About Aušra
Aušra Augustinavičiūtė (1927–2005), an economist and sociologist from Vilnius, Lithuania. Bringing together Jung's typology and A. Kępiński's notion of information metabolism (IM), she built — between the late 1970s and the 1980s — a new system for understanding humans called "socionics." The works compiled in this index are the earliest classical texts written in her own hand.
