"Am I an 'I' person or an 'E' person? "Many young people are crazy about this popular topic and they just take a hot personality test called MBTI to find out the answer.
MBTI groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter "I" or"E", such as "ENTJ" and "INFP". "I" is short for"Introverted(内向的)"while"E"stands for"Extroverted(外向的)"
As the standard for personality tests, many companies and organizations depend on MBTI to help them choose people for certain positions And now in China, Internet users are using it as a tool to guide their lives and relationships.
But there are problems with MBTI. The test is too black and white. The results place people into only one of each of the types; for example, someone is either an introvert or an extrovert. But many people would surely sit somewhere in the middle of these two. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, he might become more social like an "E" person. According to experts, this is called "masking(伪装)". That is hiding your true personality in some situations.
Research has found that over 50% of people get a different result when they take MBTI for a second time. Some find it hard to answer some questions and they ask, "I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an 'I' person or an 'E' person?"
The personality test may show something you don't know about yourself and can even be a fun icebreaker question when meeting new friends. And that's all it is-for fun. Knowing someone's MBTI result doesn't mean you really know this person!
