This document introduces a new concept of personality theory called associative typology based on the works of Freud, Jung, and Augustinavichute. It describes Socionics typology which uses a "butterfly" model to depict 16 personality types based on 8 functions of information metabolism. Each type is associated with temperaments, psychic energy aspects, and art preferences related to their functional priorities and dichotomies. A new approach to psychodiagnostics is proposed using these criteria to assess personality through artistic works.

1. ASSOCIATIVE TYPOLOGY &
PSYCHODIAGNOSTICS
BY OLGA TANGEMANN
A NEW CONCEPT OF PERSONALITY THEORY BASED ON THE WORK OF S. FREUD,
C. JUNG AND A. AUGUSTINAVICHUTE

2. OVERVIEW OF SOCIONICS TYPOLOGY
• Socionics was founded in the 1970s by a Lithuanian pedagogue and economist Aušra Augustinavichute.
• Antoni Kempinski - the man who coined the term “information metabolism,” studied psychopathologies, came
to a conclusion that the processes taking place inside the human psyche bear close resemblance to metabolism.
• A. Augustinaviсhute described information metabolism of each of the 16 personality types; created a model A
by giving each functions a specific symbol.
• Based on this model described the type of relationships between different types - ”intertype relationships
theory”. Most popular of all is the ”duality” relationship where two types are similar on J or P dichotomy and
compensate each other weaknesses.

3. MODEL A IS A COMBINATION OF 2 FUNCTIONAL
CIRCLES – MENTAL AND VITAL BLOCKS -POSITIONED
ONE ABOVE ANOTHER

4. STRUCTURE OF MODEL A
• In School of Associative socionics is used slightly different presentation in a shape of a
butterfly which does not affect the meaning of the model. The mental/conscious circle is
positioned on the left and the vital/subconscious circle on the right.
• Don Quixote -ILE- ENTp. The Innovator. The intuitive logical extravert.
Ne Ti – Ego; Fi Se – Superego; Si Fe –Superid; Ni Te - Id.
Program Ne Ni Restricting
Creative Ti Te Background
Vulnerable Fi Fe Mobilizing
Role Se Si Suggestive

5. 8 SOCIONICS FUNCTIONS & INFORMATIONAL
ASPECTS
• Te – Business logics or applied logics – business grip, efficiency, reasonableness, technology;
• Ti – Structural logics or theoretical logics – abstract structure, system, scientific theories;
• Fe – Ethics of emotions – open emotional interaction, immediate emotional reaction;
• Fi – Ethics of relationship – relationships between the people, moral issues, consciousness, and abiding by traditions;
• Se – Volitional sensing or sensory of power – the strive toward action, expansion, acquisition ownership, tenacity;
• Si – Perception sensing or sensory of sensations – harmony of spatial forms, feeling of comfort and relaxation;
• Ne – Intuition of insight and possibilities– the ability to appraise the internal contents, potential abilities of the subject;
• Ni – Intuition of doubt or intuition of time – premonition, forecast, ability to detect development dynamics, poetical
imagination, mystical feeling.
• Each of the functions accept and process information only of a certain information aspect.

6. THE EXPLANATION BEHIND BLOCKING OF THE
FUNCTIONS IN MODEL A
• Aushra used for explanation of every act of the bodily activity analogy for the processes which happen in the internal
combustion engine. She associated each function with a certain type of energy and related it either to the body (body tact) or to
the field (field tact).
Each tact of information metabolism consists of one body tact (extraverted function) and one field tact (introverted function).
• Body – tact starts with:
Ne – potential energy, bottom dead point, and the mass of the internal picture of the object, its structure
• Fe – excitation contraction, process of converting potential energy into kinetic energy – a change of the internal structure of
object including fluctuation.
• Se – kinetic energy (the top dead point – ignition). Internally mobilized object, its fine structure and the external shape of the
object.
• Te – work, consumption of the kinetic energy of the object, changing its coordinates and the entropy as a result of a reversal of
the fine structure of the object, its demobilization, the return to the resting state.

7. BLOCKING OF THE FUNCTIONS IN MODEL A
• The organism is always in one of the states of these four tacts otherwise it would stop to
exist. Every body-tact leads to the changes in the field – every body-tact has a certain
field- tact.
• At the heart of every act of the field-tact are such fundamental phenomena of nature as
gravitational and electro-magnetic fields, gravitational and electro-magnetic waves.
Potential energy is related to gravitational field and kinetic energy to electro -magnetic
field.
• Excitation is associated with electro-magnetic waves and work with gravitational waves.

