Speaking of woo, something about personality typology strikes me as woo-adjacent. Am I wrong?
Do tests like Myers-Briggs tell us something useful?

Everyone knows that MBTI is pseudoscience, barely better than astrology - with too-vague descriptions and "well most of these sorta fit me" personality descriptions.
Well, you're only halfway right! Buckle up kids, I'm gonna take us on an overly-detailed steelman of MBTI.

imo it's closer to a shitty big-5 that gives labels instead of less actionable but more accurate "higher on this spectrum i guess". Astrology is 100% random
