The introversion-extraversion personality axis is the only part of the MBTI that modern psychometrics accepts basically without reservation. It lives on as the introversion-extraversion factor of the Big 5 Personality Model.

I find it interesting that the rest of the MBTI is so thoroughly rejected -- in particular, I read in work that accepts the MBTI (uh-oh, red flag!) that males tend to split 75% T / 25% F and females do the reverse, 75% F / 25% T.

It seems to me that this very large difference in responses should be sufficient to show that the T / F axis is capturing something. If the T / F distinction were meaningless, it wouldn't be able to predict anything, but it clearly can predict the respondent's sex.

It is capturing something right. But it is flatting down a much more complex reality.
