RESEARCH OF SOCIONIC CHARACTERISTICS «PRUDENCE - DECISION»

Kovalenko Roman, Zvonareva Natalia

The purpose of the empirical study is to test the existing hypotheses of the socionic trait «prudence – decision». Correlation analysis revealed the presence of a positive connection between the pole «decisiveness» and the traits «acceptance of struggle», «independence», «aggressiveness», «asser-tiveness», «manipulativeness», «dogmatism», «masculinity», «reaction-ism», «rigidity», «conservatism», as well as «difficulties with communica-tive tolerance». And the «prudence» pole showed correlations with the traits «non-acceptance of struggle», «dependence», «permissiveness», «gentleness», «radicalism» and «pacifism». The results obtained make it possible to draw up a description of the poles of the trait «prudence – de-cision», confirmed by research results, which will allow practitioners us-ing socionic methods to rely on proven hypotheses.
