I also know that MBTI was invented by a mother and daughter who had no qualifications at all - and in particular they had no psychometric qualifications and so had no way of making a Valid and Reliable personality test.

The pair of them were morons. They took Jung's prime cuts and turned them into McDonalds.

Also their test is plaigerised from, "PersonalityTypes", by Carl Jung who was a collaborator in WW II and a guru of the New Age religion.

It was not plagiarized. He gave them permission. He disagreed from the beginning -- he wanted nothing to do with a test.
He was right too. The test is far too superficial. It's humiliating that I ever once bought into it.

In fact qualified psychometricians regard MBTI as Invalid and Unreliable as astrology. And all qualified astronomers know that astrology has no truth value.

I figured that shit out when I was 11. You don't need an advanced degree to recognize the absurdity inherent in the idea that the random configuration of the stars, inappropriately named based on things they don't actually resemble is able anything as sensitive intricate and delicate as a brain just on the coincidence that we happen to be in just the right positions relative to these forms, of which relations we've somehow mapped out to precision even despite the fact that the entire macro changes dramatically by the millisecond because of the micro.

In fact MBTI is used here simply to reinforce narcissism.
