The story
A thread titled ‘Online Drinking Party’ popped up on Japan’s 5ch VIP board, where anonymous posters chatted away while sharing everything from their drink and cigarette brands to MBTI test results and photos of their own fan art and figure photography. The conversation had no fixed theme, ranging freely from guessing each other’s MBTI types to a liquor brand that had reportedly come back into stock after a supply gap, to how rough everyone felt the morning after overdoing it. Opinions on MBTI itself were split, with some calling it ‘fun as a conversation topic’ while others kept their distance, comparing it to ‘blood-type fortune-telling’ or chalking it up to the Barnum effect — reflecting a broader gap in how seriously people take their results.
What people said
Maybe don't chase it with more booze (just saying)
American Spirits
Cigarettes, huh — I kind of want something tasty and veggie-based instead
Are you drinking on the ground?
What's that?
By the way, I'm this one
Someone called Yamada Momonga
By the way, on that channel INTPs get treated like weirdos
Is this me?
I'm short and skinny with no muscle, but somehow still flabby
It's fine, there's plenty of purple types here (MBTI sites color the 'Analyst' group purple)
By the way, I'm ENFP-T, the Campaigner (green)
I guess there really are a lot of purple types among VIPPERs, huh?
I hear 'Campaigner' a lot~
Lots of good people, that type
Thanks
Quit eating GODIVA chocolate or whatever!
Don't go staring at the ENFP! lol
My dear father was kind enough to buy it for me (said in exaggeratedly posh, 'ojou-sama' speech)
What kind of picture?
I joined the art club even though I'd never drawn back in college lol
I draw all sorts of things
Too cute, I'm cracking up
You're really good!
Glad to hear Drambuie's back in stock
But I'm getting to where I can't drink like I used to
If you think of it as just fortune-telling, maybe the result changes after a few drinks
Still fun though
Same as me lol
I used to get INTJ
Couldn't escape the purple types either way
Didn't realize Drambuie had gone out of stock
I remember drinking it somewhere a long time ago
Thanks!
Drawing cute characters is tough, huh
I do figure photography too
Probably just the Barnum effect (vague statements that feel personally true to everyone)
Totally get that
Honestly you can't really tell unless you actually meet someone or talk on a call
That's when you start picking up on it from their vibe
I don't think it decides everything, though
It's a fun topic to talk about, so I'm actually pretty into it
You seem like a total extrovert ("yokya")! You rascal!
I've been living my life thinking I was an introvert, though
Once I fall for someone I go all in! I just end up coming on way too strong because I like them so much!
This site's got a bunch of fun tests, wanna try this one too?
https://hitostat.com/ja/tests/extrovert-test
I always pictured 'Romance Monster' as the bubbly, peppy type
Got a pretty middling score on the extrovert scale, though
Right in the middle — an 'ambivert,' I guess (a joking in-between of the slang terms for 'extrovert' and 'introvert')
Isn't this one pretty pricey?
Cracking up at the 'baby-chan' one
Ha, the femme fatale type
Total masochist, maybe?
Ha, same as my ex
Oh, açaí
That's healthy — is it tasty?
Quit trying to get a head start on being healthy
Can't remember the title or the artist's name, though
Background and Talking Points
MBTI (the 16-type personality test) has become a well-established topic on Japanese online forums in recent years, and this thread naturally fell into a rhythm of posters showing off their results. That said, the test is ultimately just a self-reported questionnaire, not a measure with established psychological validity. The thread captured both skeptical takes — comparing it to ‘blood-type fortune-telling’ or chalking it up to the Barnum effect — and enthusiastic ones calling it ‘a fun conversation topic,’ illustrating how this kind of personality test tends to get consumed online. It’s also worth noting that ‘Online Drinking Party’ threads pop up periodically on 5ch’s VIP board as a kind of recurring tradition, where anonymous posters chat about drinks, hobbies, and their own artwork.
