tl;dr Socionics is a superior version of MBTI, MBTI is basic and trash.

history: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socionics

"Socionics is a theory of personality type and information processing, describing how fixed patterns of cognition form the human personality and how these personalities interact with each other in society. The theory occupies a unique position between the fields of psychology, sociology and cybernetics. More precisely, a system of information processing inherent in personality type (cybernetics) has an effect on the behavior of the person of that type (psychology), which in turn has an effect on other people in society (sociology). In context, Socionics can be also defined as the study of the Socion, which is the 16 personality types and their inter-type relations."

There are 16 types, 4 quadras with 4 types in each quadra. Each type has 8 Functions or Information Elements that make up their personality.

Each type is called by a 3 letter code:

I stands for Intuitive
S stands for Sensing
L stands for Logic
E stands for Ethics

at the end of each type/code there's an E or I
E stands for Extravert
I stands for Introvert

ILE for example stands for Intuitive Logical Extravert

Information Elements

There are 8 different information elements, which are differing ways that people metabolize raw information. Each type has 4 that are weak, 4 that are strong, 4 that are valued and 4 that are unvalued. The weaknesses, strengths, valuations and devaluations are what structure the personality type.

Ni or Introverted Intuition: This involves seeing a larger narrative or purpose behind events. It is often associated with the mystical, visionary, or prophetic. It also involves feeling “the flow of events inside time”. People with strong Ni can often tell if “it is time” to do something and can speed up or slow down the course of events.

valued by SLE, IEI, EIE, LSI, SEE, ILI, LIE, ESI
unvalued by: ESE, LII, ILE, SEI, LSE, EII, IEE, SLI
strong in: IEI, EIE, IEE, EII, ILE, LII, LIE, ILI
weak in: SLE, LSI, ESE, SEI, LSE, SLI, SEE, ESI

Ne or Extraverted Intuition: This is associated with connecting different ideas or people, seeing potential in people and situations, and finding new or unexpected directions. It involves looking for an “external whole”; for example, if writing a paper, use of Ne would feel like thinking about the whole paper at once.

valued by: ESE, LII, ILE, SEI, LSE, EII, IEE, SLI
unvalued by: SLE, IEI, EIE, LSI, SEE, ILI, LIE, ESI
strong in: IEI, EIE, IEE, EII, ILE, LII, LIE, ILI
weak in: SLE, LSI, ESE, SEI, LSE, SLI, SEE, ESI

Se or Extraverted Sensing: This is about exertion, winning, and controlling the physical world. Someone with strong Se makes things happen by direct involvement. They can achieve goals quickly and enforce rules. A type that values Se would want to demonstrate high willpower (think Crossfit, climbing Mount Everest, working through the night).

valued by SLE, IEI, EIE, LSI, SEE, ILI, LIE, ESI
unvalued by: ESE, LII, ILE, SEI, LSE, EII, IEE, SLI
strong in: SLE, LSI, ESE, SEI, LSE, SLI, SEE, ESI
weak in: IEI, EIE, IEE, EII, ILE, LII, LIE, ILI

Si or Introverted Sensing: This is about comfort, balance, equilibrium. An Si type wants to create comfortable and pleasant conditions, often remembered from the past. They are very attentive to small details. Strong Si often involves sensitive hearing, touch, smell, etc.; they know what they like and dislike and can also notice this in others.

valued by: ESE, LII, ILE, SEI, LSE, EII, IEE, SLI
unvalued by: SLE, IEI, EIE, LSI, SEE, ILI, LIE, ESI
strong in: SLE, LSI, ESE, SEI, LSE, SLI, SEE, ESI
weak in: IEI, EIE, IEE, EII, ILE, LII, LIE, ILI

Te or Extraverted Thinking: This is about practical effectiveness. A Te type would set goals and systematically go about achieving them. They have many different skills and are usually interested in going about them in the most efficient or “best-practices” way, as well as teaching the skills to others.

valued by: LSE, EII, IEE, SLI, LIE, ESI, SEE, ILI
unvalued by: SLE, IEI, EIE, LSI, ESE, LII, ILE, SEI
strong in: SLE, LSI, LIE, ILI, LSE, SLI, ILE, LII
weak in: IEE, EII, EIE, IEI, ESE, SEI, SEE, ESI

Ti or Introverted Thinking: This is about order, logic, and clarity. A Ti type wants their world to make sense and be explainable by objective principles. They would lean toward short, concise statements aimed at revealing large slices of truth. They might identify their own values with those of a system.

