations now utilise psychological profiling techniques to predict how their employees will perform in a team situation. In addition, a wealth of companies offer various types of team training, specifically designed to improve the interactions between employees.

Development of nuclear education standards

by 1socionics1

Article published on 3 December 2015

If we analyze the causes of severe accidents in the world nuclear industry, we find in most cases common root causes: project deficiency, human error. The fundamental remedy of these root causes is only possible through improvement of nuclear education. Development of the nuclear education standards for the nuclear industry staff and the certification system for teaching staff are proposed. Recommendations with mandatory for the nuclear industry staff disciplines, appropriate knowledge and skills were developed. Propositions for the principles and structure of the certification system for teaching staff are formulated. The risk of emergency situations and accidents in nuclear industry will be significantly reduced.

Nuclear Education, Education Standard, Training, Certification

Safety culture should be studied as a generalization, systematization discipline at the end of the course.

All of listed above categories - industry staff - should have knowledge of: The structure of the nuclear industry and the general information on nuclear facilities; Safety management techniques based on risk assessments; The basic concepts of socionics and sociometry; Procedures for the analysis of violations at nuclear power plants (...)
