In fairness to @failed_buddhist, you don't need to see them as being at the same level.
That said, I hardly think MBTI is valid as such - and I say that as someone who used to be able to ascertain someone's MBTI type with very high probability (~80% agreement with test results.)

It's a very good framing/storytelling device, but otherwise it has little going for it that Big Five doesn't do better and more reliably.

Invalid for the sorts of things it's usually claimed to matter for (e.g. job choice, motivational structure...)
Big Five is different, I agree.

Go ahead, find reliable behavioural correlates of MBTI types. It's extremely difficult, but if you can find something replicable I'll grant you that.
Most personality typologies suffer from this lack of clear relationship with behaviour, yet they make assertions about it...

Sogyal took away my faith that high lamas are bodhisattvas.
Please don't take my MBTI away. It's been a rough year.

I'll grant you this: MBTI does say that INTPs are prone to romantic belief in dodgy pet theories.

MBTI predicts that INTPs are prone to belief in MBTI - sounds like MBTI is valid
