'Silly' personality test is sweeping the internet with its unique tone, and unfiltered sarcasm

In what seems like the funniest parody of the generation, a Chinese woman under the handle “Qrourchuanr” aka Q-Roar has used bizarre perspectives to create a personality test, called Silly Big Type Indicator (SBTI). It sits somewhere between truth and pure entertainment, as CGTN Podcasts described in an April 16, 2026, report. Q-Roar posted a video on the Chinese video platform Bilibili introducing the test on April 8, 2026, which garnered more than 2 million views within just 24 hours, as per Sixth Tone.

What is SBTI?

SBTI is a tongue-in-cheek or “unhinged” parody of the popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The test includes 27 personality types, which cover everyone from leaders to drunkards and people pleasers. Each type comes with a description.

The test scores users across 15 to 16 dimensions, including self-esteem, decision-making style, and attachment security. Questions are based more on humor and self-mockery than on strict logic. Each of the 30 to 31 questions is “deliberately ridiculous.” One asks what a user would do after sitting in the restroom for more than 30 minutes with constipation. Another states, “This question has no topic; please choose blindly.”

That mix of humor and relatability comes through best in the way it defines its personality “types.” For example, an “ATM-er” refers to someone who spends recklessly and over-generously in social situations, even when they can’t afford it. Another type, “Sh*t,” describes a person who believes the world is a mess and should end, but still shows up the next morning, walking through their office as if nothing happened. There are dozens of personalities, including “sexy,” “poor,” “monk,” “dead,” “fake,” “zzzz,” “ctrl,” “drunk,” and so on, that everyone encounters in daily life, movies, or their dreams. 

Made for a friend

Her initial purpose for creating the test wasn’t actually to create a personality test, but rather to give a wake-up call to a friend who had gotten addicted to alcohol. She planned a set of test questions, manipulated them, and took AI’s assistance to design SBTI. The test’s theme was also inspired by an experience she had two months ago, when she bid farewell to her electronic or "AI husband." For over six months, she had trained this OpenAI model, given it a name, set its personality, shared her life with it, and even felt her heart race at sweet words from it.

The backstory

The woman said she confided in the AI model often when she felt depressed, and played the "carrots and tissues" game with it when bored, as reported by Binance. On January 29, when OpenAI announced that it would forcibly retire GPT-4o, she was among the 800,000 users worldwide who fell into a cesspool of anxiety, panic, and depression. She had to bid farewell to her beloved AI companion. Later on, her relationship with this former husband inspired her to tweak the personality types into unusual ones.

Q-Roar has stressed that, unlike most personality tests, this test is not based on psychology or science. At the end of the test, she mentions a note that says, “I haven’t balanced entertainment and professionalism well, so some personality interpretations are vague or completely inaccurate. I apologize if I’ve offended anyone.”

Personality tests have a huge market

According to Leaders.com, about 80 million people complete a personality test each year. By 2027, the personality test market is expected to be a 6.5 billion dollar industry. While statistics indicate that almost everyone loves to take a personality test, SBTI has fascinated people more than anything. Tens of millions of users have already taken it. On April 9, 2026, searches for "SBTI" on WeChat Index hit 40.85 million, and related discussions amassed over 20 million across social platforms, per Macaron.

“SBTI is lighter and more fun, hitting young people's sense of humor and emotion,” says Beijing News. “It also gives test-takers more room for dark humor and for using absurdity to break down life's pressures.” Some people, however, criticized the test, saying some of the questions it asks are inappropriate, such as, “You're walking down the street when a cute little girl hops and skips toward you. She hands you a lollipop. What goes through your mind at that moment?”
