I don't understand Myers Briggs; every question I'm like "it depends on the situation," and then at the end it gives 51/49% in every category

I’ve definitely experienced it myself, but that is a major critique of MBTI from the point of view of personality psychologists. As a result, the Big Five personality scale is based on spectrums between traits instead of just saying someone’s extroverted or not.

The fact that MBTI is so popular in spite of all the critique (ex. articles like https://www.vox.com/2014/7/15/5881947/myers-briggs-personality-test-meaningless …) seems to prove that people love personality typology though, rather than just saying “I’m a bit higher on this scale of a certain trait than the normal distribution.”

this piece is straight-up appeal-to-authority, appeal-to-authority, appeal-to-authority, appeal-to-authority.... you could fix most of the problems with it by giving better contextualization for the prompts, such that it targets a "specific" self rather than your "whole self"

I’ll admit that I picked that article as a basic and broad example of MBTI critique—would your argument be that the MBTI does work to describe certain aspects or contents of self and personality? Or that MBTI is made for certain contexts?
