Korea’s viral 4 question MBTI test
I learnt this from my Korean friends last year. In Korea, MBTI isn't just a personality test, it's a cultural phenomenon. Instead of taking the full test (93 questions in the North American version, 88 in the European version), Koreans boiled it down to 4 simple scenarios, one for each MBTI dimension.
Answer each one, combine your letters, and you've got your type in 30 seconds.
1. E or I — Energy
"I've been at work from Monday to Friday this week, so I should…"
| Response | Type |
|---|---|
| Since I've been OUT at work all week, I should stay in for the weekend 🏠 | I (Introvert) |
| Since I've been at work all week, I should go out and spend time outside during the weekend 🎉 | E (Extravert) |
Introverts recharge by being alone. Extraverts recharge by being around people.
2. S or N — Perception
"Imagine you're enjoying a drink at a bar on a Friday night. A horse walks in. What did the horse say to the bartender?"
| Response | Type |
|---|---|
| "…Why would a horse enter a bar?" 😐 | S (Sensing) |
| "It probably asked for a drink! Or maybe directions! Or made some weird horse noises?" 🐴 | N (Intuitive) |
Sensors question the premise — "that doesn't make sense." Intuitives just roll with it and start imagining possibilities.
3. T or F — Decision-making
"Your friend says, “I’m feeling so down these days, so I got some bread for myself…"
| Response | Type |
|---|---|
| "What kind of bread did you buy?" 🍞 or "Why would buying bread help?" | T (Thinking) |
| "Oh no, are you okay? What happened? 🥺" | F (Feeling) |
The T's thought process, explained:
Output: "무슨 빵 샀는데?" (What bread did you buy?)
Thinkers process the logic first. Feelers process the emotion first.
4. J or P — Lifestyle
"You're starting a new project at work or school. Your first course of action is…"
| Response | Type |
|---|---|
| Come up with a detailed plan of steps to take as you progress 📋 | J (Judging) |
| Start researching the first thing that comes to mind 🏃 | P (Perceiving) |
Judgers plan the route before driving. Perceivers start driving and figure it out along the way.
Now combine your 4 letters!
For example: I + N + F + J = INFJ
