https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-testI started paying attention to that when I started dating after my divorce. It was somewhat helpful in determining who to take a pass on at times. Me: an ENFJ.

It depends upon how much I have had to drink when I take the test.

Mine said I'm an azzhole.
I'd say it is fairly accurate.

Pop psychology very successfully marketed. It's amazing how well the ENFJ profile describes my past--both the positive and negative. I think it's pretty useful. I was dating an ESFJ for a couple of months, and she started showing signs of that type that don't mesh well with mine. She was gorgeous, and a great person, but that made it easier to move on to someone with whom I'm more compatible.

I’ve taken that several times. I’m on the border of a couple. I think for me at least, it’s situational.

Tests aren't validated by anecdotes of how well the results appear to match individuals. It requires large samples and proper controls. The fact that you believe it is useful indicates how successfully it has been marketed.
When my job involved the purchase or contracting of various tests, I rejected any marketing that was supported by testimonials. I wanted to see the actual validation studies.
Tests like this do make for interesting discussions as in group meetings, but the problem arises when they are given too much credence and are used for such purposes as making hiring decisions.

Curious what they were. Doesn't matter as far as how I would treat anyone, but the best friends I've had for decades before I even heard of MB all have fairly close MB types. I don't think that's a coincidence.

Don’t recall which components. It’s been years since the last time.

I know a lot of people with extreme intelligence and awareness that aren't susceptible to Jedi-mind-trick marketing who find it pretty interesting.

I never said it wasn't interesting. I said it was of unproven validity, and it has nothing to do with the intelligence and awareness of anybody.
Do you have a graduate degree in psychometrics? There are established standards for the use of psychological tests.
I should have known better than to comment here.
Like you said, to each his own. Carry on.

Interesting! Those are really really rare and, in my experience, generally very smart.

INTJ strongly defined in all the factors.
