With the increasing popularity of MBTI on social media,MBTI has become a unique language landscape in modem society.The shaping of self-identification by MBTI is a coherent process that provides a new perspective for young people's self-identification and self construction in the context of individual identity crisis in modem society.Individuals verify test results by recalling their own experiences and comparing them with those of others,forming a definite self-identification,and striving to integrate their MBTI types into real life,consolidating and confirming themselves.However,the abuse of MBTI may once again lead to an identity crisis,where individuals may develop superficial understanding of themselves,feel lost and confused about self-identification,and their behavior may be regulated by personality types.This abuse may also cause individuals to be influenced by other people's biases towards specific personality types,further deepening the uncertainty of self-identification.Therefore,users need to maintain a cautious attitude towards the test results and explore themselves through a wider range of observations and experiences.
