There's research re: if MBTI measures what it is said to, by correlating it w other tests etc. It has a certain degree of validity & reliability. Most tests used have no valid scientific research into them. But that doesn't mean all the purposes ppl use MBTI for are appropriate.

Unsurprisingly, the one category MBTI gets people talking about more than any other, "introvert vs extrovert", is the one that's now famous for no one being able to decide which one they are and people being in the verge of just throwing it out (everyone's an "ambivert")

Some ppl are ambiverts-- but most are not. Introversion doesn't mean you never need ppl in yr life or can't do public speaking. Extroversion doesn't mean U need zero time alone. There are many misunderstandings re: what these traits are.

There's a big controversy in personality psychology overall about exactly that. "whether personality is stable across time (trait-level) or whether it can vary across time (state-level)" So she was not unique, or uniquely mistaken, about that issue.https://www.thecareerproject.org/blog/trait-vs-state-theory-in-personality/ …

Okay but I'm going further than that I'm not saying it's because people actually change over time, I'm saying it may be because how they feel about the *test* changes, how they feel about the *definition* of words like "rational" or "intuitive"
