Socionics - is it help or is it harm??

in #psychology6 years ago (edited)

Has anyone heard of socionics before? We had a friend over several days ago who told us about the trainer and school in Moscow he went to and learned about socionics. He went on and on about the different socionic types and the information about himself which socionics totally proved to be correct because he is a certain type, and that is why his relationship with the person he loved was not meant to be... He said that socionics was first heard of in the 70s, and is now considered science? Again, I have no clue, if it is true or not that is why I am writing this post. Why am I asking you this and why do I sound sort of worried? I am quite bothered with this new trend, as if one finds out he or she is a certain type and his or her wife/husband is, say, a conflicting type, then it looks like a dead end, doesn't it? A bit like horoscopes, or maybe not? What do you think? It looks like my husband and I are per socionics conflicting types, but socionics does not give any instructions on how to solve conflicts that is why to me it appears to me being a rather harmful thing... Anyway, if you heard anything about socionics or know about it, please share your thoughts, I will really appreciate it.

All couples experience conflict. Most of these conflicts can be resolved, I believe, and I would mistrust any so-called science that seems to rob you of hope for harmony or aggravate conflicts between you and anyone you choose to love. I would not let socionics make you worry about you and your husband if I were you. You have creativity and affection enough to resolve almost any conflict with him that you feel a need to resolve.

Psychosocial sciences are probably not advanced enough to decide whether a relationship is a dead end, unless violence recurs — in which case, you don't need science to tell you the obvious. Only you can make those decisions. Yet the jewelry and roses are good indicators that the relationship still rolls onward, wouldn't you say?

I think you are right, and I really like what you are saying because it sounds like hope and love vs dead end which socionics offers for the two of us. Yet, you know, this feeling which starts eating you up when you read or see something like this... hard to explain, but it's hard not to think about it over and over again... As we say here, I want to unsee it... unread it.... :(

If that feeling keeps eating away at you, I have a suggestion for putting your mind at ease. Ask your female friends how their husbands or boyfriends treat them. I bet you'll find that your husband is doing you many small favors and making many small gestures that those other marriages and relationships lack. And you can do favors and make gestures that show affection for him too! In fact, the ukelele that you posted about is a fine example, yes? Let me know if I am right or wrong, okay, Catherine?

All the best.

I think you are so very right! Thank you for writing these words, they really mean a lot to me!

Ni siquiera había escuchado este termino, por lo cual, no se a que se pueda referir, seria interesante que alguien de la comunidad tuviera el conocimiento y nos apoyara, mientras tanto investigue el termino y encontré a bote pronto la siguiente información:
"Sociónica es una ciencia sobre el intercambio informativo en la persona y en la sociedad humana (en el sentido simplificado más práctico – sobre la compatibilidad psicológica), el concepto clave del cual es “tipo del metabolismo informativo” (sociotipo). La sociónica fue creada en el principio de los 1970 por Aušra Augustinavičiūtė por los motivos del trabajo de Carl Gustav Jung «Tipos Psicológicos» y la teoría de Antoni Kepinski sobre el metabolismo informativo-energético.

El enfoque de la sociónica consiste en la construcción del modelo del metabolismo informativo que describe la mecánica del metabolismo informativo, el análisis de las propiedades de 16 tipos posibles de metabolismo informativo, condicionados por el modelo, y comparación de estas propiedades con las manifestaciones de la psíquica de la persona. El metabolismo informativo – es el proceso de la percepción y selección de la información sobre el mundo exterior y sobre los procesos que pasan en él."
