Stratievskaya, Vera
Vera Izraylevna Stratiyevskaya - author of one the most popular sets of socionic type and intertype relationship descriptions in the Russian socionics community. She is known for producing some of the most detailed, lifelike descriptions of socionic types available at her blog socionika-forever. These thorough descriptions full of detailed behavior and more than a bit of irony have been machine translated and made available in English, but they are difficult to understand at times. However, quite a few socionists and socionics hobbyists have criticized Stratiyevskaya for portraying types of Gamma quadra in more positive light while exaggerating the weaknesses or peculiarities of types from other quadra. This is most likely explainable by her own type being ESI; thus, her depictions of types and intertype relations are said to be most accurate for Gamma types. Reading her profiles and intertype relationship descriptions pertaining to types from other quadra, especially Alpha, it should be kept in mind that she has written these from the point of view of an outside observer that does not provide a completely objective view. Stratiyevskaya self-types as ESI (suggested extended typing: ESI-Se so/sx 6w7).
Biography
- Vera Izraylevna Stratiyevskaya (maiden name Heifetz) - the originator of natural approach of research in socionics, the author of the theory of the evolutionary origin of types of information metabolism and the theory of quadra complexes - was born on July 26, 1953 in Yessentuki, Stavropol Territory. Since 1954, she lived and studied in Leningrad (St. Petersburg).
- In 1978 she completed her studies at LGPI of A. I. Herzen (State Pedagogical University in St. Petersburg).
- From 1992 to 1993 she was engaged in popularization of Socionics, lectured, conducted socionics surveys and testing.
- From 1993 to 1996 worked on the descriptions and characteristics of 16 types of IM and in 1997 published them as a book titled "What needs to be done such that we won't separate".
- Since 1997, basing on the author's theory of the evolutionary origin of IM types, was engaged in the development of the theory of intertype relations. Described the interaction of all 16 types of IM on 9 types of intertype relationships: dual, identical, mirror, activation, conflict, mirage, business, kindred, semi-dual. (For some TIMs other types of relationships have been described.)
- Since 2000, from the standpoint of the author's theory of the evolutionary origin of IM types, is engaged in research and development in the theory of Reinin traits in the natural research orientation.
- From 2007, leads a site on socionics, which regularly receives materials on all the above topics, including the latest additions and developments.
- In 2009, documents her research on socionics quadra and quadra complexes ("The general concept of Quadra", "Characteristics of Quadra", "The general laws of quadra progression", the " The turnover of quadras aspects", etc).
- Since 2009, within the framework of the project "Socionics in aid of history", she started working on a book titled "Two angles of time in the history of Richard III" which features a historical investigation with socionics comments (full text is available online).