valued by: SLE, IEI, EIE, LSI, ESE, LII, ILE, SEI
unvalued by: LSE, EII, IEE, SLI, LIE, ESI, SEE, ILI
strong in: SLE, LSI, LIE, ILI, LSE, SLI, ILE, LII
weak in: IEE, EII, EIE, IEI, ESE, SEI, SEE, ESI

Fe or Extraverted Feeling: This is about expressed emotions. An Fe type wants to get out what they’re feeling (joy, silliness, sadness, anger), and wants to create an atmosphere where others can do so too. They are sensitive to the moods of others (“he is sad, why are you joking about that?”) as well as to the general emotional tone of a group. They can change the moods of others effectively.

valued by: SLE, IEI, EIE, LSI, ESE, LII, ILE, SEI
unvalued by: LSE, EII, IEE, SLI, LIE, ESI, SEE, ILI
strong in: IEE, EII, EIE, IEI, ESE, SEI, SEE, ESI
weak in: SLE, LSI, LIE, ILI, LSE, SLI, ILE, LII

Fi or Introverted Feeling: This is about moral values and emotional truth. An Fi type has a natural gut sense of how close or far they are from other people and feel the pull of traditions and norms strongly. Their life often revolves around a sense of obligation to family, friends, employers, and possibly God.

valued by: LSE, EII, IEE, SLI, LIE, ESI, SEE, ILI
unvalued by: SLE, IEI, EIE, LSI, ESE, LII, ILE, SEI
strong in: IEE, EII, EIE, IEI, ESE, SEI, SEE, ESI
weak in: SLE, LSI, LIE, ILI, LSE, SLI, ILE, LII

Quadras

Alpha (values Si, Ne, Ti, Fe - devalues Se, Ni, Te, Fi)

Alphas tend to enjoy relaxed, positive atmospheres where they can share their (often scientific) theories and laugh at silly, over the top jokes. They don’t like to take life too seriously: they’d love to live a simple, comfortable life pursuing whatever interest they have on mind at the time.

Alpha Quadra types:

ILE

SEI @mothership

ESE

LII

Beta (values Se, Ni, Ti, Fe - devalues Ne, Si, Te, Fi)

Betas like dramatic, passionate atmospheres shared with the group they identify with. The goal of their group interaction is to entertain each other, and the jokes are often loud, inclusive and somewhat provoking. Betas get serious when it comes to sharing their vision and understanding about the reality and the implementation of their future goals.

Beta Quadra types:

SLE

IEI @onetwo

EIE

LSI

Gamma (values Se, Ni, Te, Fi - devalues Ne, Si, Ti, Fe)

Gammas are perhaps the most realistic Quadra. They enjoy sharing information in a factual manner in order to learn from each other’s experiences. Conversations often focus on trends regarding material and personal issues like work or relationships and the stating of these matters can be very blunt. Jokes are mostly ironic or sarcastic, and they are shared in a non-dramatic manner.

Gamma Quadra types:

SEE

ILI @Jozen

LIE @Bestowed

ESI

Delta (values Ne, Si, Te, Fi - devalues Se, Ni, Ti, Fe)

Delta types enjoy working on projects, enjoying physical recreation, or finding out interesting things about each other. Everyone is seen as an individual and groups are formed mainly to preform a specific activity more efficiently. Jokes are often witty and welcoming and they are shared in a pleasant, subdued manner.

Delta Quadra types:

IEE @Underhanded @Biginthegame

SLI @Yuzzy

LSE

EII

just wrote up this a***ysis for Kanye's personality using Socionics, I suggest you guys read through to get an understanding of how this works:

Kanye West is almost universally typed as an EIE

Ethical Intuitive Extravert

EIE functions breakdown:

Dominant (main function, very strong and valued): Extraverted Ethics (Fe)

Extraverted ethics is the domain of passions, emotions and moods. People with strong Fe are extremely expressive of their emotional states and are infectious with emotions and their moods. They aim to get specific emotional responses from people and change the moods of the people around them. We all know Kanye is an extremely passionate person who does not shy away from expressing his emotions whether it's in his music, on stage, interviews etc. He lives for emotions.

Creative (sidekick function, strong and valued): Introverted Intuition (Ni)

Introverted Intuition or Ni is the domain of Time. People with strong Ni are heavily attuned to events and how they transpire. They are experts of knowing where things have come from in the past and tracking them to where they are heading in the future. They are very attuned to narratives and can be seen as prophetic and visionaries.

