A brief consideration of 4 directions in modern Socionics that I have encountered, and their possible advantages and disadvantages.  This does not purport to come close to a whole survey of what any version of Socionics has to offer. 4 versions: -Archetype Center: Timur Protsky -Humanitarian Socionics: Victor Gulenko -World Socionics Society: Jack Oliver Aaron -Talanova Questionnaires: Victor Talanov Archetype Center Possible Advantages: ***Semantics of functions in speech are seemingly very clearly distinguished and you can even observe it in written work so it is a very flexible method in its usage. -Possible Counterpoints: How much investigation has really gone into the reliability and stability of the semantics in speech?  Can we check our perceptions in the present and how consistent they are over time in some more rigorous way?  In using semantics, they have to use language, so have they considered critiques of languages such as those of Witt...

One interesting connection that occurred to me recently regarding Psyche Yoga/Psychosophy/Attitudinal Psyche is that it connects very neatly with the four traditional elements and with the four suits of the Tarot. Will = Fire = Wands Volition: The attitude towards personal energy, willpower, power, identity, confidence, desired goals, overcoming obstacles, self-control, responsibility and obligations. Emotion=Water=Cups Emotion: The attitude towards emotional reactions, feelings, experiences, intuition, relationships, culture, artistic expression, music, entertainment, and deep desires. Logic=Air=Swords Logic: The attitude towards all logical thinking, analyses, knowledge, erudition, opinions, proofs, arguments, the search for truth, scientific research of the meaning of life. Physics=Earth=Disks Physics: The attitude towards all material things: looks, food, belongings, money, aesthetic, comfort, physical care and practical skills...

A lot of info in this article translated from:  https://typologies.ru/psycheyoga/progress-ring.htm In accordance with the principles of the PY-type model, between the blocks, functions, as well as within the functions, there is a constant interaction, which is the transfer of control to a block, function or component that has the characteristics necessary to solve the problem. That is, in the model there is a certain algorithm, phasic. But the type is not an isolated system, but is an element of a higher level system - the rings of the social cycle. The social cycle ring includes 24 types, combined into 6 sextas (groups of social progress), ensuring the evolutionary development of society. The social cycle is an evolutionary period that includes 6 stages, during which each of the 4 aspects develops, which ultimately ensures a change in the sociocultural, scientific and technical level of society. --- Sexta 1: Begins the social cycle Sexta 1, which includes types with: · ...
