为什么SBTI这么火?Why is SBTI so popular?
我觉得有两个原因。I think there are two reasons.

MBTI从好玩变成了一种社交压力。MBTI went from being fun to being social pressure.
你"必须"知道自己是什么类型。You "must" know what type you are.

MBTI变成了另一种标签。MBTI became another label.
另一种要求你"做正确的人"的工具。Another tool demanding you "be the right person."
你就是一个吗喽。You're just a Mahou.
第二是中国年轻人的心态变了。Second, the mentality of Chinese young people has changed.
在内卷的压力下。Under the pressure of involution.
他们不想再"自我提升"了。They don't want to "self-improve" anymore.
他们想自嘲。They want to make fun of themselves.
想笑一笑。Want to laugh a little.
想跟朋友一起说"我们都是打工人"。Want to tell friends "we're all just working stiffs."
SBTI完美地捕捉到了这种情绪。SBTI perfectly captured this emotion.
它不给你希望。It doesn't give you hope.
不告诉你"你是一个有潜力的领导者"。Doesn't tell you "you're a leader with potential."
它说"你就是一个装死的人"。It says "you're just a person who plays dead."
因为你知道那是真的。Because you know it's true.
一个一分钟的测试。A one-minute test.
零心理学依据。Zero psychological basis.
但是比MBTI更真实。But more real than MBTI.
因为它不假装了解你。Because it doesn't pretend to understand you.
它只是让你笑一下。It just makes you laugh.
然后继续当你的吗喽。Then you go back to being your Mahou self.