Kanye is clearly a visionary person. He is extremely future oriented as seen in his clothing and music. He doesn't live for the day to day and the moment, he is always on to what's ahead of the curve. He has grand visions that he wants to infect the people with emotionally. This is how Fe and Ni work together.

Hidden Agenda (weak and valued): Extraverted Sensing (Se)

Extraverted Sensing is the domain of Force and Power. People with strong Se are about controlling, winning and dominating the physical world. They are about gaining resources (money, women, men, houses, cars, connections) to appear as powerful and in control. They are not people who are here to just relax and enjoy, they're here to gain.

This is a weak but valued function for Kanye. This isn't his main focus but it is part of his psyche to a lesser degree. He wants to be the best in fashion, the best in music. He aims to dominate in multiple fields and doesn't want to settle for anything under his goals.

Suggestive Function (very weak but valued, needs & wants help): Introverted Logic (Ti)

Introverted Logic is the domain of logical structure, laws, rules and systems. People with strong Ti are very structured people who are extremely organized physically and mentally. They are very attuned to logical inconsistencies and contradictions and aim to eliminate them. They do not like disorder and chaos and aim to increase order in the world whether it is through logical statements, or physical environments.

This is a very weak function of Kanye but valued. He cannot produce this himself, and needs people strong in this domain to help him. We know as someone who gets caught up in passions and ideas and it can make him appear very chaotic at times.

Ignoring function (strong and unvalued): Introverted Ethics (Fi)

Introverted Ethics is the domain of moral values, traditions, social appropriateness and relationships. People with strong Fi are very aware of the distance between 2 people, whether people are close or distant in their friendships and are attuned to how appropriate their behaviors are and whether someone is moral or not.

This is a strong function for Kanye but ultimately unvalued as he prefers Extraverted Ethics instead. How this manifests for Kanye is that although he may be aware of how he's coming off to other people and whether he may or may not be offending people, he prizes his raw emotional expression above this. He doesn't believe in filtering what he has to say to avoid offending people because it's not genuine.

Demonstrative (very strong but unvalued): Extraverted Intuition (Ne)

Extraverted Intuition is the domain of possibilities, potentials and ideas. People with strong Ne are constantly coming up with new ideas and discoveries and ways of viewing the world. They have a strong sense for potential and how something or someone could change, and what possibilities and opportunities there are out there. They love change and uniqueness.

Kanye is an extremely ideational person. He constantly speaks on ideas and appears to be an an extremely open minded person. However EIE's don't like to just brainstorm for the sake of brainstorming and ideating, it's all in service to their Introverted Intuition which their overarching purpose and vision. If the ideas don't match the vision it is easily discarded and not entertained.

PoLR (very weak and unvalued, wants nothing to do with): Introverted Sensing (Si)

Introverted Sensing is the domain of the physical dynamics, relaxation, day-to-day, comfort and the overall small things/details in life. People with strong Si are very attuned to their personal physical state and the physical states of people and objects around them. They believe that comfort, health and living each moment is very important. They don't believe in over-exerting yourself if it's a danger to your physical well-being.

Kanye is clearly very weak in this domain. He is someone who is constantly pushing himself and working to follow his dream/vision. He takes for granted the importance of his mental and physical health and it has been seen multiple times in the public with mental outbreaks due to exhausting himself. EIEs do not want to deal with day-to-day small things in life as it is seen as unimportant and distracting from their visions, goals and dreams.

Role (weak and unvalued): Extraverted Logic (Te)

Extraverted Logic is the domain of practicality, business logic, accurate facts, and efficiency. People who are strong with Te are very business minded, matter-of-fact people who prize practicality over everything. They don't care for theories and only understanding unless it is solving an actual problem in the world They are problem solvers, managers and fixers of the world. They are very attuned to data, research and statistics and see this information as invaluable.

Kanye seems to be somewhat decent in this realm as he has a wildly successful business in Yeezy. He clearly knows the basics on how to manage and run a company. However, Kanye and all EIEs will always priorities their passions over practicality. It's never a "good business decision" to speak out like Kanye does but passions and inner emotions will always win for an EIE.

lol are you a business minded person?

the difference between something like this and astrology is that

astrology says if you're a Leo then you're this

whereas Socionics is the other way around.. if you're this type of person then you're an EIE

if yall read the Kanye a***ysis I wrote on the last page and look up EIEs in general and still think this is bullshit... idk what to tell y'all.
