The Myers-Briggs is a bogus test without validity or reliability. It also is not normed. Like astrology, some of the conclusions may happen to correspond with your life though.

Are you a psychologist or statistician? I'm not smarting off. I'm sincerely curious about what would lead you to this conclusion.
Myers-Briggs, to the best of my knowledge, has a sample size of millions and has been refined over 3-4 decades. Also, I know a psychologist who strongly believes in the accuracy of this test.

It has been taken by millions of people, but the normative sample was not millions. Within the field of psychology it is typically used for career counseling. Its utility is marginal outside of that setting for the most part, it is not often used in clinical settings. It is not a bad instrument and it is certainly an overstatement to say it is not reliable or valid, though many psychologists (yes I am one) see it as a bit of a pop psychology personality inventory that you would see in a magazine.
