Summary/Abstract: This article presents a study and analysis of the distribution of Socionics personality types in the IT community, covering different IT professionals from 6 countries. The integral psycho-informational metabolism of the IT society has been determined and proved by a socionic analysis of the statistical data, using different practices and tools. The conclusions drawn define the main peculiarities of the IT guild as well as the specific motivational, communication and value characteristics of the study group. The factors that differentiate IT people from the rest of the population are also analyzed. The illustrated methodology is applicable to studies of the behavioral characteristics of different communities, subcultures, social and minority groups, as well as various corporate units with integral informational metabolism. The author assumes that the reader is familiar with the fundamentals, terminology and concepts of Socionics as well as Jungian theory.
