Contributions to Socionics

Grigoriy Reinin has met with A. Augusta in 1984 and they immediately started to exchange letters. Reinin developed a theoretical basis for the additional traits, while A. Augusta came up with the “filling” into remaining ones. All of these were finally documented in a 1987 article where his work was first mentioned by A. Augusta under the name of “Reinin traits”.
