Socionics is a system of psychological types and there relationships. The more close the relationship people are engaged in the more Socionics (the rules that govern the way information is exchanged and how information is processed between people) becomes an important factor.
Socionics is less a factor in relation where there is brief close contact. Like for instants: Contact on the street, a short-term intense outer goal, large group like a seminar, Behavioral norms and expectations all this may be affected by your mood of the moment. Where Socionics comes into play is in situations where there is long term Contact and unclear goals. A small group a few people, friends you hang out with all the time, long-term relationships particularly involving close contact like marriage, children roommates.
I have had many problems in the past with my close relations. Moreover, I have known many people who have had a vast array of serious troubles. People who learn Socionics often have had trouble in their past relations and are looking for a ways to improve their close relations.
And looking across the American landscape with all of the dates from hell TV shows, radio talk shows complaining about all things going wrong with women and men in there relations. It is clear to see people are having great difficulty with this the most important subject in our lives, who we choose for our most close relations. If we choose wrong, the consequences can be quite disastrous. Moreover, with no guide that actually works it is very difficult situation indeed. Therefore, this is where Socionics comes in to help you choose right for the first time.

You can see there web site at http://www.socionics.ibc.com.ua/ Most of it is not in English but there is a little. He was telling me that they had developed a new pen and paper test to determine your type. It had a different format that gave results that are more reliable Boukalov said. It works very well in Russian. In addition, it worked well in cross culturally. If translated, for the English-speaking world, it would be very helpful.

This site has from the looks of been translated by Alta Vista. But they have recently made much improvement in the translation. And there are many sections only in Russian or Ukrainian. I'm working on getting some of their books translated. We just need financing. This is the first site in the Ukraine that is making their services available to the English-speaking world. They will help you find a dual. They can help you get acquainted with a nice Ukrainian dual. And I must say from experience a dual is the best by far.

a lot of different Socionics related things on this site. Of coarse all in
Russian.

b and part
c, so I could view it in Alta Vista's Bable Fish.
