Tips

culture
From the MBTI personality test, where E = Extraversion and I = Introversion. MBTI exploded on Chinese social media around 2022-2023, especially on Xiaohongshu and Douyin, partially replacing 星座 (xīngzuò, zodiac sign) as the go-to small-talk personality framework. INFP/INFJ types are particularly popular labels.
register
Internet/young-people slang. The letter 'E' is read as the English letter ('ee'), so 'E人' is read 'ee rén'. Pair: I人 (I rén), introvert. Spawned compounds like 装E (zhuāng E, 'pretending to be extroverted') and 显I (xiǎn I, 'revealing your introverted side').
