right on. I'm not discounting your experience btw.
I tend to agree with others that it's a pigeonhole test and that there are way more than 16 personality types.
even though I had more belief in Jungian psychology than Freudian when I was studying it. The test forces everyone into the 16 archetypes in an unnatural way.
the test has been debunked over the years, as has Jungian psych, generally we are in the post-Jungian era of psychology now.
