Aušra Augustinavičiūtė (April 4, 1927 – August 19, 2005) was a Lithuanian psychologist, author of numerous scientific theories and discoveries, and the founder of Socionics. According the Socionics Institute, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences recognized Socionics as a discovery and awarded Augustinavičiūtė a diploma and a medal named after Pyotr Kapitsa in 1995.^[1]

Augustinavičiūtė was born in Lithuania not far from the city of Kaunas. In 1956 she graduated from the economic faculty of Vilnius University as a financier. She worked at the Ministry of Finance of Lithuania and later as a teacher of political economics in different educational institutions in Vilnius.

Her scientific works, with the exception of few, were not published during the period of Soviet power, but became more and more popular during the 1990s. The current structure of her theory was standardized by Alexander Bukalov, Victor Gulenko, and Gregory Reinin after the founding of the Socionics Institute in Kiev, Ukraine.
