How SBTI turned MBTI into China's latest viral meme

From: Technode

A meme-style personality quiz called SBTI has spread quickly across Chinese social media, as users repost screenshots of results labeled in slang-heavy, self-mocking terms. At first glance, it looks like another version of MBTI. In practice, it works more like a fast-moving internet joke built out of mood, irony, and online shorthand. On April 9, searches for “sbti” on WeChat Index hit 40.85 million, while related discussions reportedly surpassed 20 million across social platforms.

A joke built on a familiar format

Part of the appeal starts with the name itself. “SB” is shorthand for shabi, a crude and strongly offensive Chinese insult, which gives SBTI an irreverent tone from the outset. The quiz then builds on one of the internet’s most recognizable formats: answer a set of questions and get a four-letter type. Users later turned those results into a social label by reposting screenshots across social platforms.

But unlike MBTI’s relatively polished personality categories, SBTI delivers labels that feel closer to memes, moods, and exaggerated online archetypes. It uses the familiar shell of personality typing, but strips away most of the seriousness. The result is something that feels less like a tool for self-understanding and more like an instantly legible social joke.

More meme than personality test

That also helps explain why people got it so quickly. SBTI does not really try to tell users who they are in any stable or psychological sense. It works more like a snapshot of how they feel they are functioning at a given moment. The labels are funny, a little absurd, and sometimes a little harsh, but that is also what makes them so shareable.

People repost them less as formal self-assessments than as quick, recognizable jokes about their current state. The appeal lies less in accuracy than in recognition: users see the label, laugh, and feel that it somehow fits. In that sense, SBTI behaves more like a meme than a personality framework.

The creator, a Bilibili uploader, has said the quiz was made for entertainment, that she is not a psychology professional, and that the current version is only an early one.

According to the original Chinese article, the project began as an attempt to persuade a friend to stop drinking, and even included a hidden “drunk” personality type. That has not stopped it from spreading. If anything, SBTI’s appeal seems to lie in how little seriousness it asks from users: it takes the shell of MBTI and turns it into a low-stakes way to say, this is what my current state looks like online.

How SBTI turned MBTI into China's latest viral meme

From: Technode

A meme-style personality quiz called SBTI has spread quickly across Chinese social media, as users repost screenshots of results labeled in slang-heavy, self-mocking terms. At first glance, it looks like another version of MBTI. In practice, it works more like a fast-moving internet joke built out of mood, irony, and online shorthand. On April 9, searches for “sbti” on WeChat Index hit 40.85 million, while related discussions reportedly surpassed 20 million across social platforms.

一款名为SBTI的段子式人格测试在中国社交媒体上迅速走红，用户们纷纷转发那些用满屏网络俚语和自嘲标签标注结果的截图。乍看之下，它仿佛是MBTI（迈尔斯-布里格斯类型指标）的又一个变种。但实际上，它更像是一个糅合了当下情绪、反讽意味和网络流行语的、快速传播的网络玩笑。4月9日，“sbti”在微信指数上的搜索量高达4085万，据称相关话题在各大社交平台的总讨论量也突破了2000万。

meme (/ˈmiːm/ )是指在同一个文化氛围中，人与人之间传播的思想、行为或者风格，音译为媒母、米姆、谜米、弥母，又名模因、拟子等。其实「meme」指的就是在网上迅速传播，流行起来的一些概念（或图像、视频等）等东西，可以直接解释成我们常说「梗」、「段子」、「表情包」，词典中定义为：a type of behaviour that is passed from one member of a group to another, not in the genesbut by another means such as people copying it；举个🌰：Take a look at the top ten internet memes for this past year. 看一下去年互联网上的十大梗。

除了表示“性格，个性”，还可以表示“名人，名流”，英文解释为“a famous person”举个🌰：The show is hosted by a popular TV personality. 该节目由一位广受欢迎的电视名人主持。

screenshot /ˈskriːn.ʃɒt/ 表示“屏幕截图”，英文解释为“an image created by copying part or all of the display on a computer screen at a particular moment, for example in order to demonstrate the use of a piece of software”

slang /slæŋ/ 1）作名词，表示“俚语”，英文解释为“very informal language that is usually spoken rather than written, used especially by particular groups of people”如：a slang expression 一句俚语；

