Want to land the The Monk type on your SBTI result? Here's exactly which traits to lean into, what kinds of answers produce MONK, and what to avoid. Works for anyone trying to get MONK deliberately — or avoid it.

The Short Answer

To get MONK, answer questions in ways that prioritize solitude, independence, and emotional detachment. Select options indicating a preference for individual activities, avoidance of conflict, and a strong need for personal space.

Step 1: Emphasize these core traits

The SBTI test maps your answers across 15 dimensions. To get MONK, your responses should consistently signal:

  • 1
    Independent
  • 2
    Introspective
  • 3
    Reserved
  • 4
    Observant
  • 5
    Calm
  • 6
    Self-Sufficient

Step 2: Answer patterns to aim for

You actively mute group chats.

Your ideal weekend involves zero human interaction.

You have a designated 'do not disturb' corner in your home.

People describe you as 'chill' or 'mysterious'.

You're the go-to person for advice because you're good at seeing things objectively.

You find small talk incredibly draining.

Step 3: What to avoid

If you keep ending up on GOGO / FUCK / OH-NO instead of MONK, your answers are tilting toward those archetypes. Specifically avoid:

  • Over-emphasizing can appear distant or uncaring
  • Over-emphasizing may struggle with teamwork
  • Over-emphasizing tendency to overthink
  • Over-emphasizing difficulty expressing emotions openly
  • Over-emphasizing potential for social isolation

Is it OK to game the SBTI test?

SBTI is entertainment, not a clinical assessment. Plenty of people retake it to see different results, unlock the hidden DRUNK type, or land the label their friends got. There's no ethical issue with steering your answers — the test makers built it as a meme, not a diagnostic. Just remember: the most interesting result is usually the one you get when you answer honestly first time.
