The goal of sociotype.com is to assist you in determining your sociotype. Your sociotype influences many aspects of your life, including who you date and what career you pursue. Please take some time to explore the site and see how learning about socionics and your sociotype can benefit you.
There are 16 sociotypes, which are based on the theory of socionics. Socionics is a personality system that focuses on people's information metabolism. It was created by Aushra Augusta in the 1970s using Carl Jung's typology as a foundation. Since then, a number of socionists have contributed to the development of the theory. In many ways it is analogous to the more well known MBTI system commonly used in the U.S., but there are also a number of differences between the two systems. Perhaps the most relevant difference between these two systems is that socionics can be used to determine the psychological compatibility between two or more people.
A good starting point for determining your sociotype is to take the sociotype test here. You should also check out the forums for more info. Additionally, registering as a member is free and gives you access to more tools that will help you accurately determine your sociotype.
Your sociotype has a profound impact on your relationships--platonic, romantic, or otherwise. In fact, socionics is a very useful predictor as to how positive or negative, successful or unsuccessful, and mutually or unilaterally beneficial a relationship might be. Just as there are 16 different sociotypes, there are also 16 different intertype relations that can occur. At least one study has shown a strong correlation between certain intertype relationships and marriage.
The way you metabolize information effects what careers you will excel at. For example, rationals (j types) have more difficulty dealing with fast-changing situations where the rules and information constantly changes. Or an ESE (ESFj) may struggle in a career that provides little opportunity for social interaction. Determinig your sociotype not only helps you plan out satisfying career paths that you will enjoy and likely succeed at, but it also helps you avoid those careers that although may look appealing, nevertheless are somewhat incompatible with your particular type of information metabolism.
