I sometimes find it hard to know how many people are actually bothering to read my my more involved philosophical meanderings, so it's always nice to actually get a reply, let alone appreciation!
I'll try to answer your question; my reasons are pretty close to your own really, though my priorites probably tend to be different. Of course, these are all very general reasons for being on almost any worthwhile internet forum; the fact that this one contains a lot of information and discussion on psychology in general and Mbti in particular helps to give it a unique flavour of its own that happens to fit quite well with my own interests in psychology and observing human interaction.
Mostly the type and Mbti theme just helps to give my observations and interactions an added dimension. I only occasionally post on the Mbti specific sections, if something happens to particularly interest me. That's about it really - I tend to be quite an off and on participant according to whether the mood takes me or what else I'm doing.
It does worry me a bit to see some people acting more like "believers", and wanting to view everything in life through an MBTI prism, a prism that distorts, like any limited philosophy. I've never really understood the tendency of people to hold such exclusive and dominating beliefs that they underpin their whole thought process, but maybe that's because I'm something of a natural skeptic. Victor over time has come across as one of life's natural believers, a person of true and steadfast faith who has renounced the heretical and dangerous path of Mbti for the enlightened Truth of psychometrics. Now he wishes to show everyone else the way and the light, perhaps, not realising how unlike him some of the rest of us are? I don't know for sure, but I continue to observe. It has its own fascination
