It's not true by its own definition, it's just that if you soak it in, you will actually start to see the patterns behind it among people. It's still going to be pseudoscience because there are a lot of variables, but it often works and even more often people don't know what to look at or what to put together, because you'll find really A LOT of articles on the Internet that try to run mechanics on certain types without understanding what or why. I assume that if you want to put this together more precisely, there is a lot of scope here. And lest it be said that I'm talking out of turn myself, I only became interested in this whole MBTI thing because an ENFP once told me I was an INTP after a few hours of talking about silly things. That's exactly what these tests once told me. Of course, these are still anecdotes, but we are sciency. Is it a problem that someone has catalogued autism in this way? Is it a question of lack of precision or bad direction? Am I asking the wrong questions? |

My guess as to why MBTI is more popular than other equally valid personality tests is that the splits are defined in such a way as to capture a few traits that people find the most irksome in their everyday relationships. You want to take a rational approach, but your SO gets all emotional? Well, that's a T vs. F thing. It might not be medically meaningful, but IMO it does help us appreciate that other people's minds might be wired differently. Not wrong, just different.
