Accidental and Systematic Errors of the Socionic Diagnostics

Abstract

The author proposes to borrow from metrology several terms and definitions and the method of error analysis in order to evaluate precision of the socionic diagnostics. It is demonstrated through the metrological error analysis that correctness of results of the socionic diagnostics is most affected by the methodological part of the whole system of errors. Several reasons of errors specific for socionics are attributed to Ukhtomsky’s dominant and non-usage of Reinin’s criterion Leftist/Rightist. Ways of increasing precision of socionic diagnostics are proposed.
