Personality psychology and psycho-diagnostics: associative typology

Abstract

Associative Typology is aimed to deepen our knowledge about the psychology of personality from the perspective of associative socionics for the purpose of further application of this knowledge within the fields of socionics, practical psychology and psychotherapy. In the search for a fundamental understanding of what makes people “tick”, taking the very basic elements of the differences in psychological make up between apparently very different people, it became possible to draw lines between these differences and create the personality typology based on the type of psychic energy we carry within us. In the article you will find the description of the four groups of people by their type of psychic energy as well as the description of their type of music. The “Butterfly” model was used as the theoretical basis for creating the Associative typology of the personality and the associative method of psycho-diagnostics.
