Nah, the MBTI at least has SOME basis in non-BS. Sure, it has its issues because it's, you know, psychology, and the human mind can't be boiled down into 16 neat little compartments and then that compartment defines your life and all that. Plus, I question its testing methods and theory the same way I question IQ testing. But the MBTI thing does give one a basic, general idea of how one thinks and tends to interact with the world and why and in that sense it can at least be useful on occasion. People
are building questionable mythology around it, building up "counseling" careers based on it and things like that, the same way they have done with astrology, though. I agree if that's what you meant by "basically astrology."
Because astrology, OTOH, is a just a huge steaming pile of BS and nothing but BS. I don't understand why anyone in the 21st century -- Or, hell, even the 18th century --would give it any credence whatsoever.
