Hey I'm am very excited to read You're great Rick!

I thank you for your efforts, time, resources and patience in building this site and making socionics more accessible to non-Russian speakers(even though it's great to know as many languages, Russian isn't quite on the top of my list, at least not now).

The way you structured everything is really useful and all the articles with subjects that I couldn't find anywhere else where of great deal for me(and I'm assuming for others as well).My only problem(at least at the level I understood it till now)is how does one's physical features(from birth) relate to his type. Hope we do see some of the new info you found.

Cheers!

Hey Rick, I love your site-- you keep the categories relevant, applicable, and practical. I was particularly intrigued by your use of the word "postulates" in the Socionics blog (in reference to Ti). I had to look up what it meant and it's perfect for describing the irritating Ti tendency to make up rules (I have an LII friend, we get into a lot of fights. I've known him for a long time, but sometimes I can't stand him!). I was just wondering what you've been up to ...the site hasn't been updated in a while, and I know it's unfair that you're solely responsible for providing reliable Socionics knowledge to the Western English-speaking world (especially with your Ne need to pursue other projects), so I'm not going to protest or complain. I just wanted to thank you for your contributions (I read and re-read your website and always find something new to think about or some improvement on my understanding of humanity) and wish you well (wherever you are).

Hey I'm am very excited to read every word this site has. I am engaged to my super-ego pair and until your site had only read negative things. This has been a breath of fresh air. At first, I tried to run from the truth socionics brings to our relationship. But recently have realized I must embrase it and know all there is to know in order to really understand us. My best friend of 23 yrs (I'm 25) is my Dual, and I now understand us so much better. I can't wait to absorb this entire page and wish you all the best. Hopefully this movement will gain as much or more momentum as it has in Russia, here in the West. :) Thank you!

Wonderful!

This whole thing is brilliant! Especially all of the information I've gotten off of Wikisocion. It is an enormous improvement of MBTI theory and shifts that into a whole new direction which is enlightenment. I can see how much this is still being developed, but I have seen tremendous progress. I can easily compare myself and others to every description I have found on here and they are all incredibly accurate. It is the most accurate personality theory adaptation I have ever read!

I've shown friends who have looked at MBTI and they have told me how stunningly different Socionics is from that. An IEI who is not at all into basing logical explanations from outside sources tells me that he is a perfect IEI just from reading the descriptions on Wikisocion. Everything matches up! It's tremendously informative, and I have not clue as to how you theorists collected all of these extremely accurate stereotypes.

It's rich in detail, it explains so much of outer and inner word structures, and the functions finally make sense. I have been trying to prove to so many others that all Ps have primary P functions, and J for Js. I am an INTp, and Introverted Intuition is the correct match, because anyone as an INTp would know that we are quite absent minded yet connected in time and possibility, and we, along with our INFp relative, live in an extremely deep mysterious world of our own, and we are quite unlike others. The other personalities are perfectly clear and matching with accordance as well. There is no doubt of that! I have been reading and reading.

It takes true brilliance to make this come alive, and I say I am enthralled by clarity's arrival. Thank you Socionics.

hey rick!

great job on this site! i've been very interested in socionics for a good deal of time now and this site has helped me understand concepts that were formerly unclear to me. thanks so much, and keep up the great work!

Thanks for the reference site in portuguese/spanish and other languages, it's also pointed me to a contact in the University of Sao Paulo here in Brazil. Albert Petrov. It's good to know there's somebody closer to home.

I'm about to conclude a specialization in psychodrama, my chosen line/school of psychology, wich also has a bit of a unique development here in Brazil and somewhat in the U.S. and Europe. The theory is pretty much socially based, also called socionomy, by the original author Jacob Levy Moreno of Austria who latter moved to the United States. It's focal point is also relationships, but the basis is phenomenological-existencial, and not biological at all. On the whole this is a good thing, as most western theories focus on the human being as a biological individual ignoring relationships, groups, society, etc. However, although I do not apreciate this oversight by other theories, psychodrama's oversight of evolutionary concepts, biological and individual traits doesn't fit my view either. It's a flaw I'd like to work on, and socionics shows potential for this. So it's also in my interest that socionics develops itself and validades itself more and more. I guess this is my first step to contributing, but I'm taking to self-centered approach so as not to become a corpse.

On a more general note, psychodrama here in Brazil has passed through a lot of the stages socionics currently faces, such as divergent schools, quasi-mystical approaches, association with the divine, lack of empiricism. Somehow we managed to pull it off, and psychodrama is recognized as a scientific approach of psychology in Brazil and recognized as valid theory by the Brazilian Federal Psychology Council. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of groups that retain their non-scientific roots and there is a lot of cotagion. I guess a theory can become scientific, but that doesn't garantee that the professionals will remember how or why.

Thank you very much for your site. i've been reading it for a while, and every time can't wait to get something more.

Keep doing that!

I think this is the only site with so much information in english (too bad my russian is poor:)

By the way, i'm from Latvia, and this science here isn't very popular, although i think it should be tought in schools as well- to rise understanding among people and help everybody to find their own talants.

I have been thinking very much that this typology system would be very helpful for students to chose right profession. As i know there already are some tests to find out types, but do they include that every person still has their own specific interests which would be important at the moment one chose profession.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks...

I have studied for socionics for some time now. I even had a phase where I hated 'certain' types because I had bad encounters with them and did not understand their inner workings. I have matured a bit since then, and have come to a better understanding of what it is and its purpose. I just wanted to tell you that I feel your site provides huge insight into not only the theory behind socionics and the practicality, but also the cause of socionics. Keep up the great work. Hopefully it will catch on more in North America.

I currently live in military barracks with a friend from Moldova. He said his parents regard it as voodoo, but I suppose he has neglected to have had the privlage to see practicality in it. None the less I feel it is a science that is constantly improving and is still in its infancy.

Thank you for your contributions, your site helped me understand the abstract theory behind functions a lot more.

P.S. I think SLI's are the best at VI naturally. I have been VIng for a while and am getting quite good at typing on the spot now.

Very informative and I appreciate the attention given to some of the problems and inconsistencies of socionists. You're all trying to provide such a great service and expand human understanding, but the contradictory and confusing information (not to mention the language barrier) have caused some consternation. I always appreciate the fact that you addressed some of the bias in common descriptions of Sensory types and the sensing functions, particularly introverted sensing. I look forward to reading more of your descriptions of "type messages".

Even with considerable help from an individual whom I have little/no contact with anymore I've had to learn the hard-way, and am now pleased someone has gone the extra mile in translating information into readable and understandable English. I could only dream of such a resource being available in this fashion 7 years ago.

Information on the web until now has been a mine-field. Ranging from incisive to downright incorrect. At least now, others whose native tongue is not Russian will benefit, and so too will the world as a whole.

Congratulations.

I just want to thank you for creating this site. Its been almost 2 years since i discovered socionics and sites like the16types.info and I've been waiting to read some real information in english and not trying to interpret the automatic translations of the russian sites (although I'm a Bulgarian and I can read russian to some extent) Basically you're the socionics Messiah which i've been waiting for! :P honestly i got a little bit sick of ILE/LII speculations on the basics of socionics theory (because of the lack of the good articles in english explaining them) which prolly can be related to my IEI nature but it doesn't matter anymore. thank you again!

Hi Rick,

Thank you very much for creating this website. I like it and I am going to use it to learn new info and will recommend to my friends.

I am interested in everything about socionics but especially in morality, of course. I would love to do what you did, to go Ukraine for study but it is not possible. So, I do appreciate what you do.
