Element descriptions in short.

Socionics is a calculation of information elements presented in individuals speech patterns. Each element determines a type of information. Individuals psyche "absorbs" the information from external surroundings such as when we read, speak, observe, etc. When the individual is subjected to typing process, their speech is being analysed and that way we can see the elements in speech patterns. Here is a short description of each element and how by what they determine we can detect them in speech.

Ni - determining patterns in any happenings, observing things in time flow, dynamic and sees what is changing and how, talks about times and patterns changes between them and all encompassing things, sees the big picture, predicts the outcome based on collecting patterns in time. Speaks about how things changed, mentions time and patterns, mentions history and things from abstract interpretations of time flow or how things change in metaphors.

Ne - determining the new, options and possibilities, alternatives and thinking something out of the blue, of abstract takes combining different things, jumps through topics, tells the meaning of abstract things, the essence of things, predicts the outcome based on sudden jump of a thought or seeing the opportunity. Speaks about new things, options, mentions the weirdness or unusual things, something interesting and exceptionality of things, originality, ideas and abstract interpretations, sudden revelations.

Both intuitions are good at determining "essence of something" and seeing the "bigger picture".


Si - determining the internal sensation of the surroundings, the colors and nuances in forms and patterns and details, the smell, the taste, what they envision.

Subtle detail oriented language concentrated on external viewed things, the way they look, describing objects in detail or sensations experienced.

Se - determining the external object form and its weight or lightness, the power and impact of external objects and living things, the threat and lack of it, the distance between things in surroundings, the approximate force required in something, the difference in power and presence or lack of it in nuance, monitoring the physical changes of external surroundings in a static way such as "this is like this right now" instead of seeing "how something changed".
