==The 16 types==
{{lang|lt|Augustinavičiūtė|italics=no}} usually used names like ''sensory-logical introvert'' (SLI) to refer to the types. In SLI the leading function is introverted sensation and the creative function is extraverted logic. She also introduced the practice of referring to types by the name of a famous person of the type (although types of these persons are not universally agreed upon, with the old name ''Napoleon'' for the SEE being replaced by ''Caesar'' after being deemed an inaccurate type assignment). For example, she called the SLI ''Gabin'' and the SEI ''Dumas''. Also sometimes names such as ''Craftsman'' or ''Mediator'' are used to express the social role of the type—a convention introduced by socionist Viktor Gulenko in 1995.<ref>[http://socionics.kiev.ua/articles/methodology/type-name/ Socionics.kiev.ua] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090430072536/http://socionics.kiev.ua/articles/methodology/type-name/ |date=April 30, 2009 }}, "Methodology"</ref> Given the formal similarities present between Socionics and the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) abbreviations frequently used in English, some prefer to distinguish socionic type names from Myers–Briggs' names by writing the last letter (J or P) in lower case (for example, ENTp, ESFj)—a practice introduced by Sergei Ganin.<ref>[http://www.socionics.com/articles/mbti.htm socionics.com], "Things to consider about MBTI® theory (Part 1)"</ref> This is because the relationship between socionics and Myers–Briggs and [[Keirsey Temperament Sorter|Keirseyan types]] is controversial.

Dmitri Lytov and Marianna Lytova state that "main spheres of application of socionics are almost the same as for the Myers–Briggs Type Theory", and that observed differences in correlation "represent characteristic stereotypes of the socionics and the Keirsey typology.<ref name="socioniko.net">{{Cite web|url=https://www.socioniko.net/en/articles/lytovs-intro3.html|title=Introduction into Socionics|website=www.socioniko.net}}</ref> Others state that MBTI and socionics "correlate in roughly 30% of cases," and that "there are many subtle differences".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.socionics.us/intro.shtml |title=Introduction to Socionics – Socionics.us |access-date=2009-05-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090301044617/http://socionics.us/intro.shtml |archive-date=2009-03-01 |url-status=dead }}</ref>{{clarify|date=December 2015}} J and P in Socionics and Myers–Briggs are completely different:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.socio.dp.ua/newspaper/1997/pavlov3/|title=Соционика в Днепропетровском клубе соционики и социальных технологий – Существует ли признак "статика-динамика"?|publisher=Socio.dp.ua|access-date=2015-12-15|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160221153805/http://www.socio.dp.ua/newspaper/1997/pavlov3/|archive-date=2016-02-21}}</ref> in Myers–Briggs, J and P stands for the ''first '''extraverted''' function'' (J—extraverted thinking or feeling, P—extraverted sensing or intuition); in Socionics, J and P stands for the '''''first''' function'' (J—rational (thinking and feeling), P—irrational (sensing and intuition)). This '''formal''' conversion is carried out in accordance with the '''[[Myers–Briggs Type Indicator#Lifestyle preferences: judging/perception|Myers–Briggs Type Indicator]]'''.

In dividing the socion according to the four Jungian dichotomies, from this is formed 16 socionic types. The following tables provide a list of types with the names most commonly used in socionics:

The second concept is the functional dimensions. It was introduced by Aleksandr Bukalov.<ref name="Boukalov, A.V. 1995">Boukalov, A. V. (1995). On the dimensions of the functions of information metabolism. ''Socionics, Mentology, and Personality Psychology'', 2. International Institute of Socionics.</ref> He defined the first dimension as the personal experience (Ex), the second dimension as social norms (Nr), the third dimension as the current situation (St), and the fourth dimension as the globality, or time perspective (Tm). This concept is useful because it best illustrates the difference in cognitive power (imagine measuring capability of 2D v. 3D measuring tool) and roughly describes abilities of each function to process and generate information. Still, definitions of dimensions require further research and clarification. For example, the vulnerable function tends to lose knowledge which have not been used.
