Here's my attempt at reducing V. Talanov's list to a minimum (15 traits for each type), while keeping a balanced portrayal of types. As usual, remember that it is all subjective, so my views are not completely aligned with Talanov. Sources primarily are https://sociotoday.narod.ru and his VK page (summed up at https://talanov-works.carrd.co/).
For some general mainstream socionic theory, see here, from Sedecology (not cited here,but useful).
The 16 descriptions are followed by x-vs-y traits, filled ad hoc (use webpage search function to look for them). Keep in mind that these x-vs-y shouldn’t generally be used to evaluate a type in itself.
Also keep in mind that according to this "school", intermediate types exist. Try to imagine what a combination of two "mirrors" would look like. For a harder exercise, pick two "mirages" or "extinguishers". For an extra-hard assignment, pick two revision types, or "superegos".
If you’re already familiar with socionics, try to compare your views on types with ones here. How are they similar or different? If you come here from MBTI, try the same with MBTI. Which MBTI type does a description remind you of? What are the differences, or things you consider strange?
ILE (ENTp):
1. He is characterized by a constant need for novelty and change, increased interest in new things and innovations.
2. He likes multiple choice situations, when there are many options to choose from. In general, he prefers variety and maximum freedom of choice in everything. His love for multivariance is closely correlated with innovation, with the desire to "get away" from the old and familiar.

8. He hates all kinds of prohibitions and "can'ts" in the sphere of regulating social behavior.
9. The key word for him is interest. He may abandon everything he has done before, if he feels something more interesting nearby. In any case, he is more interested in the initial phase (the phase of ideas and problem-setting) rather than the final phase (the phase of finishing and debugging), which is why he often quits before finishing.

11. He often doesn't care about observing accepted social norms of behavior, and even less about how others observe them. He can't stand edifying conversations.
12. Due to weak cognitive empathy, he experiences difficulties in social contact with people who are not like himself - hence the desire to unite with people who are identical to himself, the desire to have a “twin” around him. Also typical for LII.

5. He doesn't know how to intrigue and manipulate people (and doesn't want to), he doesn't like these activities at all.

12. There is no outward low-emotional "coldness" in him, so he is never taken for an unapproachable prideful stuck-up purely by his outward behavior. On the contrary, they see him as a kindly good-tempered person, which is also not quite right.

8. He is neat and elegant in his appearance - he watches his hair, the general neatness of his appearance, carefully selects the most beautiful and suitable clothes. He is attentive to the appearance of other people.
9. People of his type usually like social roles related to care, increasing emotional and psychological comfort of other people (veterinarian, psychologist, educator, social worker - often chosen life roles).

12. He is used to a very short distance of communication, he does not understand the inviolability of other people's personal space.

It’s even likely that he usually lacks any noticeable psycho-vegetative reactions in response to fright (like sweating, heart palpitations, trembling hands)
6. High perseverance, excellent "breakthrough" abilities - persistence and vigor in the pursuit of the intended and in obtaining the desired.
7. It is difficult for him to be "emotionally flexible", difficult to restrain himself in communication with people. This is a consequence, firstly, of the fact that he is not sensitive to the nuances of other people's behavior. Secondly, he does not know how to adapt and even more so "bend". Thirdly, in conflicts, he often starts to "go out of the limit" in an escalating manner.
8. This psychotype is highly predisposed to service in the army or other hierarchical power structures.

11. In love, he more often liked to be the conqueror rather than the conquered.
12. He is often intolerant of other people's points of view, without any fear of spoiling relations with anyone (he has almost no such fears at all).

14. He is characterized by a high degree of arrogance, cantankerousness, intransigence, recalcitrance, disagreement - with an accusatory bias and a tendency to confrontation. That's why he's a bad flatterer or harmonizer.

3. He has strong self-control of his desires, emotions, and his behavior.
4. He does not think with an associative "fan" of thoughts, almost chaotically directed in different directions from the starting point, but with a mostly linear sequence of thoughts, rather strictly following from each other on the basis of their chronological or cause-and-effect relationship. For this reason, it is very difficult for him to change something inside his ready-made action programs - "viscosity" of character.
5. He is characterized by suspicion and ill-will towards everything unexpected, new or alien, capable of destroying or changing the established order in his territory, or capable of disobeying it, or capable of influencing the stability of this order in any way.

