There is a logical regularity that was discovered before by our predecessors. It lies in the fact that there is only sixteen characters of people or 16 types of personalities. We are sure, that these numbers are correct.

Sixteen characters of people were found in typology

In our case, we have a different description of sixteen characters of people based on our theoretical scheme created by logical synthesis. All these sixteen characters of people are the innate personality types. We divide these types naturally into two groups. They are concrete and abstract groups. We call all these types “ITT” (innate type of thinking).

As for the ITT it can be typical and atypical, as we mentioned before. Atypical ITT behaviour is described here. But before reading it, please read the description below, concerning your ITT.

In the description of each ITT you will notice the the words like “melancholic”, “phlegmatic”, “sanguine”, “choleric”. It shows what of kind of qualities are more visible in such temperaments of types and it influences the inner difference of behaviour between sixteen characters of people.

Below are provided new names of 16 types, according to the authors of this site and the theory of “Compact socionics”, as the author’s own names. So that you understand the connection of the new names of types with the old names of 16 types of other authors in the old school of socionics, they are comparable with each other. For example: DLST – “LSI” or “ЛСИ” (in Russian), ACTT – “EIE” or “ЭИЭ”, ASLT – “SLE” or “СЛЭ”, DTCT – “IEI” or “ИЭИ”, ALST – “LSE” or “ЛСЭ”, DCTT – “EII” or “ЭИИ”, DSLT – “SLI” or “СЛИ”, ATCT – “IEE” or “ИЭЭ”, ALTT – “LII” or “ЛИИ”, DCST – “ESE” or “ЭСЭ”, ASCT – “SEI” or “СЭИ”, DTLT – “ILE” or “ИЛЭ”, DLTT – “LIE” or “ЛИЭ”, ACST – “ESI” or “ЭСИ”, DSCT – “SEE” or “СЭЭ”, ATLT – “ILI” or “ИЛИ”.

Here is the description of such characters:
