A collective model of intertype relations exposed primarily by Aushra Augusta in the 1970's derived from Freud's work on the conscious and unconscious, Jung's Psychological Types and Kepinski's look at 'informational metabolism' in human social interactions.

A word derived from society and bionics summarizing the application of biological principals to the study and design of all human relationships.

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