15. Easily assimilates socio-ethical prohibitions and norms of his environment, shows special consistency in their fulfillment.
IEI (INFp):
1. First of all, he is focused on his inner ethical world, the world of feelings and experiences. This often leads to quite an artistic personality.
2. In communicating with people, he is emotionally flexible, attentive and knows how to adapt to his interlocutor.
3. Excellent insight into the feelings and thoughts of other people, "infecting" oneself with their condition, acting out their emotions, and through this understanding of other people's feelings.
4. The ability to easily get used to someone else's role and image, including identifying oneself with the hero of a work of art (this ability in psychology is often called "fantasy empathy"; it is also close to another psychological concept - "theory of mind", the ability to model someone else's train of thought).
5. He does not like to set himself tasks that are too complex in a logical and organizational sense.
6. Technical innovations, business risks, ways to increase the efficiency of a particular enterprise - all such things are of very little interest to him and cannot seriously captivate him.
7. He has little sensitivity to logical connections between objects and events (connections of belonging and subordination, hierarchy, cause and effect); the ability for a "dry" formal logical analysis of available material is poorly developed (unless there’s an additional accent on Ti).
8. Similarly to SEI, it is difficult for him to follow the practical benefit - he does a lot out of whim, according to his mood, for the sake of beauty, or generally "just like that" - because it got into his head.
9. Frequent feeling of instability, unsteadiness, "unanchoredness" of one's personality, excessive suggestibility of one's environment.
10. He likes strong, dominant personalities (like his dual SLE), especially of the gender he's attracted to.

12. He aims at thinking and dreaming rather than at productive action.
13. He is prone to self-deprecation, often liking the role of "sufferer".
14. He is constantly creeping back and forth in his mind, imagining past situations and versions of the future, or pondering the springs of events - both past and future, and often simply fantastic ones.
15. "My beautiful melancholy" - this is often about him.
EIE (ENFj):
1. He has a strong intonational expressiveness in his voice.
2. People of his type rarely choose simple and "quiet" working professions associated with individual manual labor in the field of technology. Their preferred occupations are romantic and “grand”, even “global”.
3. It is very easy for him to talk in detail about his feelings that he is experiencing now or has experienced in the past. He has no difficulty in finding the right words.
4. He easily loses his temper, quickly coming to an agitated state (a state of reactive, defensive aggression is easily induced in him). Easily and instantly "winds up" in response to insults and any "attacks", and himself is able to instantly "wind up" in response simply to his own thoughts.
5. It is very possible that he likes to speak "beautifully", with some theatricality.
6. It is very important for him to be conscious of his personal uniqueness, allowing him to be constantly in the focus of other people's human passions and emotions.
7. Just like IEI, high "fantasy empathy".
8. Often combines anxiety and aggressiveness.
9. Is characterized by high emotional passion - easily and willingly, on the rise, infected by some excited emotional state, in turn begins to instill it and broadcast it to others.
10. He is characterized by demonstrativeness in behavior. He tries to draw attention to himself, to take "as much space as possible" in front of the public, sometimes for this purpose resorts to posturing and extravagance.
11. He considers himself, not without some justification, a man astute to other people's interests, weaknesses and shortcomings, a man who usually guesses easily the intentions of others.
12. Compared to many other people, he is able both to love more strongly and selflessly and to hate more strongly and passionately.
13. Most likely, his muscles are often tense even at rest (have an increased background tone). Hence the subjective feeling of unrelenting muscle tension, angularity of movements.
14. There is a possibility (above the population average) that he may have self-directed aggression and masochistic tendencies. Sometimes he may experience pleasure after pain (increased release of endorphins).
15. He finds it difficult to put out of his mind what has passed. Often immerses himself in past emotional memories - both very long ago, emotionally intense, and very recent and fresh, wondering about the rightness or wrongness of his once committed actions.
SEE (ESFp):
1. When he is among people, he does not avoid contact at all. Just like EIE, not at all embarrassed if attention is drawn to him (two most demonstrative types).
2. He has excellent psychological capability to build people into informal structures like network marketing, and further motivate them and set them up.
3. Most likely, he has a need for constant demonstrative emphasizing of his superiority (look at how awesome I am).
4. Wherever he is, it is important for him to be the very first, not the second - the champion, the leader (i.e. it is better for him to be the biggest fish in a small lake than the second largest fish in a big sea)
5. Enjoys buying new things for themselves more than other people. Accordingly, other financial conditions being equal, makes these purchases more often than others.
6. There is not a drop of shyness or timidity in him - he is contactable, reacts instantly to any questions or verbal provocations (quickness of verbal reaction), tends to interrupt other people in conversation, in communication he dominates over interlocutors.
7. Generalizing inductive analysis, i.e. the ability to identify common features and general explanatory regularities in surrounding objects and phenomena, is difficult for him. He quickly gets bored and irritated by such tasks. But he is good and quickly notices and understands moods, inner feelings and mutual relations of all his vis-a-vis.
8. He is characterized by high decisiveness. Makes decisions quickly, without hesitation and definitively (unlike EIE).
9. Good flatterer, unlike SLE/ILE.
10. He likes to slightly falsify, boast, embellish, he has a strong desire to be in the spotlight and in the center of attention, increased ostentatious demonstrativeness of behavior - craving admiration and veneration from others who recognize him as their leader. Close to this "typical" psychological phenotype is the phenotype of a populist ringleader, a journalist of scandalous chronicles, a toastmaster, a network marketer.
11. He has the gift of persuasive insincerity (knows how to be a convincing liar).
12. Unlike EIE, rarely fixated on own past mistakes and failures.
13. He is constantly active, always among people, always on the run. People around him appreciate his activity, cheerful sociability (common qualities with ESE).

