That presupposes that other types have the desire and capability to manipulate the test results in the manner you're presenting. I think most people that run into the MBTI test don't have the background experience and the foresight as to what the results mean so they don't come to it with a "plan" in the same way you do or might.

If the statement is that the test can be manipulated, then the answer is of course. But manipulating tests comes with experience with those tests.
