It's why I think enneagram is far better, because of how concise it is and goes into the details that mbti can't. Mbti is more like a general overlay. But I definitely don't think it's all in all inaccurate. It's definitely on to something but other systems like enneagram and even instinct still do a better job in some ways.
But if I take, say, a cognitive functions test my answers ends up not so clear cut. Ti, Ne, Ni, Si, Fi all end up high functions which isn't realistic. . . I have a theory regarding that though.
Never seen it. Even if it's real, I doubt it's a problem for someone who is confident and mature.
Typism is a form of reification. Typism is for those who experience themselves as things rather than feeling persons.
To reify is to turn a feeling person into a thing, it has a long history. When feeling becomes to painful to bear, we turn ourselves into things. And we usually do this en masse with an ideology. It is very seductive, it relieves psychological pain, boosts our ego, and gives us a group to belong to.

Rudeness and incivility is not necessarily typism.

No comment on the point about prejudices, eh?
Holding prejudices is probably an evolutionary adaptation that lets people make less dangerous decisions when there isn't enough information. In modern society, this can often result in hurt feelings and unjust behavior. The solution is to raise good, moral children with critical thinking skills.
I think it was Al Franken who said "It's easier to put on slippers than to carpet the whole world." He's right.
It seems like you're talking about self-typism, but what about when one person is typist against another person?
