- Did you know that in Korea one of the most asked questions when you meet someone for the first time is "what is your MBTI?"

Loud so that people in the back can hear it too: Introvert doesn't equal shy. ^^" Okay? Okay.
I’m introverted and couldn’t agree more with your comment 😂
Exactly!!!!
You see most of the reactions here do not actually research MBTI with much depth. Because the I for introverted and the E for extraverted do not mean the person is actually introverted or extraverted.
Also shy is something someone usually has when they dont have confidence but once you get confidence then you are a totally different person in other peoples eyes.
The MBTI is based on the work of Carl Jung, who invented the terms introvert and extrovert. I don’t get why the original definitions of these terms have been misinterpreted .
Might want to check out Carl Jung’s book Psychological Types.
mbti can be so much fun but i feel like they really kinda went overboard with it in korea.. and the worst part is that they mainly rely on the 16personalities test (which is why majority of people and k-idols for example are heavily mistyped😭) and not based on cognitive functions analysis and theory.
like thinking your mbti type changes and how enjoying your alone time = introvert.. when in reality the “i” just stands for the first function being introverted! so for example isfp are generally even more social than entp even though they are an “i” type, because in the actual mbti theory it simply does not stand for the same kind of extrovert/introvert meaning that people correlate it with by the 16personalities test standards 🤷♀️
As someone who works in mental health, I find these answers quite interesting. People have different views of how accurate the MBTI test is. But a majority of them are not aware of the fact that most of the personality tests you see online are watered down versions of the Jungian type test. In fact, the MBTI test was inspired by the original personality type test (created by Carl Jung in 1921), which has far more types than just 16 simple ones. One woman in the video mentioned that it's not easy to categorise people's personalities, but they can put into broad categories that give you a general idea of an individual's personality. I really liked that answer. Humans are way too complex to be categorised into specific personalities, and the MBTI test is, imo, too generic and unreliable to define your personality with. And then you've got external stimuli that heavily influence your answers if you were to do the test in an uncontrolled setting.
With the popularity of the MBTI test, I hope there's more awareness on the fact that we can't rely on personality types to build connections and socialise well. It takes more than a test and a category to create a long-lasting bond. :)
Finally someone said it now my psych degree shall vouch on how mbti is false pretense. And I agree with you wholeheartedly
I agree too. 💙🦋
As an INFJ I can truly say the MBTI is accurate. What is INaccurate, however, is people’s interpretation of it. Everyone possesses characteristics of every type. Everyone is more extroverted at times, and more introverted at other times. Instead of saying “I am this abcd type,” it would be more accurate to say, “My primary type is INFJ, my secondary type is INTJ,” etc.
I'm moving to Korea this May, I can not express how informative you're channel is to me. Thank you for being so brave, asking random people these questions. I've been able to somewhat understand how I could be viewed in this society. I really want to be comfortable there and for people to treat me like they would want to be treated hopefully I can find a mate too lolz
To be honest, most men aren't genuinely interested in MBTI. I'm just feigning interest for my girlfriend's sake. The majority of Koreans view it as a fun activity, with few people being truly 'obsessed' with it. It's simply a trend. Constellations, blood types, palmistry, fortune telling, MBTI... these trends keep evolving.
I find that all societies feel the need to categorize and judge people with some system or another.
This is all just me theorizing, but I think it's probably just a mental phenomena similar to the way that we instinctively categorize and group information in order to better retain it. It's also association. I find that this type of behavior in humans is going to take place one way or another. If you encounter someone that you hate and they are wearing a specific article of clothing, I think you may have a negative first impression of anybody wearing that same piece from then on. It's not a conscious thing, just the brain trying to categorize information and figure out what leads to what.
Koreans really tend to have this on a much more visible level than other cultures though... It can be a good or bad thing. On the one hand, Koreans are a lot more straightforward in my experience. if they don't like you, you know. That's a lot of pressure on certain people, but it's also more transparent. I grew up in the USA, and here people will smile and act like your best friend, then talk behind your back with the same mouth. I think I know just a small handful of people here who don't have very bad trust issues. In a way, I can appreciate a society where they are more honest about this stuff. In the US, we tend to judge people a lot based on physical appearances, attire, hairstyles, demeanor, and even speech style. I hate to say it, but living down south, there are SO many people who will look at a Hispanic individual and assume they are an illegal immigrant, or look at a black person and assume they're a criminal. It's pretty disgusting. Everything is grounds for somebody to judge "what kind of person you are" in the first minute of talking to them, or even before you talk to them in the first place. It's just a far more silent judgement than Korea.
