The Influence of MBTI on Contemporary Youth—Analysis Based on Instrumental Angle

自MBTI火爆全网以来，MBTI就因其流行性和实用性以较高的频率出现在当代青年的各种社交场景中。MBTI在社交中是当代青年塑造自我形象的工具、快速认识彼此的工具、筛选交往对象的工具、以及社交情感升温的工具，这些工具性效用为当代青年开展社交活动提供了便利。然而，在MBTI社交热潮的狂欢中，当代青年对MBTI社交工具的使用整体上是较为盲目的，不了解MBTI作为社交工具在固化形象认知、限制交往深度和抑制交往可能等方面的局限性。因此，需要引导当代青年把握好MBTI作为社交工具的尺度，帮助当代青年清晰认知MBTI作为社交工具的辅助地位、全面了解其效用和局限、合理控制其使用的程度，以便在社交中更加有效地、合理地运用MBTI。Since MBTI became popular all over the Internet, MBTI has appeared in various social scenes of contemporary youth with high frequency because of its popularity and practicality. In social interaction, MBTI is a tool for contemporary youth to shape their self-image, get to know each other quickly, screen communication partners, and warm up social emotions. These instrumental effects provide convenience for contemporary youth to carry out social activities. However, in the carnival of MBTI’s social upsurge, the contemporary youth are relatively blind to the use of MBTI social tools on the whole, and do not understand the limitations of MBTI as a social tool in terms of solidifying image cognition, limiting the depth of communication and restraining the possibility of communication. Therefore, it is necessary to guide contemporary youth to grasp the scale of MBTI social tools, help contemporary youth to clearly understand the auxiliary position of MBTI social tool, fully understand its utility and limitations, and reasonably control the degree of its use, so as to use MBTI more effectively and reasonably in social interaction.
