A parody personality test named 'SBTI' (Silly Big Type Indicator) gained viral popularity in China after a video introducing it on Bilibili attracted over 2 million views within a day, temporarily crashing the link during May 1 or 2, 2026 [1].
Created by a Bilibili user known as 'Qrourchuanr,' the test mimics the structure of the popular MBTI personality framework but uses 31 absurd and humorous questions that bear no relation to traditional psychological tests [1]. Instead of serious types, the test categorizes users into comedic personalities like 'Dead' and 'Shit,' each with exaggerated and humorous traits [1].
The test provides 15 scores measuring concepts such as self-esteem, decision-making style, and attachment security. It does not require users to register to participate, reinforcing its role as light entertainment rather than a scientific assessment [1]. The creator emphasized that the test is intended purely for amusement and is not grounded in psychology or any scientific methodology [1].
The sudden surge in interest highlights a growing appetite among Chinese internet users for playful and satirical content that riffs on familiar psychological concepts. The test's viral success on May 1 and 2 brought widespread attention within 24 hours, underscoring its rapid spread through social media channels [1].
The immediate next step is monitoring how the creator and platform manage the test’s traffic and whether similar parody personality tools will emerge in response.