2）作动词，表示“谩骂”，英文解释为“to attack with angry, uncontrolled language”举个🌰：The players started slanging each other in the middle of the game. 比赛到中局阶段时，球员们开始互相谩骂。

mock /mɒk/ 作形容词，表示“假的；仿制的；假装的”，英文解释为“not real but appearing or pretending to be exactly like something”如：mock cream 人造奶油，mock leather 人造革，mock surprise 假装出来的惊讶。

作动词，表示“嘲笑；（为了取笑）模仿”，英文解释为“If someone mocks you, they show or pretend that they think you are foolish or inferior, for example by saying something funny about you, or by imitating your behaviour.”举个🌰：I thought you were mocking me. 我以为你在嘲笑我。

🎬电影《消失的爱人》（Gone Girl）中的台词提到：If you need to mock somebody, mock me. 如果你们要嘲弄什么人，嘲弄我。

类似的一个词：

📍imitate 表示“模仿，仿效”，英文解释为“to behave in a similar way to someone or something else, or to copy the speech or behaviour, etc. of someone or something” mock作名词，熟词僻义，表示“模拟考试”，英文解释为“an exam taken at school for practice before a real exam”

irony /ˈaɪ.rə.ni/ 表示“具有讽刺意味的情况；出乎意料的情况；令人啼笑皆非的事情”，英文解释为“a situation in which something which was intended to have a particular result has the opposite or a very different result”举个🌰：The irony (of it) is that ……. 具讽刺意味的是，……。

1）表示“简约表达法”，英文解释为“You can use shorthand to mean a quick or simple way of referring to something.”举个🌰：He uses the shorthand of "second age" for the group of younger people who are creating families. 他用“第二代”来简单指称那些更年轻、正在组建家庭的人。

2）表示“速记（法）”，英文解释为“Shorthand is a quick way of writing and uses signs to represent words or syllables. Shorthand is sometimes used by secretaries and journalists to write down what someone is saying.”举个🌰：He took notes in shorthand. 他用速记法记笔记。

surpass /səˈpɑːs/ 表示“超过，优于，胜过”，英文解释为“to do or be better than”举个🌰：His time for the 100 metres surpassed the previous world record by one hundredth of a second. 他以0.01秒的优势打破了100米短跑的前世界纪录。

A joke built on a familiar format 套着常见模板的玩笑

Part of the appeal starts with the name itself. “SB” is shorthand for shabi, a crude and strongly offensive Chinese insult, which gives SBTI an irreverent tone from the outset. The quiz then builds on one of the internet's most recognizable formats: answer a set of questions and get a four-letter type. Users later turned those results into a social label by reposting screenshots across social platforms.

其吸引力部分源于名称本身。“SB”是中文粗口“傻逼”的缩写，这个粗俗且极具冒犯性的词汇，从一开始就给SBTI奠定了戏谑不恭的基调。测试本身则沿用了网络世界最易辨识的套路之一：回答一系列问题，获得一个四字母类型代码。随后，用户通过在各大社交平台转发结果截图，将这些代码变成了彰显个性的社交标签。

irreverent /ɪˈrev.ər.ənt/ 表示“不尊敬的，无礼的”，英文解释为“not showing the expected respect for official, important, or holy things”如：an irreverent comment/approach/attitude 无礼的批评/方式/态度。

at/from the outset 表示“从一开始；开端”，英文解释为“at/from the beginning of sth”举个🌰：I made it clear right from the outset that I disapproved. 从一开始我就明确地说我不赞成。

But unlike MBTI's relatively polished personality categories, SBTI delivers labels that feel closer to memes, moods, and exaggerated online archetypes. It uses the familiar shell of personality typing, but strips away most of the seriousness. The result is something that feels less like a tool for self-understanding and more like an instantly legible social joke.

但与MBTI那套相对精致的人格分类不同，SBTI产出的标签更贴近网络段子、当下情绪和夸张的网络人物原型。它虽然借用了人格分类的熟悉外壳，却几乎摒弃了所有的严肃性。最终的产物，给人的感觉不像用于自我剖析的工具，反倒像一个让人秒懂、便于传播的社交玩笑。

polished /ˈpɒl.ɪʃt/ 1）表示“磨光的；擦亮的”，英文解释为“having been polished”如：a highly polished floor 擦得很亮的地板。

2）表示“优雅而又自信的”，英文解释为“A polished person has style and confidence.”举个🌰：He's suave, polished, and charming. 他文雅、自信，富有魅力。

