I think the whole thing about Big 5 being better is typical academia criticizing things without a real solution. MBTI works. There is a lot of useful information about it. Same thing for enneagram. Big 5 is an outlier - however popular it may be amongst academia. There is little of value that is published about it that I can actually use as a normal everyday person. I can use MBTI and Enneagram. There is a ton of literature that helps me to interpret things and evaluate meaning.
Well, the thing that strikes me is that Big Five is actually very similar to MBTI except it has one extra dichotomy. So, how can MBTI be completely worthless, but Big Five isn't?