That journalist interviewee had impressive proficiency in English.
To each their own but this gives what tip to really knowing the personality of someone. Old school.... sit and talk to them.
So impressive when you speak the language so well brotha! I like all the symmetrically attractive people you pick to interview too. Koreans are such beautiful people
so basically we like judging people. Koreans feel safe only when they can categorize themselves and others within specific boundaries. Before the MBTI test, we believed that personality types could be determined by blood type.
how dumb we are 😭
That's interesting. Can you expound on that more? (Genuinely interested)
You can be judged by race only in the West.
@@mc1069 bro..
@@mc1069 cry me a river. They dont need except blacks and browns.
@@user-cnksi223 I get the point they are trying to make... it's not just as if Koreans are the only ones "obsessed" with categorizing people... perhaps they have less ways to categorize due to a more homogenous population, so they seem to outwardly obsess more over things people from different areas of the world find more trivial. here in the US there are plenty of people who "obsess" over categorizing people over many other things... race is one lol. or from what state they are in... or what subculture/clique you are in, blah blah. it's just a human thing to categorize I suppose. I still remember after returning from Korea to the US and it's like every god damn form asks you what ethnicity you are even when it really doesn't matter at all... I was like "ummmm... okay US? why does this matter?" LOL
00:07 🔍 MBTI is a personality test that is very popular in Korea.
00:18 📊 Koreans use MBTI to understand others before meeting them.
00:55 🎨 Different MBTI types describe various personality traits, like being introverted or imaginative.
02:06 🩸 Before MBTI, Koreans used blood types to categorize personalities.
02:25 🗂 Koreans enjoy categorizing people to simplify understanding others.
03:04 🤔 MBTI doesn’t perfectly portray someone's personality but provides a broad understanding.
04:04 🧑🤝🧑 Younger Koreans rely more on MBTI, while older generations do not.
06:08 🏷 MBTI is seen as a trend similar to how blood types were viewed in the past.
08:09 ⏱ MBTI helps Koreans quickly understand new people without investing much time.
08:34 🏢 Some Koreans think MBTI should not be a job recruiting requirement.
09:12 📚 Cultural preference for collectivism in Korea supports MBTI’s popularity.
11:12 ❤ MBTI can help understand compatibility in romantic relationships.
12:18 💼 While not common, some companies are beginning to ask about MBTI during job interviews.
The journalist gave me the impression she was having more fun during this interview than she will have had during her blind date lol. She seemed a bit skeptical about the character of her date because of their Myers Briggs - before even spending time with them.
It must have spread because it felt plausible. In fact, it was used as a tool for understanding rather than evaluating oneself and others.
It was popular just for fun, but it could also be said to be an attempt to solve the various difficulties experienced in relationships between people from the perspective of personality.
Sometimes it can be an opportunity to try to understand others better, and sometimes it can be a starting point for positive change while reflecting on oneself.
If you can change yourself, you are mentally healthy. The problem is that such personality analyzes reinforce mental fixations.
I took the MBTI test in a company training session and I actually think it is quite helpful when it comes to how to communicate with co-workers more effectively.
Love your content and your style!🎉
I prefer people using this to prejudge people vs using astrology or blood types. But regardless you wont really know if you will like someone unless you give them a chance and meet them so unless there is a certain personality that you just dislike itll just give you something to talk about or give you insight on how a person processes information
Ugh..get your natal chart done. This is a HUGE problem is that people think astrology is ONLY sun signs.
Ive taken it so many times over the years, and I get different versions almost every time. Sometimes I'm more introverted, or more extroverted. I do think the 2nd segment S or N is probably the only one that doesn't change much with time
That’s because just like any of those “which cartoon character are you” tests, you will answer certain questions differently based in your current mood. There’s no psychology behind it at all.
You might be an ambivert or omnivert. If the E and the I fluctuate. Sounds like the other parts are consistent. I'm in the same situation, mine fluctuates. While others swear by this test because it describes them perfectly, I found other tests that better described my personality, values and interests.
