As a side: Myers Briggs is also useless junk that someone just made up, it has no scientific or predictive merits. So it actually is on the same level as making stuff up from seeing a few photobombs.

When attempts were made to test Myers Briggs , it turned out to be pretty random and more of a mood test than a personality test, with results significantly changing for the same test when retested over shot time periods. Not to mention all its objectivity problems, and problems with introducing dichotomies which do not exist in actual personalities.

If you are interested in personality traits, look for people doing using OCEAN model. While not perfect, it is actually based on empirical evidence, and has stood up to testing and scrutiny.