3）表示“完美的，精良的”，英文解释为“showing great skill”举个🌰：The dancers gave a polished performance. 舞蹈演员的表演很精湛。

exaggerated /ɪɡˈzædʒ.ə.reɪ.tɪd/ 表示“夸张的”，英文解释为“seeming larger, more important, better, or worse than it really is”如：exaggerated reports of the problem 问题的夸大报道。

archetype /ˈɑː.kɪ.taɪp/ 表示“原型；典型”，英文解释为“a typical example of something, or the original model of something from which others are copied”举个🌰：The United States is the archetype of a federal society. 美国是典型的联邦制社会。

shell /ʃel/ 1）表示“（尤指坚果、蛋、某些动物的）壳”，英文解释为“the hard outer covering of something, especially nuts, eggs, and some animals”举个🌰：Brazil nuts have very hard shells. 巴西果的壳很坚硬。

2）表示“（人的）表面性格，表面人格，表面感情，外表”，英文解释为“the outer layer of sb's personality; how they seem to be or feel”举个🌰：She had developed a shell of indifference. 她养成一副冷漠的外表。

3）表示“炮弹”，英文解释为“a container, usually with a pointed end, that is filled with explosives and shot from a large gun”

legible /ˈledʒ.ə.bəl/ 表示“（笔迹或字体）清晰的，易读的，清楚的”，英文解释为“Legible writing or print can be read easily.”举个🌰：Her handwriting is barely legible. 她写的字几乎无法辨认。

More meme than personality test 与其说是人格测试，不如说是网络段子

That also helps explain why people got it so quickly. SBTI does not really try to tell users who they are in any stable or psychological sense. It works more like a snapshot of how they feel they are functioning at a given moment. The labels are funny, a little absurd, and sometimes a little harsh, but that is also what makes them so shareable.

这也有助于解释为何人们能迅速领会其精髓。SBTI并非真要从一个稳定或心理学的层面，去告诉用户“你是谁”。它更像是对用户在某个特定时刻自我感知状态的一次快照。这些标签风趣、略带荒诞，有时甚至有点毒舌，但正是这些特质，让它们具备了极强的传播性。

snapshot /ˈsnæp.ʃɒt/ 1）表示“照片，快照”，英文解释为“a photograph”

2）表示“简介；简要情况”，英文解释为“a piece of information or short description that gives an understanding of a situation at a particular time”举个🌰：Credit rating agencies provide a snapshot of the risks an investment poses at any one time. 信用评分机构提供的是某一时刻投资风险的简要情况。

此处snapshot是一个比喻用法，意思是“快照”、“瞬间的景象”或“一个时间点的缩影”。snapshot原指用相机快速拍下的照片，捕捉某个瞬间的景象。

People repost them less as formal self-assessments than as quick, recognizable jokes about their current state. The appeal lies less in accuracy than in recognition: users see the label, laugh, and feel that it somehow fits. In that sense, SBTI behaves more like a meme than a personality framework.

人们转发这些结果，与其说是进行严肃的自我评估，不如说是用一个快速、易共鸣的玩笑来调侃自己当下的状态。它的吸引力不在于精准，而在于认同：用户看到标签，会心一笑，感觉它莫名贴合。从这个角度看，SBTI的运行逻辑更接近一个网络段子，而非一套人格分析框架。

The creator, a Bilibili uploader, has said the quiz was made for entertainment, that she is not a psychology professional, and that the current version is only an early one.

该测试的创作者是一位B站UP主。她表示，这个测试仅供娱乐，自己并非心理学专业人士，目前的版本也只是一个早期版本。

According to the original Chinese article, the project began as an attempt to persuade a friend to stop drinking, and even included a hidden “drunk” personality type. That has not stopped it from spreading. If anything, SBTI's appeal seems to lie in how little seriousness it asks from users: it takes the shell of MBTI and turns it into a low-stakes way to say, this is what my current state looks like online.

根据原中文文章所述，该项目最初是为了劝说一位朋友戒酒而发起的，甚至还包括一个隐藏的“醉酒”人格类型。但这并未阻止它的传播。如果说有什么特别之处，SBTI的吸引力似乎在于它不需要用户过于认真对待：它借用了MBTI的框架，将其转化为一种低风险的表达方式，用来描述“我当前在网络上的状态是什么样的”。

persuade /pəˈsweɪd/ 表示“劝服；说服”，英文解释为“to make someone do or believe something by giving them a good reason to do it or by talking to that person and making them believe it”举个🌰：If she doesn't want to go, nothing you can say will persuade her. 如果她不想去，你说什么也劝不动她。