@@Totaly14 "psychology" is purely empirical. If Person a checks box 3 and 4, they have ptsd. Simply the amount of questions makes the diagnosis more accurate. There cant be anymore psychology behind it, since it is already practiced psychology. Enough yapping, I'm just saying that this thing is nothing more than an online therapist
Well when i took it i got an answer did research found others that were close to it (ones where people of that type could be). Did more research on the specific ones and figured out which one i really was with thought processes. Also how one goes about life with that mbti type is a huge indicator of which one it is. Because as we develop as an INTP i have developed my introverted thinking very young age, and extraverted intuition and introverted sensing took longer but with time even my extraverted feeling has gotten stronger and as such i could easily show up as more of a feeling type now.
@@Totaly14 lol not even close but funny.
Oh I think it's time to subscribe, like Nathan said you are so cool, I like the way you speak in korean and english in your interviews.👍
Thank you! 😃
Damn, and here I am… in the Wild Wild West, trying to get to know people the old fashioned way, ya know, spending time and having a conversation with someone.
With MBTI, it’s basically judging a book by its cover. Blood type 🚫 MBTI 🚫… get to know a person ✅
MBTI grew so much during the time of Pandemic in Korea.... It became more of a trend
Great content as always. Maybe do a content on 사주, 점집?
흠 그냥 빠르게 개략적으로 서로의 성향이나 성격에 대해 알 수 있고 그에 따라 서로 배려 할 수 있어서 mbti에 대해서 물어보는 것 같습니다. 또한 지금 한국에서 mbti는 하나의 밈처럼 여겨지기 때문에 첫 만남에 가벼운 아이스브레이킹 용도로 이용하기에도 적합합니다!
This makes sense. I have a Korean friend shepherd asked for my 16 personality and i didn’t know it from the top of my head so I asked her to send me a link. I finished it and told her my personality and she was shocked lol. It showed sum like im both extroverted and introverted. She’s an introvert
loving this,,.. LIKES FROM AFRICA guys.....
A human mind is the most complex thing we have ever seen 👀✨
I just think that knowing your mbti before seeing you is just a way of having more control over the situation and your short-term future when it comes to relationships. Low tolerance to uncertainty or maybe fear of being lied to.
I suppose the test makes more sense for people who are the same a lot of the time, but I never saw the point of the test cuz usually I change it up depending on many variables day to day. If people ask I just say WLDCRD.
None of them are using it correctly. No talk of functions, saviors, demons.
ENFP, INFP are COMPLETELY different.

MBTI는 그냥 요즘 밈이된 느낌. 집에서 휴식하면서 에너지 얻다=I, 외부활동으로 에너지얻다=E인거같고.. 소심하다고 무조건 I는 아닌듯. 외향적이고 대담해보이는 사람도 I인 경우 많아요.
I like the personality test but totally agree with the guy that had dread locks. It changes on the person yearly in my opinion. I took the test maybe 5yrs ago and i got a different one this yr after seeing how famous it was for korea so i retested. So idk, its kinda iffy but still good in a way to see what people might be like
Its dont change, learn about cognitive function
@@Abvgdejziklmnoprsti have, and it still changes for me. But i'm someone who changes a lot. It's prolly the autism idk.
It doesn’t change yearly, MBTI is built on cognitive functions, not the letter-typings
I like how MBTI became popular in Korea because I like guessing people's MBTIs.
Blood/personality 😮 yeah.......I can see that, on some levels, it makes sense 🤔
I've taken the test several times now over the years and I always get typed the same. But I've read about my type and I think it reflects me to some extent. Because no two people are the exact same even if they share an MBTI.
Same here. It's relatable up to some point, but not all of it. It's a self-assesment afterall, sometimes who we think we are, isn't the real us, so our answer will never be accurate. That's what I think. It's more of perception on how we think about ourselves, not exactly our true personality.
question: not related to this (although this cultural attitude is very interesting). watched your short about "pretty privilege" there-wondering: is there a counter attitude like "(not pretty) oppression"? in the states it seems more like a lack of privilege and not direct oppression. just curious… thanks for sharing!
It’s crazy I just learned about MBTI this month 😭
Dumb, Judging someone based on a test that is outdated, it doesnt even measure Neuroticism in the personality
No shit sherlock holmes. They do it for fun
@@profile1565no they don’t. They take it very seriously, as do most people even outside of Korea who are obsessed with the test as well as astrology. All that nonsense is very real to them.
@@Totaly14Real? Nah I'm Korean in my 20s, but no one thinks it's real😂 It's just for fun and ice braking like zodiac signs.
@@profile1565 no some take it seriously, like different blood types.
@@mjmj734 zodiac signs are not ice breakers here in the west. women bring it up and men ignore it.
