ENFP

I find it hard to accept that you're not a T type. Especially since you're too forthright with your views to be an FP.

I'm an INFJ

Yet their life's work remains relevant, therefore they still live on. Work hard, succeed, ask for nothing.

Crap, I just noticed LBJ is on there, must have blocked him out earlier. Screw that guy.

That is because we all know this is bullshit Kerry, it is just for us to have fun!

What makes you say that? It's not an exact science in the same physically provable way like say mechanical engineering is, but no form of psychoanalysis is an exact, mechanical engineering type science. It's as steeped in reality as theoretical astrophysics is. Case in point: many businesses, especially in the US, require for potential new recruits to undergo MBTI testing during interview phases. It's not like astrology or some other quasi-religious method of classifying people.

As for the post in question which you quoted, I would have thought the answer for that was obvious. Either the poster has a very tight series of scores, which could go either way (I myself, though I almost always test as an INFJ, could be typed as an INTJ, INTP, or an INFP); or the poster changes their answers to each question with every successive test attempt.

The only reasonable objection I've seen people raise against MBTI is that there are only sixteen types, arguing that it's ridiculous to type 7 billion people into just sixteen categories; but we do that all the time anyway. In addition to this, they fail to understand that though there may only be sixteen types, there's are two hundred different possible scores for each individual type - one can be 100% ESTP, or it's opposite, 100% INFJ; and everything in between. I don't know the maths but I imagine that means we have something like 3000+ types, not 16.

I can come up with sixteen ways of classifying people, right now, that each and every one of us does almost subconsciously as a natural reflex:

Age/generation

Sex

Race

Socioeconomic class

Country of origin/residence

State/province of origin/residence

City of origin/residence

Sexuality

Employed

Unemployed

Educated

Uneducated

Attractive

Unattractive

Politically right wing

Politically left wing

The difference is that these sixteen categories of humans, which everyone accepts as 100% fact are actually absolute, superficial, horseshit. MBTI is based on a reality that is more real than what we perceive with our five senses. Logically this makes perfect sense as our five senses are easily fooled (otherwise magicians and optical illusions and their like would have no effect on us) and also have no ability to perceive anything that is not surface deep in complexity. Relying on what you can see, touch, smell, hear, taste, or explain with physical scientific principles; is to look at the tip of an iceberg and believe that you've seen and understood all of it. There's an entire immaterial universe that is the counterpart of the material universe, which physical science does not understand, and childishly rejects because it can't explain it. "I don't understand how it works, therefore it can't be real!"

For what it's worth however MBTI is not perfect. A less 'scientific' model of personality theory is the Enneagram, however, anyone with even the most cursory of interests in psychology acknowledges the superiority of the Enneagram, even though it is less visibly provable.
