SBTI Test

SBTI (Silly Big Type Indicator) is a free online personality quiz that assigns you one of 27 internet-inspired archetypes based on 31 questions. Where most personality tests aim for professional utility, SBTI leans into absurdity — producing results that are designed to be funny, recognizable, and worth sharing.

What It Does

The test works by scoring you across 15 continuous dimensions grouped into five models: emotional, social, cognitive, energy, and identity. Those scores are then matched to one of 27 types with names like CTRL (The Handler), BOSS (The Boss), DEAD (The Deadpan), SEXY (The Heartthrob), and MONK (The Monk). Each result comes with a detailed breakdown of your dimensional profile, not just a label.

The format is straightforward: 31 questions, four answer options each, and instant results at the end. Most people finish in three to five minutes.

How It Compares to MBTI

SBTI positions itself as a direct counterpoint to MBTI. The Myers-Briggs framework uses four binary dimensions to sort people into 16 types — a model that has faced criticism for oversimplifying personality into either/or categories. SBTI uses 15 continuous dimensions instead, which allows for more granular scoring and a wider spread of outcomes across 27 types.

The practical difference is that SBTI results tend to feel more specific and less generic than MBTI outputs. The tradeoff is that SBTI makes no claims to clinical validity or career applicability — it is entertainment-first, and the framing makes that clear from the start.

Who Uses It

The primary audience is internet-native users who are already fluent in personality test culture — people who have shared MBTI results in group chats, debated Enneagram types online, or used personality labels as social shorthand. SBTI fits naturally into that behavior pattern while adding a layer of self-aware humor.

It also works well for content creators and social media users looking for shareable material. The result cards are designed to function like personality memes — visually distinct, immediately readable, and easy to post without context.

MBTI fans curious about a more satirical take on the format are another natural fit, as are Gen Z and millennial users who are comfortable with the kind of absurdist self-categorization that circulates on platforms like TikTok, Reddit, and Twitter.

Workflow and Access

The test runs entirely in the browser with no app download required. It works on phones, tablets, and desktops. There is no account creation, no email gate, and no paywall at any point in the flow — you take the test, see your type and dimensional scores, and can share the result immediately.

The lack of an account also means results are not saved. If you want to keep your type on record, you would need to screenshot or bookmark the result page manually. For a test designed around casual use and social sharing, that is a reasonable tradeoff, though it does limit any long-term engagement with your scores.

The site supports 12 languages, which extends its reach well beyond English-speaking audiences.

Pricing

SBTI is completely free. There are no paid tiers, no premium result unlocks, and no features held behind a subscription. The full test, the dimensional breakdown, and the shareable result are all available without spending anything or creating an account.

Limitations Worth Noting

SBTI is not a tool for career assessment, psychological research, or clinical use. The humor-first framing is intentional, but it also means the results carry no professional weight. The 27-type system, while more granular than MBTI, does not come with a widely understood explanatory framework — so types like MALO or SHIT may land as funny without being particularly illuminating.

For users who want a personality test with practical applications, SBTI is the wrong tool. For users who want something fast, free, and genuinely entertaining to share with friends, it delivers exactly what it promises.
