How to Get SBTI JOKE-R (The Clown) on the Test
Want to land the The Clown type on your SBTI result? Here's exactly which traits to lean into, what kinds of answers produce JOKE-R, and what to avoid. Works for anyone trying to get JOKE-R deliberately — or avoid it.
The Short Answer
You scored high on questions indicating a tendency to use humor as a coping mechanism, prioritize making others laugh, and downplay your own feelings. You likely selected answers that suggest you're observant, quick-witted, and enjoy entertaining others, but also struggle with vulnerability.
Step 1: Emphasize these core traits
The SBTI test maps your answers across 15 dimensions. To get JOKE-R, your responses should consistently signal:
- 1Humorous
- 2Perceptive
- 3Resilient
- 4Self-deprecating
- 5Empathetic
- 6Observant
Step 2: Answer patterns to aim for
✓ You're always the first to make a joke about a bad situation.
✓ You can make friends with anyone, even the awkward ones.
✓ People are surprised when you show a serious side.
✓ You have a folder full of reaction GIFs for every occasion.
✓ You secretly hate being the center of attention but are also good at it.
✓ You often feel like you have to be 'on' to keep people entertained.
Step 3: What to avoid
If you keep ending up on BOSS / MUM instead of JOKE-R, your answers are tilting toward those archetypes. Specifically avoid:
- ✗ Over-emphasizing avoiding vulnerability
- ✗ Over-emphasizing using humor as a shield
- ✗ Over-emphasizing difficulty expressing emotions directly
- ✗ Over-emphasizing people-pleasing tendencies
- ✗ Over-emphasizing internalizing stress
- ✗ Over-emphasizing fear of being taken seriously

Just remember: the most interesting result is usually the one you get when you answer honestly first time.
