Abstract
In recent years, with the increasing development of the Internet, more and more information is available, and a group of young people keen to discover various psychological tests on the Internet have emerged among the in-depth users. Under this craze, the personality test called MBTI came into being, dividing different personalities into sixteen personality types using eight letters. It quickly became known for its "accuracy" and "social attributes".
