MBTI is a personality test (性格测试). Many young people in China are interested in it now.
“Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person ” They take the test to find out the answer.
Many people find the test helpful. It groups people into 16 kinds. So they can make decisions
(做决定) more quickly. “I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.” “I’m
an ‘I’ person. I’d like to stay home alone and work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.”
They may think like this.
But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different
answers. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I
also enjoy playing with my friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’ ”
Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white, scientists say. You may
be an ‘I’ person now but become an ‘E’ when you get older. Or, you can be both an ‘I’ and an ‘E’.
Don’t label (贴标签) yourself!
61. MBTI is a test that is popular with many young people in China now.

Many countries recycle (回收) the Christmas trees. For example, Germans take off the lights
