You should care about the functions because even people who don't fit the profiles fit the functions.
The functions are more exact, and you can accurately move from function preference to type. You cannot accurately move from the four separate dichotomies to the functions.
The dichotomies pit things like Thinking and Feeling against each other when they are not in opposition. Thinking depends on Feeling and vice versa. Ditto for Sensing and Intuition.
Also, just because you took a function test and didn't get the right results doesn't mean you should throw out the theory. All tests are going to be unreliable.
