Note: actually posted the evening of October 18th 2017. I'm doing the bury-in-the-archive-so-you-don't-get-perfectionistic thing again.
Person 1: "I think people take Mysers-Briggs too seriously."
Person 2: "I can't afford to take it too seriously, I share a type with Adolf Hitler."

On a side note, apparently cats have become the INFJ mascot. See, being affectionately referred to as a cat has made me feel understood by other INFJs that I don't know. However, I don't feel defined by "INFJ" just as I don't feel defined by "cat".
There is a plethora of important traits that the MBTI does not encompass, including , morals, values, interests, health, friends, loves, and beliefs. Though some groups will statistically share more of these traits and that's where the often cringey, horoscope-sounding descriptions come from. It's just not within the typology's structure.
However, on days when I am not feeling myself or am fed up with people, it does help give me some much-needed perspective, reminders of insight (ie: "it's their 4th function, it's their response to stress..."), or at least an easily-accessible vocabulary to express what I mean using cognitive functions.
Cognitive functions is the only type of MBTI I actually like (I'll pass on the overly-hypothetical tests or limiting, horoscope-like general descriptions). It gives a name to 8 parts of our psyche, or 8 "functions" that we we all have but don't necessarily have a word for already. The theory goes that we all have all 8, we just tend to develop or use hem in a different order called your "stacking" (like stacking tools in a toolbox).
It includes that response to stress forces us to mature and use to learn our "lower" functions, whereas when we're on a high we may naturally to thrive and feel very at home in our higher functions.
For some resources and on MBTI, feel free to check out this board (I also have boards for each individual type on the same account):

Also, over time I might post a few of my Quora answers here (including the MBTI ones) once I feel brave and coordinated enough.
If there is anyone here who feels so inclined to post their type please feel free to do so in the comments!
(Do you like the Youtuber-like conclusion?)