8. FUNCTIONS AND ENERGY
• Ne- Potential energy of the body/object; Ni – gravitational field.
• Fe – object’s/body internal dynamics; Fi – electro-magnetic waves .
• Se- object’s/body kinetic energy; Si – electro-magnetic field.
• Te – object’s/body external dynamics; Ti – gravitational waves.
Aushra refers to C. Jung saying that body tact and field tact form homogeneous pairs. For
example, Ti is a moment of Te; Fi – moment of Fe because Fe and Te reflect on dynamics
and processes and Ti and Fi belong to statics.

9. BLOCKING OF THE FUNCTIONS
• Every body tact has homogeneous field tact: Ne Ni Fe Fi Se Si Te Ti
Aushra refers to Jung by saying that one block (a pair of functions) in the model A starts with the body-tact and finishes with the
field-tact. Extraverted information about the state/quality of object transfers into the information about relation of one object to
another. That is what is inside the object is transferred into the external world – according to Jung “becomes extraverted.”
• Other blocks in the model start with field- tact and finish with body -tact. Information about relations among the objects transfers
into the information about state of the object or what happens to the object – according to Jung, information becomes
introverted.
Static extraverted functions are paired only with static introverted and the same is true for dynamic functions, e. g.:
Se-Ti or Se-Fi or Ne-Ti or Ne-Fi and etc.
And dynamics functions are paired with other dynamics functions e. g.:
Te-Si or Te –Ni or Fe –Ni or Fe-Si and etc.

10. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOCIONICS AND MBTI
• It is well known that the codes for extraverted types coincide in socionics and MBTI and only introverted types are inverted on
the dichotomy J-P. INTj in socionics is INTP in MBTI.
• No difference found in the definitions of dichotomies: J-P and rationality – irrationality and extraversion - introversion.
However, it became clear during discussion about the differences between MBTI and socionics that according to MBTI model
all J types coincide with dynamic types in socionics. And all P types coincide with static types in socionics.
• Dichotomies rationality – irrationality and statics –dynamics mean different things in socionics and this is one of the major
reasons why there is discrepancy between two typologies. Due to the use of different models the type –profiles may differ
between two typologies but not to the extent that you cannot recognize the type.
• Socionists believe that they follow C.Jung theory more precisely and not just by keeping dichotomy rational – irrational instead
of J-P. Rational types have preference for extraverted and introverted rational functions and the same is true for irrational types.
Jungian functional preference ordering for INTJ (MBTI): In socionics: Ti - Ne – Se - Fi
Dominant: Ni Auxiliary: Te Tertiary: Fi Inferior: Se Te – Ni – Si – Fe

11. MODEL A AND S. FREUD PERSONALITY CONCEPT

12. ASSOCIATIVE MODEL AND 4 TYPES OF PSYCHIC
ENERGY (TPE)
• The Butterfly model refers to the dynamic structure of psyche on the basis of compensation between the different types of
psychic energy, which are associated with four components of the structure of the personality: with Ego, Id, Superego and
Superid.
• The semantic content of the shadow archetype as it was described by C. Jung in his work about Collective Unconscious in
many respects determines the meaning of the block Superid in the Butterfly model. The shadow is the source of creativity but
simultaneously has a potential and a tendency towards destruction. This mental structure is inherited from those life times of
humanity, when all concerns were reduced to the instincts of survival and the continuation of mankind.
Considering S. Freud’s theory TPE Superid is associated with instinct of Thanatos while TPE Id is associated with the instinct
of Eros.
• Ego –rational, extraverted, dynamic type of psychic energy
Superego – rational, introverted, static type of psychic energy
Id – irrational, extraverted, static type of psychic energy
Superid – irrational, introverted, dynamic type of psychic energy

13. ASSOCIATIVE TYPOLOGYAND ENERGY CHAKRA
SYSTEM
• 4 TPEs become associated with 4 components of Model A, 4 groups of types as well as energy
chakra system which lay the basis for a new associative typology:
• 1.Ego-types – rational dynamic extraverts. Extraverted functions: Fe (red) and Te (orange).
• 2. Id-types – irrational static extraverts. Extraverted functions: Se (yellow) and Ne (green).
• 3. Superid-types – irrational dynamic introverts. Introverted functions: Ni (blue) and Si (dark-
blue).
• 4. Superego-types – rational static introverts. Introverted functions: Ti (violet) and Fi
(purple/pink).

