Embrace Your Infinite Self: Don't Let MBTI Define You

Good morning, teachers and fellow students. This is Nancy from F5.

I bet many of us here have done this: eagerly taken an online quiz and received a result of four capital letters. "I'm an INFP!" "Wow, you're an ENTJ, a born leader!" Suddenly, MBTI became our social password—a quick way to label ourselves and others.

It feels comforting, doesn't it? It gives us a simple answer: "See, this is just who I am." An introvert might feel justified in skipping a party. A "Thinker" might avoid showing emotion, thinking, "That's just not me." It’s like we’re putting ourselves into a neat, little box with a four-letter label. It feels safe. It feels clear.

But today, I want to ask you a serious question: Are we really willing to let four letters define our vast, complex, and incredible lives?

Let's be clear. MBTI is not a life sentence. It's a tool, not a rule.

Think of it like a map. A map can describe the landscape—it can show you the forests of your intuition, the rivers of your feelings, the mountains of your ambitions. It's incredibly useful for understanding the general terrain of your personality. But a map is not the territory itself! It doesn't tell you which path to take, which mountain to climb, or which river to cross.

Use MBTI as a starting point for self-discovery, not the final verdict. Use it to understand your initial preferences, to appreciate how others might see the world differently, and to identify areas where you can grow. If the test says you're not a natural public speaker, see it not as a "no," but as a challenge to become a more well-rounded version of yourself.

Don't let a personality type tell you who you are meant to be. You are not four letters. You are a universe of thoughts, emotions, dreams, and experiences that no test can ever fully measure.

So, let's break out of the box. Let's be curious, let's be brave, and let's be defiantly, uniquely ourselves.

Thats all,Thank you.

拥抱无限的自我：别让MBTI定义你

老师们，同学们，大家早上好。我是F5的杨念熹。

相信在座很多人都做过这样的事：兴致勃勃地完成网络测试，得到四个大写字母的结果。“我是INFP！”“哇你是ENTJ，天生的领导者！”转眼间，MBTI成了我们的社交密码——快速定义自己与他人的捷径。

这种归类让人安心，不是吗？它给出简易答案：“看吧，这就是我。”内向者可以心安理得拒绝聚会，“思考型”的人可以理直气壮收起柔情，心想“这不符合我的性格”。我们仿佛把自己装进贴着四字母标签的方方正正的小盒子，安全又清晰。

但今天，我想郑重发问：我们真的愿意让四个字母，定义自己广阔、复杂而精彩的人生吗？

请明确：MBTI不是人生判决书。它是指南，不是定律。

不妨将它看作地图。地图能描绘地貌——指向直觉的森林，标注情感的河流，勾勒抱负的群山。对于解人格地貌概貌，它极具价值。但地图终究不是真实的疆土！它不会替你决定要走哪条路，要攀哪座山，要渡哪条河。

让MBTI成为自我探索的起点，而非终极定论。用它理解初始偏好，欣赏他人眼中的别样风景，发现可成长的领域。若测试显示你不擅演讲，请视其为完善自我的挑战，而非否定。

别让人格类型决定你该成为谁。你不仅仅是四个字母。你是思想、情感、梦想与经历交织的浩瀚宇宙，任何测试都无法丈量。

所以，让我们打破盒子。保持好奇，保持勇敢，桀骜不驯地，成为独一无二的自己。

我的演讲完毕，谢谢大家。

Don’t Let MBTI Limit Your Life

Good morning, everyone. Today, I’m going to talk about something that is both popular and important—MBTI personality types. Thank you for giving me the chance to speak on this topic. Let’s begin by asking: have you ever heard someone say, “I’m an INFP, so I’m shy,” or “I’m an ENTJ, so I have to lead”? Many of us know these four-letter combinations. But today, I want to discuss why we shouldn’t let MBTI limit our lives.

Let’s move on to the first point—why is MBTI so popular?

According to a recent study, over 70% of university students can name their MBTI type. Many people like it because it gives a simple label for personality. You get four letters that describe you, and it feels like you finally understand yourself. Moreover, it’s fun. There are countless quizzes, memes, and videos online that make MBTI entertaining. It makes us feel connected, as if we belong to a certain “personality family.”

Let’s move on to the second point—the danger of using MBTI as a label.

Experts believe that MBTI is not a scientifically reliable tool. According to psychologist Adam Grant, MBTI lacks strong evidence and often oversimplifies complex human behavior. The key factor to remember is that personality is not fixed. If we assume that we are limited by our type, we might avoid trying new things.

For example, suppose that you are an introvert and you believe you can’t be a good public speaker. How would that affect your opportunities in life? You might avoid speaking up in class, skip leadership roles, or even avoid job opportunities. This suggests that if we let MBTI define us too strictly, we might miss out on personal growth and new experiences.

Now, let’s talk about the third point—how can we use MBTI wisely without being limited by it?

let’s think about what would happen if we relied too much on MBTI. If we assume that personality types are fixed, we might stop trying to improve. For example, we might think, “I’m just not a creative person,” or “I’m not a leader.” But in reality, people can grow and change through experience, practice, and effort. Personality is not a life sentence—it’s a starting point.

An effective strategy might be to combine MBTI insights with real-world feedback and experiences.  MBTI should be a starting point for growth, not a wall that limits us.

Thank you for your attention. I hope this presentation has inspired you to look at MBTI in a new way.

别让MBTI限定你的人生

各位同学，早上好。今天我想谈谈既流行又重要的话题——MBTI人格测试。感谢大家给我这个机会分享见解。首先请问：你是否听过有人说"我是INFP，所以我很害羞"，或"我是ENTJ，所以我必须当领导者"？大多数人都熟悉这些四字母组合。但今天，我们要探讨为何不该让MBTI限制我们的人生。

首先来看MBTI为何如此风靡。

近期研究表明，超过70%的大学生能准确说出自己的MBTI类型。人们青睐它，是因为它提供了简明的人格标签。四个字母就能定义个性，让人产生终于读懂自己的错觉。更重要的是它充满趣味——网络上充斥着相关测试、表情包和视频，让我们在欢笑中找到归属感，仿佛加入了某个"性格家族"。

接下来要警惕的是将MBTI作为标签的危险性。

心理学家亚当·格兰特指出，MBTI缺乏科学可靠性证据，往往将复杂的人类行为过度简化。关键要明白：人格并非一成不变。如果我们认定自己受限于类型特征，就可能拒绝尝试新事物。

试想：如果你以内向为由认定自己不擅演讲，这将对人生造成多大限制？你可能回避课堂发言，拒绝领导岗位，甚至错失职业机遇。这表明当我们将MBTI奉为圭臬时，实际上是在扼杀成长空间。

那么如何善用MBTI而不被其束缚？

不妨设想过度依赖测试结果的后果。若将人格类型视为固定设定，我们就会停止自我突破。比如认定"我天生缺乏创造力"或"我没有领导天赋"，但现实是：通过实践积累与持续努力，人人都能突破初始设定。人格不应是终身标签，而是成长的起点。

明智的做法是将MBTI启示与现实反馈相结合。它应当成为我们拓展能力的指南针，而非禁锢发展的围城。

感谢各位的聆听。希望今天的分享能让大家以全新视角看待MBTI测试。
