I love this! Exactly right for my level. The subtitle and translation is very helpful too! Thank you!

[@syrah5131]

I'm very into these types of things. However, where I'm from not many people know about it so when you talk about it everyone will sort of look at you like "What are you talking about" It's really cool that in Korea it's so trendy! It sounds really fun being able to discuss that!

한국말을 듣기를 연습할 때는 이런 영상이 아주 도움이 돼요. 만드셔서 감사합니다!

[@sebbstaudt5894]

Thanks for the video! This is great practice! Could you also add the subtitles to the built-in youtube subtitles? That would be really nice!

[@Marinaaccoount]

Thank you for this content, very useful! :) Can I ask you guys what level could I be at if I understood almost everything in this video?

[@SpaceCase1701]

This was super interesting. I'd noticed in a lot of the Korean content I've watched that MBTI was coming up a lot (and in older videos, people mentioned the blood type personality thing too!) so it was clearly a popular thing in Korea, I didn't realise how popular though. I had heard of it before, I remember doing a test as part of a work team training day years ago (I think I came out as either INFP or ISFP?) but I wouldn't say it's at all popular in the UK. If anything, the thing some people still put weight on is the western zodiac, but even then the people super deep into it are much fewer. Personally I didn't like putting that much weight into personality tests just because they always made it seem so definitive... "You *are* this and this means you are all these things etc etc", like it was an unchanging fact about you and came with all this baggage about what it said about you. But I've also noticed a lot of Koreans talking about MBTI also talk about how theirs have changed over time, I remember someone saying they'd changed from I to E. And I like that approach more, because people do change and the idea that it can change and it's not some set in stone fact about you is way less pressure. And then use it as a guide or some possible advice for how you might navigate the world around you and improve yourself. As long as it doesn't dominate your life and dictate your every action or interaction with others (like the stereotyping stuff you mentioned!) Very interesting to think about though!

i like this topic, thank you . in my country we don't have MBTI this a new for me.

It would be interesting to see what is the distribution of MBTI across Korea.

[@choerrvs]

재미있는 주제로 한 비디오가 올라셔서 감사합니다 😊 폴란드에서는 MBTI보다 별자리가 유명하는 것 같아요. 우리 부모님들의 시대 같은 경우에는 사람들이 잡지에서 별점을 읽어서 믿는데 젊은 사람들이 별자리에 대해 너무 많이 공부하고 그 지식을 생활속에서 사용해요. MBTI가 아는 친구도 많지만 별자리보다 아직도 유명하지는 않다고 생각해요 🤔.

mbti에 대해 알 수 있고 듣기 연습이 됐습니다~! 감사합니다 ! by 일본인 학생

[@dreamannemusic]

I think in England, small talk is just asking about someone's job or their family or something like that. 영국에서는 스몰 톡이란 누군가의 직업 또는 가족에 관해 묻는 것뿐이라고 생각합니다.

[@user-bn3cn1xb4b]

English are usually portrayed well mannered, compared to other western people. I wonder that is really true.

[@GoodbyeBlue88]

That was great! MBTI is also very popular in China these days. Perhaps you could do a video talking about bouldering (indoor rock climbing) and why it’s so popular among young people?😊🧗

[@Ikbalrizkya]

I usually learn TTMIK lessons from your soundcloud account and it helps me a lot, but now I cant find the files anymore :( why you deleted the files? 😢

Also Yeji, how do we find your own personal channel on KZbin 😅

Is the transcript for this video available on the site?

한국인이랑 대화하면서 MBTI 얘기가 많이 나오는거 같길래 저도 관심이 생겼어요ㅎㅎ MBTI 뭐냐면 전 INFP예요! INFP 꽤 많은거 같더라구요.

[@lailafloyd9551]

It was really popular from grades ~7-12 but most people didn’t remember their results and had to look them up if you asked. It’s kind of Niche. You use the results like a pick(yup)-line 😅💼; it is a good entry way into a new friendship (친구 maybe…👩🏽‍🔬). You’re literally Ino (of Naruto) using “the mindtransfer jutsu”😅. BUT, you always have to maintain an air of skepticism. STEAM is well funded (and real). Using MBTI in 2024 (I’m 23) is like the song “La javanaise” covered by L.E.J. ….MBTI could mean 1 of 2 things…🎃. I’m from Atlanta, GA. ❤️ note: yup is yuppie (your yuck or yum 😂) 9:20 . Here People typically refer to the way people look (dress or social position) to start small talk. The symbols you wear are never black and white so asking how someone feels about the day’s weather or season provides a metaphor to use as a good entry point into small talk (related to their appearance). Vouge! 🤠 15:30 .