14. ASSOCIATION OF COLORS WITH FUNCTIONS
AND BASIC DICHTOTOMIES
• In contrast to the theory of M. Lusher, the colors do not indicate the current state of mind or the current psycho-physiological state of a
person, but reflect on the deeper levels of personality, which refer to stable psychological qualities – to the personality type.
• The warm color range, which possesses greater powers of extraversion (red, orange - Ego block; yellow, green - Id block), is opposite to
the cold color range of introversion with much less power (pink/ light purple, violet, white - Superego; black and blue, dark-blue, -
Superid).
• The “rational” color range of the Ego and Superego is opposed to the “irrational” color range of the Id and Superid on the basis of the
presence or absence of the nuances of the color red.
Red is associated with the power of emotions (Fe), where the emotions are considered as one of the instruments of self-control as well as
control over other people.
• The “static” color range of the Id (yellow, green) and the Superego (white, pink, violet) does not possess an obvious colour contrast. The
absence of a sharp contrast in the combination of colors refers to the element of stability and characterizes a mental state that is
predominantly static. By contrast, the combination of bright warm and dark cold colors, for example, of red and dark-blue, indicates quick
and sharp changes in psychological states, which refer to the dynamic element of the psyche: Ego (red/raspberry, orange) and Superid
(blue, dark-blue, black).

TEMPERAMENTS AND TPE GROUPS

17. 6 TYPES OF PSYCHODYNAMICS
• The TPE psychodynamics - interactions of the 4 TPEs in the psyche - lay the foundations
for the subtype theory where people of the same type can be differentiated based on their
type of psychodynamics:
1. Extraverted : Ego – Id and Id – Ego.
2. Introverted : Superego-Superid and Superid-Superego.
3. Rational: Ego – Superego and Superego – Ego.
4. Irrational: Id – Superid and Superid-Id.
5. Static: Superego – Id and Id – Superego.
6. Dynamic: Ego – Superid and Superid – Ego.

18. TYPES OF PSYCHODYNAMICS AND SUBTYPE
THEORY
• Not all types of psychodynamics are available for all 16 types but only those 3 which are
associated with the dominant TPE and it’s 3 basic dichotomies.
For ego-types these will be: extraverted, rational and dynamic.
For id-types: extraverted, irrational and static.
For superego-types: introverted, rational and static.
For superid-types: introverted, irrational and dynamic.
Each person will have individual pattern of psychodynamic profile where all four TPEs
will be lined up from the strongest to the weakest. The name of the profile is followed
from the first and second TPEs in the profile:
Ego – Id – Superego - Superid.

19. ASSOCIATIVE PSYCHODIAGNOSTICS (APD) – CRITERIA FOR
ASSESSMENT OF THE PREFERENCES IN ART THROUGH THE PRISM OF TYPOLOGY.
• TPE-group profiles,16 types descriptions, musical typology, subtype theory, associative tests, calculator for self-assessment and
questionnaire are all part of the APD and can be found on the website: socionics4you.com
• Rationality – irrationality.
Criteria: color, shape, meaning – is it clear or not clear what is in the picture; usual or unusual; realistic or does not exist?
• Extraversion – introversion.
Criteria: color, volume, scale. Large images of objects that occupy the entire space of the picture. Big size, grand design, open
space. Alternatively we find a lot of small objects in the picture. Local image. Attention is drawn to one small item or to a part
of the bigger picture.
• Statics- dynamics.
Criteria: color, shape, meaning. The presence (dynamics) of or absence (statics) of a large number of small lines; the object
depicted in a static state (still) or dynamic state (moving).
Sometimes the artist deliberately displays the image beyond the picture frame to point to the process of changes, e.g. growing
plant.

corners). Content: absence of people in the image; sketchy, depersonalized or distorted
images of people. People as objects. The image of the objects that can be attributed to the
meaning of logic and objective measurement (machines, equipment, instruments, tools,
maps, compasses, etc.).
Ethics
Criteria: color (variety of color); shape (variety of shape, often rounded); content (images
of humans and animals, the relationship between them and their emotional states, realistic
face expressions; flowers in nature or in bouquets).

27. ETHICS IN ART

28. INTUITION AND SENSING IN ART
• Sensing
Criteria: colour; detailed content. Specific and realistic images of objects, including a nude human body; large,
massive forms of the objects that can be correlated with physical strength and power (the aspect of extraverted
sensing). Introverted sensing Si is associated in pictures with water (river, sea, sea world, pond; rain, hovering in
the air).
Negative (irrational, logical) sensing can be revealed in the images of the physical bodily distortion (e.g. for
example, decay, body parts).
• Intuition
Criteria: colour (green, blue); abstract content. Not clearly drawn, blurry images of objects and people. The
complex and unusual images. The high degree of imagination and fantasy. The intuitive symbolism in the
images (roads, stretching into the sky as a symbol of infinity, floating or flying images of people and
objects; jumping up or falling down, the stars, sky, universe, and infinity of space. Paintings filled with air and
open space. The abstract, unrealistic, images of objects and people.
