Nice connection! I thought i heard of this before!

I have found that MBTI is generally considered pseudoscience and survey nonsense that has small correlation to anything with the preference for "big 5" instead. This definitely decreases the "ah ha!" feeling I had when reading this article.

My understanding of the article is that this is not a giant framework to try and "categorize the world" like MBTI, but is a way to help the people who have difficulty communicating without being deemed "awkward" to think about the neuroscience and the strengths that they can focus on instead.

Maybe Ill look up any studies performed over P & J to see if it is correlated with anything other than "awkward" predictions.
