Are you a “commander”, a “campaigner”, a “defender” or an “adventurer”? Do they remind you of an emperor, a general, such as Napoleon? or a Chinese poet laureate Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty?
Chances are you knew about Myers–Briggs Type Indicator, better known as the 16 Personality Test, and you’ve taken that test. But some people might not yet. Then you may want to get to know what the 16 Personality Test is about so you are not “behind” certain social culture.
MBTI is not a new invention, but thanks to all kinds of social media out there, the population using it as a social tool is growing faster than ever. You go to this site, spend 10 to 12 minutes answering questions and reading the interpretation of the results you get. The simplest result is in the form of a four-letter code which stands for your type of personality. Then, you share them with friends. It’s fun and useful. You may hear people of all ages telling you, “I want to see if this test really understands me”, “The base of the 16 personality test is not much different from the Horoscope, but the test is faster for me to identify myself and friends.”
MBTI or the 16 Personality Test is not fully scientifically solid. Use it with discretion and keep the fun in your mind. Enjoy.
星座一直是古今中外受年輕人歡迎的話題，最近MBTI似乎取而代之。超過八億的測驗人次，驚人吧？
有人以“社交密碼”形容這個人格測驗，有人說網絡時代一切要快，用MBTI或其更廣爲人知的16個類型人格測驗來篩選朋友或員工，有用，而且好玩。
你是分析家？外交家？守護者？探險家？當你通過這個簡單的問卷回答得知結果時，你會不會聯想起古今中外的名人，例如拿破侖或是唐朝詩人李白，發現他們原來就是守護者或者外交家？現在流行的MBTI十六型人格測試結果分為這四個大類，
一共16種人格都有著四個字母的代號。很多年輕或和不那麽年輕的人用這些代號交流，一聽就懂。你跟上了嗎？很容易，上它的網站，點開測驗，10到15分鐘内做完，看看得到的結果和分析是什麽。相對於學術機構使用的心理測驗，MBTI的科學根據、信度、效度一定是大大不夠的，但這不影響使用者認爲它能提供的樂趣和用處。大概正是因为MBTI相對簡單温和，而且提供36種語言進行測驗，得以讓它在世界各地流行起來，各種年齡，各種地位，都有人因此談笑生風。特別現在是社交媒體當道的時代，用MBTI在人際關係中破冰、分享自己是誰，也許算是一種社交上的通用語言。跟上流行文化，不妨做一下測驗。