4. Is characterized by a high personal commitment to norms of morality, social rules and a sense of duty in social behavior.
5. He does not like situations of multiple choice, when there are many variants of an action or decision to choose from. This property is very closely correlated with conservatism of habits and skills (one thing almost always follows another).
6. Responsibility, discipline and adherence to established prohibitions are his virtues, he is not an anarchist in his behavior one bit.
7. He probably has an increased tendency to have edifying conversations (which annoy XLE's so much).
8. This psychotype is more often characterized by a long memory for the good done to him by someone.
9. He is characterized by strong routine, domestic perfectionism (thoroughness and neatness in everyday life).
10. Unlike LSI, prone to believing that if patriotism leads to long-term material deprivation of people, that's bullshit, not patriotism.

12. Sensitivity to even slight emotional nuances in people's behavior. Attention and interest in the relationships of others.
13. A patriot of his "small homeland", sentimental towards local traditions, often knows quite a lot about them. But grand imperial "Beta quadra-like" designs leave him cold, if not disgusted. He is an opponent of the view that the interests of the state should be much higher than the interests of the individual, and that people are just cogs in a big machine.
14. Social interaction - the ability to put oneself in the place of other people, "feeling" them from the inside.
15. Just like many SEI's and ESE's, he likes animals, likes to grow plants at home.

0. The LII/ILI pair is the closest "quasi" pair in world perception and behavior.

6. He is characterized by high secrecy, restraint and self-control in everything he says. As a rule, he gives out very little information about himself and his affairs to other people.
7. He constantly feels a lack of energy in himself, therefore he spends energy very restrained, spares and saves both physical and emotional strength.
8. He very much dislikes situations and human environments with high emotional intensity and with a strong "emotional swing", tries to avoid them.
9. There is a high probability that he often has the "illusion of anticipation" (this is when the future seems to "float" on the present, and a person feels the upcoming moment so clearly as if it has already come - for example, words not yet spoken by another person are anticipated and arise in the head in advance).
10. Reason and rationality influence his behavior much more strongly than ancient animal instincts.
11. Is not characterized by a commitment to division into "us" and "them", to team groupism and the principle of "those who are not with us are against us".
12. Aspires to independence from verticals of power management.
13. Commitment to pluralism (against uniformity of opinions and unification, in favor of pluralism and multipartyism).
14. Shrewd to other people's mediocrity, immediately sees it through the mask.
15. Constantly replaying in his head scenes of possible developments with imaginary participation of real persons.
LIE (ENTj):
1. He is always very keen on the ideas of increasing the efficiency of certain undertakings - for the sake of this he often offers technical innovations, unorthodox ways, willingly takes risks.
2. He has an enterprising entrepreneurial talent, which he himself realizes (the ability to live in a constant pushing tension, sensing all promising initiatives ahead of others, and determination with a willingness to take risks).
3. He has strongly developed business acumen, with an emphasis on following the criteria of payback, benefit, efficiency.
4. He likes to set very logically-organizationally complex tasks for himself.
5. He is characterized by high cheerful vitality, the desire for responsible work and career growth - and, accordingly, he is completely alien to the role of passive and indifferent observer-contemplator.

