re: Why the Myers-Briggs test is totally meaningless

That quote is from someone. Who obviously doesn't understand the purpose of the Myers-Briggs. It isn't a "personality test". It is an inventory of personal preferences related to how someone interacts with their world.

It isn't meant to predict anything. It is meant to help people understand why they interact with other people or situations the way they do. The real value, into opinion is in doing team-building initiatives. When you understand where you and the other people on your team are coming from, it usually makes it easier to navigate the team-forming and building process.
