Kalinauskas, Igor¶
Igor Nikolaevich Kalinauskas (real last name Nikolaev) was one of the early socionists and associates of Aushra Augusta who is most known for developing a clear and simple model of the psyche based on four functions rather than eight as in Model A. This model was known as the “steering wheel of Kalinauskas” (in Russian “shturval of Kalinauskas”) due to its semblance to a round steering wheel of a ship. This simple prototypical four-function model was used by a number of early socionists as introductory material for socionics study and research, but is much less popular today than Model A, which was developed later. Outside of socionics Kalinauskas has had a diverse career and is best known as a theater director and an esoteric philosopher. Self-typing is ILE.
