## Definition

SBTI — Silly Big Type Indicator (Chinese slang expansion: 傻逼 / shabi) — is an internet-native personality quiz parodying MBTI. It scores 15 behavioural dimensions across five domains (Self, Emotion, Attitude, Action, Social), runs a Manhattan-distance match against 25 template patterns, and returns one of 27 archetypes like CTRL, DEAD, ATM-er, MALO, HHHH, or the DRUNK easter egg.

The quiz was created by Bilibili uploader @蛆肉儿串儿 and went viral April 9-11, 2026. The [launch video crossed 2M views](https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1018412) in 24 hours, the original site crashed, and WeChat Index for 'sbti' peaked at 40.85M on April 9. Dozens of English mirrors (sbti.ai, sbti.dev, [whatssbti.com](https://whatssbti.com/)) appeared within days.

## Example

Within 48 hours of the Bilibili launch, English mirrors like whatssbti.com, sbti.guru and sbti.meme were live with translated questions. Developer tooling followed: [serenakeyitan/sbti-wiki](https://github.com/serenakeyitan/sbti-wiki) documents all 27 templates, nexu-io/sbti-skill packages the quiz as an AI-agent skill, and Chinese Google AI Studio builders posted SBTI landing pages vibe-coded in one evening.

## Analogy

What Doge did to currency — SBTI is shitposting in the shape of a personality test.

## Why it's emerging now

A Bilibili joke by @蛆肉儿串儿 crossed 2M views in 24 hours and drove WeChat Index to 40.85M on April 9, 2026. English SERP is still catching up — dominated by racing mirror sites, not canonical reporting — which is exactly the EarlyTerms window. MBTI fatigue in China made the inverted, shitposty frame land.
