Abstract: The subject of this research is the validity of scales used in socionics. The authors view socionics as a typological concept that describes predisposition of an individual to learning within the framework of one of another type of information using the method of modeling. Special attention is paid to the relevance of examination of the concept of socionics, its scientific substantiation from the perspective of differential psychology. The article explores one of the socionic characteristics – “logics / ethics” and its interrelation with the coefficients of empathy EQ and systematization SQ. In the course of this research, the authors applied the methodology of determination of socionics type, EQ and SQ coefficient tests, as well as statistical comparison of two groups. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that the authors are first to acquire results confirming the hypothesis on correlation between socionic characteristics “logics / ethics” and coefficients of empathy EQ and systematization SQ. According to socionics, the people of “ethic” type are more predisposed to high level of empathy and low scores on the scale of systematization; while the people with “logic” type are predisposed to high level of systematization with low values of empathy coefficient.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the validity of patterns and diagnostic tools applied in socionics. Socionics is viewed as a typological concept within the framework of cognitive psychology that describes peculiarities of a person in digesting one or another type of information using the method of modeling. Statistical verification of separate positions of socionic model is widely used in such spheres as professional orientation, teambuilding, conflict settlement, marketing, etc. The article examines the questions of logical-mathematical model applied in socionics. Analysis is conducted on correlation between one of the socionics parameters “extraversion – introversion” of the five-factor questionnaire “Big Five” personality traits and the composing primary factors. The scientific novelty consists in acquisition of the statistically significant results that confirm the hypothesis on correlation between the socionics parameter “extraversion – introversion” and the scale “extraversion – introversion” in a five-factor personality traits questionnaire. The author also established interconnection with the socionics criterion of all primary parameters comprising the scale “extraversion – introversion”, namely “activeness – passiveness”, “dominance – subordination”, “search – avoidance of attention”, “search – avoidance of impressions”, “friendliness – reservedness”. Comparative analysis was carried out on interrelation of primary parameters with socionic type. Possibility of application of five-factor personality traits questionnaire for primary diagnostics of socionic parameter “extraversion – introversion” is substantiated. The obtained results justify the viability of further experimental research of socionic model.