7. He turns to the future more often in his thoughts than to the past. He is able and likes to think often about the future, make forecasts and long-term plans.
8. He is probably indifferent to the beauties and life of nature.
9. He is attentive, organized, purposeful - not contemplative, dreamy and detached from what is happening.
10. Most likely, his muscles are often tense even at rest (have an increased background tone). Hence the subjective feeling of muscle tension that does not let go.
11. He likes to work until he is very tired, to the point of exhaustion. He knows and likes to catch a masochistic "high" from this rolling sensation of fatigue.
12. He has strongly developed leadership skills and needs and likes to seize the initiative.
13. He is characterized by logical flexibility (a “charming rogue-ish” trait) - easily and quickly finds justifying arguments for any necessary thesis, even for two contradictory ones.
14. Pleasures very rarely distract him from current affairs and plans - they are not in his values at all. He easily ignores all the pleasures, conveniences and consumer values of the current moment.
15. People of his type usually do not find anything interesting for themselves in the work of a stylist or makeup artist. Somewhat less pronounced, but social roles associated with care and increasing the emotional and psychological comfort of other people are also relatively rare for it.
IEE (ENFp):
1. In everything he strives for deviation from standards, for “magic” and uniqueness. He strives not to narrow the meanings to complete unambiguity, but, on the contrary, expands them to the point of obtaining multivariance and feelings of multicolor and unexpected novelty.
2. Like SEE, he has excellent psychological ability to build people into informal structures like network marketing and further motivate them and set them up.
3. His thinking is not "literalist", he "sees the forest for the trees" and is not picky about terminological minutiae.
4. He has weak sensitivity to logical connections between objects and events (connections of belonging and subordination, hierarchy, cause and effect); the ability of "dry" formal logical analysis of available material is poorly developed.
5. Regarding statements of others and the order of the world around him, multivalence and pluralism are always better than unambiguity for him.
6. He dislikes unchanging, frozen states (like those in the Snow Queen's kingdom) more than anyone else. Firstly, he does not tolerate anything frozen and eternal - everything must live and change. Secondly, he does not like anything crystalline and symmetrical - in his aesthetics, something must, for the sake of beauty, break out of the general row, breaking the prescribed rules.
7. He has a strong instinct for novelty, a craving for variety and the ability to enjoy it, the need for change, new experiences, travel, curiosity about what is happening in his environment, quick satiety with monotony.
8. He is not good at managing through formal administrative methods, but is good at resolving issues through trusting meetings in an informal circle. Good flatterer and manager of people.
9. Ability to rationalize unpleasant emotional experiences quickly and effectively (i.e., the ability to find good in bad things, thereby avoiding frustration).
10. People of his type usually like social roles related to care, increasing emotional and psychological comfort of other people (veterinarian, psychologist, educator, social worker - often chosen life roles)
11. He likes and knows how to entertain people, to cheer them up. He is a good donor of positive emotions, if he is interested in a person, and if his level of general intelligence allows him to understand.
12. He is very far from any conservatism in his plans and behavior. He likes novelty, everything unexplored and diverse, prefers creative and non-standard solutions in his activities.
13. Concentrating on several concurrent affairs, it is easy for him to have several simultaneous focuses of attention and to switch quickly between them.
14. He often has strong feelings of pleasant and attractive anticipation (including frequent dreams and hopes). High excitability and great strength of his urges, as well as his excessive optimism in forecasts are connected with this.
15. He has a strongly developed probabilistic thinking, able to mentally deal with probabilities, ambiguous (uncertain) situations and vague sets without clear boundaries.
EII (INFj):
1. He is characterized by conscientiousness, a developed sense of guilt, an instinct for justice, and respect for the rights and interests of others (primarily those with whom he comes in contact).
2. This type is characterized by increased obligation towards relatives and friends.
3. Insolence and impudence in behavior are not his traits at all. Rather, it is just the opposite - he is more often cautious, hesitant and shy.
4. He has strongly developed affective empathy for other people's negative emotions (pain, grief, fear, anxiety). This means that he is easily "infected" with these feelings from people with whom he communicates, easily and often feels internal synthonic empathy with such feelings in his acquaintances.
5. He has a significantly heightened negative reaction to any violation of social and moral rules he observes and to any immorality and dishonesty in people.
6. He is characterized by thought "viscosity" and slow-moving sluggishness - with frequent inhibition and "getting stuck" in making the necessary decisions.
