Varlawend: Mysteries Among the Stars

Structural Organization of Socion Socion is the most complex communicative object of all that socionics explores.  Socion is not a monolithic structure, it is a moving whole, which at different times and in different situations has a different organization.  However, this statement does not mean that among all the diverse states of socion there are no preferred, more precisely, energetically more favorable in the long term. In any case, the organizational chart of socion has two parts - energy and information.  Any socionic object, both individual and collective, is subject to the laws of energy-informational exchange.  Moreover, in some socionic groups the energy principle prevails, in others - the informational one.  In each of the groups, types are arranged according to their group roles.  To do this, you need to figure out which type will be the first number - the leader of the group, making the main decisions, who the second number - the implemen...

Small groups in socionics F. Shekhter, L. Kobrinskaya. Report at the All-Union Conference "Socionics - purposeful formation of collectives", Poltava, April 1988. Published: "16", 1991, No. 1 (5), p.  13-21;  repeatedly: "Socionics" (newsletter), Kiev - Novosibirsk, 1990, No. 1, p.  47-51;  repeatedly: SMiPL, 1997, No. 1. The problem of relationships in the team is one of the main in modern psychology.  The purposeful formation of collectives is impossible without solving this problem within the framework of a particular psychological system. Socionics, which is a kind of synthesis of various psychological systems, theories and typologies, provides by far the most simple and original method of forming work collectives and other social groups with a pre-planned task, i.e.  purposefully. The typology of "small groups" is one of the relevant sections of socionics.  The study of "small groups" gives us the key to the further p...

About the different nature of your images First of all, I will mention that figurative perception according to socionics is an irrational scheme for constructing the psyche.  Consequently, imagery will mean sensory or intuitive phenomena of mental life.  If we are talking about abstract images, we mean images that are intuitive, speculative and virtual, not materially embodied. On the other hand, intuitive images can be divided into fantastic, phantom, ghostly, images - dreams or images-memories.  They are closely related to dreams.  These are "images-like."  I designate them as  T-images  , since they are a product of the intuition of time.  They are opposed by images-ideas, entities, "images-what."  Images of this type are aimed at the external real world, and not at the world of internal fantasies.  They are generated by intuition of opportunities and carry a great innovative potential.  In other words, these are  I-...

The main contradiction of modern socionics Opening remarks word on the meeting of the SHS on June 7, 2008 1. In addition to the external difficulties that modern socionics have encountered, there are still more serious difficulties, splitting and weakening the socionic movement from within.  The internal tension in socionics is slowly but steadily increasing. 2. What is the source of this voltage?  - The  contradiction between the humanitarian and technical poles  in socionic knowledge  comes to the forefront more than ever  . It slightly resembles the confrontation between the technocratic pressure of the West, atomizing and alienating people, and the ancient wisdom of the East, uniting and supporting people through their inclusion in a harmonious system of social relations, where everyone has a worthy place.  (Watching a video interview with C.K. Jung). Unfortunately, our contemporaries took the worst from the west - greed and combined it...

Holistic Diagnostics Answer to the questions of Andrei Timoshkov (Krasnoyarsk) A holistic object or phenomenon is one that, by definition, cannot be completely formalized.  Because formalization is, first of all, analysis, or anti-synthesis, as I call it in the quaternary dialectic series.  Here is the series: thesis - antithesis - synthesis - antisynthesis.  Any formalization dissects, and therefore destroys integrity. The criteria you are asking for can be tracked, but there are a lot of them.  In addition, they are intertwined.  After all, we are talking not only about a multidimensional diagnostic object, but also about the multidimensional situation in which this object is located.  The minimal format of socionic analysis is four criteria of the object itself and four criteria of the situation around it.  But this is only  in statics and these are just socionic criteria.  But non-socionic criteria, such as gender, age, profession...

Jack came out with a brief video on why Model G is "unnecessary", in his own words. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDdDFlIZ4Js My response: As for his choice of critical term, unnecessary: lots of people consider Socionics and typology "unnecessary" in themselves.  So I'd ask, unnecessary to what?  Of course, there are a variety of research programs in Socionics.  Vladimir Ledin addresses this in his paper on some paradigm differences between schools, which is copied on this blog somewhere for reference.  And to certain research programs, say to the School of System Socionics or perhaps equally to WSS, maybe Model G IS unnecessary.  That's because it probably doesn't align with their axioms or assumptions, and it might even require an approach which would force an examination or abandonment of certain assumptions and thus the confidence in those research programs.  Questioning assumptions frightens people like little else since these are often thi...
