Solemateleft,
I think you're a good guy, and I've always appreciated your posts and your participation.
I need to point out some issues, and disagree, but please don't take it personally.
I think you're good people.
I just have a lot to say on this topic, and need to get it off my chest.
Please feel free to message me privately at any time.

Your Cited Article:
You cited a link to sitepoint.
Sitepoint is not an authoritative site for either psychology or general news... sitepoint is a hub for web professionals.
The author of the article, Alyssa Gregory, has no credentials in psychology, and she has no authority to speak on the subject of psychology... she is an entrepreneur and content marketer.
Neither the author, nor the site, carry any authority or credentials for assessing the Meyers-Briggs test.
So basically... that whole article means nothing.
And it gets worse.
In fact, since she admits to being a content marketer, and that article contains entirely useless links going to various hubs and advertising sites, I would have to assume that entire article is nothing but a piece of rubbish she wrote as quick piece of "content marketing." This is the kind of article a "content marketer" has to crank out by the bushel, on topics she knows nothing about, for which she put in maybe 5 minutes of research. Her job is to crank out fast articles stuffed with various links and keywords... not to be an expert on anything.
So... to put it as kindly as possible... your supporting article is entirely useless rubbish.
Professional Consensus:
Professionals in psychology seem to have generally debunked the Myers-Briggs test as useless at worst, or flawed at best.
The only reason it is popular is because it makes money, and those making money from it continue driving it into the popular culture... keeping it relevant in pop culture keeps it's proponents making money.
I feel pretty confident that few professionals in psychology are big proponents of the Myers-Briggs unless they are directly making money from it through paid assessments or training. I think the consensus is that it's considered somewhere on the spectrum between "seriously flawed" and "useless".
Personal Opinion:
Personally, I have never needed a psyche test to evaluate my staff.
I just have a cup of coffee with people, and listen to them talk.
It isn't that hard to figure people out.
And as far as myself...
I don't know how you can spend every day with yourself and not know anything about yourself.
I find the idea baffling.
