Abstract
This paper discusses the foundations of the theory of socionics, including the rationale behind Ausra Augustinaviciūtė’s model of information processing by the human psyche, and the philosophical thought behind the concept of information elements. Socionics was developed in the former Soviet Union and may be regarded as analogous to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator typology of personality. The main goal of this paper is to present socionics to the English-speaking community, in order to better take advantage of its explanatory potential in the fields of interpersonal communication and psychological disorders. Reviewed topics include aspects of Jungian analytical psychology and Kepinski’s information metabolism theory, upon which Augustinaviciūtė based her model. After the model is presented, its theoretical implications are briefly discussed.
