Talanov published an excellent criticism of Alexander Panchin

I'm just bringing this to attention; it's Talanov's words and not my own. It's in response to this video: The original post:  https://m.vk.com/wall-168821911_124957 "Unfortunately, Alexander Panchin (whom I respect for many other things) is, as I see it, the enemy of the psychology of individual differences itself, as well as psychological tests and profiling techniques that differentiate people as such, and not just socionics. It is enough to listen to his ironic intonation at the beginning of the video, when he talks about the history of attempts to psychologically typologize people. And, if it were otherwise, he would not repeat the same long-outdated nonsense from time to time, about the fact that socionics supposedly divides people into 16 isolated types (that is, without intermediate gradations and transitional cases) and so on... In socionics, this has not been mentioned for 20 years, for a long time In its current mainstream, it uses absolutely the same met...

There are 16 Distinct Systems of 16-Element Type Dichotomies in Socionics

Intro: Originally, I thought that the Reinin dichotomies and the Tencer-Minaev dichotomies were the only two systems of 16-element type dichotomies in Socionics. I just discovered another 14 systems, which is quite unexpected. I may even have been incorrect in my assertion that the Reinin dichotomies are the closest to Model A and Tencer-Minaev dichotomies are the closest to Model G, because there is simply far more to discover here. ... We saw that there were 35 possible partitions of 8 elements into two groups of 4 ( https://varlawend.blogspot.com/2023/06/encyclopedia-of-model-g-and-model.html?m=1) . nCr(8,4)/2 = 35 3 of those were temperament dichotomies that have a special structure in Socionics models, so there are a total of: 35 - 3 = 32 potential non-temperament dichotomies Based on the criteria of respecting the symmetries of the temperament dichotomies, we found out that 8 of them respect the symmetries. Since there are 4 non-temperament dichotomies in each 8-element dichotom...
