Lvov on socionics
"In my opinion, socionics should help real people live in the real world, and not try to impose another utopian idea. The human psyche and personality types are more complicated than it seemed to the founders socionics. My experience of diagnosis of hundreds of people shows that for a method method of implementation one needs a good understanding of all of the Jungian and Reinin traits, and only the model that fully accounts for all of these criteria can adequately describe any sociotype. There is only one simple and universal recipe for happiness: each of us has the freedom to choose our own path. This understanding of socionics serves as the basis for my counseling program and teaching services".
