These are really different typologies, but it is necessary to clarify which socionics is meant. It seems to most people that there is only one socionics, but there are many different variants of it!
The old socionics is, yes, quite far from Jung's typology. Aushra and her followers came up with a lot of theoretical stuff, which was mostly not confirmed later. And there really is very little Jung in the old socionics: no one was interested in developing and exploring his ideas, but everyone rushed to propose new entities and create additional theoretical piles (typing by appearance, etc.)
We had to do something about it, and we checked all the theories within socionics, corrected errors and inaccuracies, abandoned broken hypotheses and assumptions, left only what works and ... in many ways came to the ideas of Jung. Which we have significantly expanded and supplemented, taking into account our long-term practice and almost 10,000 typings.
A set of 16 psychotypes in Jung's typology was already used almost 100 years ago.
Carl Jung's Seminar on May 7, 1930. A man is mentioned who comes to an analytical psychologist:
"He is a healthy businessman, retired, about forty-seven years old... Some people will be interested to know that he is classified as a thinking-sensing introvert."
That is, this is a logical-sensory introvert "Maxim" in socionic terms.
As a result, we can talk openly today.:
Modern socionics is Jung's typology in its modern form, in synthesis with the discoveries of socionics about 16 types, 4 quadras and intertype relationships.
Our ideas and practical conclusions are fully consistent with Jung's ideas and significantly expand them, add details and new conclusions.
