BDB Gathering: What is your MBTI?
안녕하세요. I'm Hoorimi from BDB Korean.
Are you familiar with MBTI? Since you're studying Korean, you might know what MBTI is.
MBTI is the most famous personality test in Korea.
The topic of this BDB Gathering was personality, so we discussed our MBTI types.
It was fun and valuable time for getting to know each other.
Certainly, MBTI cannot fully explain our personalities, but it can help us understand each other better, especially when we face struggles due to differences in personality.
We don't need to confine people to a specific framework, we can simply try to understand our differences.
Session 1. Intro question
