I am skeptical. I don't take it as fact. I did find it interesting that the INTP profiles I read described me with painful accuracy, which is why I've begun exploring this stuff a little more. Still, it's good advice to take everything with a grain of salt.

I don't claim you are wrong, but be very careful about the Barnum/Forer effect when reading such descriptions:

BTW: I'm personally rather immune to this effect, since I'm not a person who fits "the profile of a typical citizen".
