Determine your socionic type

Socionics is a theory of personality types developed in the 1970s by Aušra Augustinavičiūtė from Carl Jung's psychological types and Antoni Kępiński's theory of information metabolism. It describes sixteen types by how people take in and process information about the world, and it has been developed further mainly in Russia and Ukraine.

In the 1980s, Grigory Reinin showed that Jung's four dichotomies — Extraversion and Introversion, Sensing and Intuition, Logic and Ethics, Rationality and Irrationality — imply eleven more, such as Static and Dynamic or Tactical and Strategic. Together they form the fifteen Reinin dichotomies, and every type has one pole of each. Put simply, rather than guessing your type from a few answers, this inventory measures each of the fifteen dichotomies separately and derives your type from all of them.

On the following pages, you can determine your type by responding to a number of statements. This will take about one hour, and you can pause and resume at any time.

The results will be provided immediately after you have responded to all statements on the final page. Please note that the results you receive can only be reliable to the extent that you respond seriously and honestly.

The inventory is part of an ongoing study: anonymous responses are used to calibrate it and assess its reliability. In case of any question, please write an e-mail (contact@quantitativesocionics.org) to the research team.
