Socionics (Russian: соционика) is a model of personality based on Carl Jung's work on Psychological Types, Freud's theory of the conscious and subconscious mind, and Antoni Kępiński's theory of information metabolism. The model was founded mainly by the Lithuanian researcher Aušra Augustinavičiūtė in the 1970s, and is evolving rapidly. The name socionics is derived from the word "society", since Augustinavičiūtė believed that each personality type has a distinct societal role, which can be specified and explained by socionics.