[@-whackd]

yeah MB is popular within companies because they are a private company that made up a test and marketed it to companies. The only portion that slightly resembles any psychological science is the first metric, extroversion/introversion. Otherwise it is not founded on psychology.

[@tatjana7008]

so you think Carl Jung works are not psychology? Why so?

[@lukake3794]

Oh hello mr psychology

[@jl5973]

@@tatjana7008 but it isn't - it's more pseudoscience based off 'interpreting' Carl Jung. Don't get me wrong, it's fun and might be close to what your 'personality' is at a point in time, but MBTI is not scientific

[@bluebirdeyes]

많은 사람들은 MBTI 검사 인터넷으로 하는데 저는 고등학교 때 어떤 수업에서 진짜 MBTI 검사를 받았봤어요. 제가 INFP예요. 뭐...너무 믿고 사람을 판단하면 좋은 게 아니지만 스몰톡용으로 재미있잖아요. 혈액형이나 별자리같은 것보다 과학적이고요. 대상자가 직접 테스트를 하니까요. 완전히 과학적이지 않아도 그런 느낌이 있잖아요. 그래서 왜 유행하는지 알 것 같아요. 미국에서 사람들이 MBTI 뭔지 알지만 한국처럼 큰 관심이 없고 그냥 많은 성격 검사 중에 인기 제일 많은 검사예요.

인도네시아에서는 "결혼했어?" 처음 만날때 부터 물어볼수 있어요, 특히 아줌마들께서 20대 분들에게 물어본 질문이에요, 그 다음 질문은 "아이가 있어? 몇 명이야?". 근데 아직 결혼 안 했으면은 또 다른 질문은 "왜 안 했어? 언제 결혼 할거야?" 그런 질문을 많이 물어봐요. 20대인데, 많이 불편하고 생각합니다.

[@tulk_]

Oddly, no-one talks about where they take the test. I've read that only the "original" MBTI test is the real deal, not the ones that are offered for free. It is said you might come to a different result. And the original test costs around $60. So does everyone pay that money to get their MBTI? :)

[@talktomeinkorean]

Haha, yeah, as you pointed out most people seem to take the free test 😂

[@mcpremier3544]

Some companies will sponsor the test for you if it's part of their training/orientation. I was fortunate enough to take the real one on the actual website. I don't think the free ones are too far off though (depending on which one)

[@lex6819]

MBTI is only as reliable as the attention given to the functions.

[@user-xh2el7kw5s]

이란에서 한국 처럼 mbti가 너무 유명하지 않아요 그런데 20대에 있는 사람들이 항상 mbti으로 자기 소개를 한거예요 아니면 mbti에 대해서 아는게 없어도 그렇게 보지 않기 위해 mbti를 말 할 때가 있어요.

[@b.a.p.4718]

제 생각에는 MBTI가 한국에서 사라질 것 같아요. 왜냐하면 과학적으로 바탕한 테스트가 전혀 아니죠. 나중에 사람들이 아마 MBTI 지루할 거나 다른 테스트가 나올 거예요. 역사는 반복하네요. RIP 혈액형 ㅋㅋㅋ

[@talktomeinkorean]

ㅎㅎ그럴 수도 있겠네요!

[@mylenainacio273]

MBTI is not scientific, it's a fact. However, for more than 5 years, it has been reliable to me to improve myself and my relationships with other people. It's not popular in my country and a lot of people are not even willing to take a test. I can only use it to my benefit because I understand mbti and take the time to get to know people. Many people actually get mistyped, so I don't think is either fun or that useful to people to introduce their types like that. I like that it's a popular topic in Korea, on the other hand, I disliked how it actually is a small talk. I don't see people talking about cognitive functions ever. Can somebody try to guest my mbti by my comment? 🤭

Koreans don't do small talking with people they don't know though

Honestly, I've never heard Koreans talk about anything other than small talk even with each other. It makes me wonder on the depth of Koreans in general as a society. No offense 😅

[@tatjana7008]

because its ambivert + high context culture country. Less talking more doing and opening up only to close people. I get more than small talk, but its because I'm Korean and they feel more comfortable with me

[@tatjana7008]

Its not popular in Germany, because people are not interested in intrapersonal intelligence here. Although its might be superficial in Korea, its huge plus that people are interested in learning about themselfes, what is not practiced here. Many issues arise from this and I hope intrapersonal intelligence will be equalised here to interpersonal one (EQ) as soon as possible

[@IzyaschnyPopakrut]

I was pretty sure that Yeji is actually ENTJ. But nevertheless MBTI, socionics and other personality type things are just non-scientific trash. Which of course makes them only more popular 😂