It is so strange that someone takes an inventory,, answering 165 questions about themselves, only to be amazed that the final result reflects them to some degree. I can give you a good description of your personality if I could ask you 165 questions first.
pliz make content how korean live day to day life
I think MBTI is interesting and shows that you care about people around you and how they think and do stuff the way they do. I personally would have liked some sort of lessons in school to learn how different people are. But people here don't care and if you're quiet you are the shy weirdo.
I went from istp to intp now intj. In the space of 2 years.
Kim Bo-kyoung! One of Arirang TV's finest!
I’m glad that enfp woman mentioned how she thinks she’s actually an infp because I was the same way and apparently it’s common for enfp ppl to feel this way😭
Believe it or not we actually do this a lot in America, people are very easily divided into their subculture such as white, black, latino etc. and their political affiliation. I don't think this phenomenon is unique to Korea, just their way of implementing the sorting of people into different classifications.
I am INFP. I am not shy but insecure and don’t like a lot of attention because it comes with responsibilities. 😭😂
I took the test and forgot my type. Took it a year later and got same results. That’s when I knew if was effective and true.
Hey, the woman in the thumbnail appeared on Asian boss
So just lie about your MBTI then? 😂
Why lol you don't know what the other person is looking for so what's the point
Why would you lie about your MBTI its nothing to be shame about when it can help you knowing about a person better .
MBTI는 본인의 심리, 행동을 기반으로 정해지는 거라서 연기자나 사기꾼이 아닌 이상 속이는 건 불가능하다고 생각돼요. 저는 ISFP인데, 정반대인 ENTJ나 ESTP 처럼 굴라고 해도 불가능할 것 같 거든요. MBTI는 주로 사적인 자리에서 각자의 성향을 파악하고 이해하는데에 사용돼서 속이는 건 오히려 본인 손해아닌가 싶은데... 공적인 자리에선 물론 안 쓰고요.
@@sadisticwinter8354 there are for sure prefered ones just like zodiac signs this "matches" with this etc then you just have to ask first over message preferably so you have time to pull cheat sheet lol :D after good first impression for how long do you think that other person will think about if you are lying or not? hardest part is to get conversation started then its ez... IMO its all nonsense god knows how many too trustworthy people got cheated like that or scammed (good thing its not popular in europe)
Wait untuk they heard about DiSC & OCEAN personality test 😆😆
Korea is the only place where i've seen people know their results off the top of their head. You can definitely tailor your results to what you're feeling like in my opinion.
Most people don’t realize that everyone possesses characteristics of every type. Everyone has the tendency to be more extroverted under specific circumstances, and more introverted in other circumstances; more N sometimes and more S other times.
(N means iNtuitive, btw; has nothing to do with “living in your imagination,” as one of the women said. I mean, ffs, if you’re going to talk about something, at least make sure your info is accurate!)
Instead of saying, “I am INFJ,” it would be more accurate to say, “My primary personality traits align with INFJ; my secondary characteristics align with INTJ,” etc. One could also say, for example, “I am more of an ENFP when I am with close friends, and more INTJ when I’m with acquaintances or colleagues.”
We all put on a different personality at different times depending on the situation, depending on our mental health, etc. The only people who are 100% the same and unchanged their entire lives are psychopaths.
At any rate, this video only shows how widely misrepresented and misinterpreted the Myers-Briggs Type Indicators are; and how widely misinformed people are to think that this is a sound method for evaluating the potential for social connections.
I think the first time I did mbti test (known as Test of 16 personality at that time) it was 5 or 6 years ago , probably before it became popular in Korea 👀 but after all this time I finally understood what the letters of my INTP personality means 🫶🏻 thank you 😂🫧
The key questions : How reliable is the MBTI test ? When you ask a person what is your MBTI, can you rely on this person to tell the truth ?
And most of them are mistyped.
MBTI is broad overgeneralizations.
But it's still much more accurate than bloodtype personalities which is just superstition.
ENFJ here!
if i want to go out south korean what i need to know there place culture
So if I lie about my MBTI i’ll be treated like a king in Korea?
I’m an INTP-A Wich means I don’t have any social skills and I’m ok with that
I think people have just replaced the astrology signs or blood type with MBTI
As a Korean myself, I think this obsession with MBTI is fucking moronic.
mbti is modern day astrology
Introvert don't say that he is Introvert. 😅
What's the difference we use zodiac signs,how often does a man hear:help you're a scorpio😂😂.Everyone can sort out zodiac sign+blood type+Mbti=marriage candidate😊
Sir, could you please help me to go to korea? Going to Korea is my dream, I'm from Bangladesh, i have quite money problem, this isn't main problem i guess, i don't know what to do
I'm pretty rare.... INFJ. Anyone else?
