Socionics is a modification of Jung's personality type theory that uses eight psychic functions, in contrast to Jung's model, which used only four. These functions process information at varying levels of competency and interact with the corresponding function in other individuals, giving rise to predictable reactions and impressions¿a theory of intertype relations.

The name "socionics" is derived from the word "society", because Augustinaviciute believed that each personality type has a distinct purpose in society, which can be described and explained by socionics. The central idea of socionics is that information is intuitively divisible into eight categories, called information aspects or information elements, which a person's psyche processes using eight psychological functions. Each sociotype has a different correspondence between functions and information elements, which results in different ways of perceiving, processing, and producing information. This in turn results in distinct thinking patterns, values, and responses to arguments, all of which are encompassed within socionic type. Socionics' theory of intertype relations is based on the interaction of these functions between types. The basic structure of socionics was established in the 1960s and 1970s by Aushra Augusta (formerly Augustinavichiute), along with a group of enthusiast...
