Convergence of Psychological Space (MBTI, Big Five Aspects, HEXACO, Enneagram, HiTOP)
Cross-framework alignment of Socionics.
Socionics holds more of the 5 popular systems than they hold of it.
The 35 scales peak on 8 of the 15 dichotomies, and 32 of those peaks are strong. The exceptions are Intellect and Openness in BFAS and Somatoform in HiTOP.
Four dichotomies that share their letters with socionics.
Extraversion / IntroversionIntuition / SensingFeeling / ThinkingPerceiving / Judging
What each dichotomy marks
The four MBTI letters map one to one onto four of the 15, spill onto two, and miss 9.
Thinking additionally carries the antagonistic qualities and Feeling the prosocial ones, which socionics gives a pole of its own.
