MBTI and 'Joy of Life': Insights and Implications

Analysis of MBTI types in the drama Joy of Life and the impact of MBTI on mental health.

Title: A Review of MBTI Types of 'Joy of Life' Protagonists

Recently, the highly popular Chinese drama 'Joy of Life 2' has concluded. After keeping the audience in suspense for five years, it took the lead as soon as it premiered. At the end of the series, the characters in 'Joy of Life 2' underwent an MBTI test. Fan Xian was officially stamped as ENFJ, but many people disagree and tend to think he is an ENTP instead.

The MBTI test itself isn't entirely scientific. It is greatly influenced by emotions, environment, and time, and the results are not unique. However, a study published by Nanjing University in 'Frontiers in Psychology' shows that for teenagers, believing in the MBTI test has a scientific benefit - reducing anxiety and depression, expanding self-awareness, and enhancing happiness. Through questionnaires and analysis, the researchers found that the use of MBTI has a positive impact on the mental health of Chinese teenagers, and this impact is achieved through the 'Barnum effect' and 'self-identity'. The test results of MBTI are somewhat vague and general, which triggers the Barnum effect and promotes the self-identification of teenagers from the results.

The researchers believe that when facing psychological problems, teenagers rarely seek professional help but actively seek some self-help services. A study in the Netherlands found that different subtypes of anxiety disorders can lead to different degrees of shortened lifespan. Social phobia patients age prematurely by 3.5 to 5 years compared to normal people, but some aging cells can be reversed after anxiety is relieved.

So, whether it's tarot, astrology, or burning incense in the Yonghe Temple, they may all effectively trigger the Barnum effect. In various 'rituals', we can obtain languages and labels that can more accurately explain ourselves. Start giving yourself a positive psychological hint today!