MBTI ㄹㅇ 진짜 짜증나는게. 그 4글자 하나로 사람을 정의하려고 함. 왤캐 한국은 일반화 하길 좋아하는거지? 진짜 ㅎㅇ 스러움
그러게요. 어떤 집단으로 나누기를 엄청 좋아하죠.
한국의 사회문화 하나하나가 모여서 자살률 18년동안 1위, 출산률 압도적 세계꼴찌, 이민률1위라는 위대한 국가를 만들어낸거죠. 그외에도 통계에 잡히는 안좋은 항목은 거의 모든영역에서 한국이 최상위권이더라고요. 사실 이런 나라는 없어지는게 맞다고 생각합니다
1:08 this girl misuderstand being shy and introverted. Introversion and extroversion is more like where you take most energy from, so you can be shy and extroverted and shy and introverted . Also many people can be actually ambivert
hiring people because of their MBTI isn't this discriminatory? 😅 I think the MBTI is a interesting test to take but I don't see any scientific background there, it's rather like mentioned in this video zodiac signs or blood type 😂
Not when discrimination laws don't exist in South Korea
Koreans do some bizarre wacko things like blood types and MBTI. So you’re going to decide on a person’s compatibility based on MBTI vs actually getting to know the person first hand? lol
Speaking of easy categorization in neat little boxes and Koreans blindly following trends as it relates to Kpop...
I wouldn't be surprised if part of vocally talented Purple Kiss lack of success has at least something to do with their constantly changing musical style every comeback making them hard to categorize despite having a definite sound that transcends genres (plus RBW is rubbish at promoting their groups, plus one of their talented vocalists gets criticized for not falling into the accepted measurements of some stupid idealized body type for idols).
If Tsuki didn't have a GGMGY fancam go viral and subsequently charm people with numerous variety show appearances, the equally musically diverse Billlie probably would be far more obscure also, not that they've had any real success on Korean charts, which aside from standard ballads by soloists are dominated at the top largely by the same 6 girl groups from 4th gen that are too big to fail thanks to big 3 status or inclusion of former IZ*ONE members (plus 여자 아이들), regardless of whether a particular new song is any good or not. An essentially copy paste song of one of those groups' style led to a 5th gen big 3 gg having a massive hit on their debut beyond all reason sweeping up music show trophies despite having issues in the vocal department (it might have helped if YG songwriters could produce a banger title trk without Teddy, BM have crazy talent but their best song was an English b-side written by Charlie Puth -- they only made top 10 after a few weeks with Sheesh). Imagine my surprise when 5th gen award show stages live vocals queens KIOF Midas Touch made the top 25 from a small company, though it should've been bigger...like a lot of great songs the past couple years.
Let me know when FROMIS_9 gets the level of privilege on charts as others under HYBE despite always releasing summer bops regardless of release month or something as basic as a regular release schedule (HYBE: If we can't have a BLACKPINK type group we can at least have one that mimics their infrequent release schedule for music with this girl group we often ignore). Stream FROMIS_9 album UNLOCK MY WORLD, best full album of 2023! (yes, even above Red Velvet's album, saved from weird title trk by great R&B b-sides like Underwater)
You can't know someone from a few letters. Humans are not the simple 😂

A test done based on your current mood is BRAZY! People love to give information to th cloud about themselves
MBTI is just an 'opener' of conversation. Like icebreaker.
Who would think there are only 16 personalities in this world with 8 billion people? Lol
Thought diversity within instinct-driven beings isn't really a thing

Now the West is happy with 12 zodiac signs?🤣
외국인들 댓글에 사람을 유형에 따라 구분짓는게 끔찍하다는데 태어나자마자 민증에 등록되는 우리 입장에선 저건 아무것도 아닌데 참 호들갑들이다.
This is one of the reasons why nobody is having sex there. Such things cause misconstrued assumptions. Life is so simple and an adventure.
As a Korean, this is my first time hearing information about no one having sex here lol
It's sad. One day they will figured out how lost they actually are about human relationships...
All of this doesn't make any sense especially in a country where birth rate is the lowest in the world, it's a proof that it makes them even more appart from each other.
I like you vidéo but sometimes you can chose more different age among population and less young pretty girls haha
Can you please ask Koreans about Palestine and what they think?
