Socionics Resources

So far there are not many establish English sources on Socionics, since most of the psychological community surrounding it speaks primarily in Russian. However, there are several sites of note, where information should be taken as a whole, and with a grain of salt.

Good luck. :)

Rick Delong

Rick Delong is an American-Ukranian member of the Socionics community and is familiar with the International Institute of Socionics. He has been a scholar of Socionics for almost a decade, taught by a local Socionist where he currently resides in Kiev, Ukraine.

Fluent in Russian and English, he seeks to correct serious misinterpretation that can happen in the West without contact with the actual socionics community: "I hope my site will serve as a bridge to the socionics community and the way socionics is actually understood here in the Russian speaking world."
