Socionics identifies 16 personality types and all these types are divided into 4 dichotomies:
- Logic - Ethics.
- Intuition - Sensory.
- Rationality - Irrationality.
- Extraversion - Introversion.
With the help of these dichotomies the pronounced characteristics of people are determined. The presented dichotomies are distributed on quadras. Each quadra is dominated by a different atmosphere. For example, trustworthiness, sense of humor and sexuality. Well, let's look at each of the 16 personality types in detail.
How were the nicknames formed?
Aushra studied biographies of historical figures and related the dichotomies to their personalities. Since at that time literature was not so popular and accessible, many descriptions do not match the characterization of famous personalities. Therefore, the Institute of Socionics, is now conducting research and adjusting the final results.
