Yeah, anyone who thinks that there's exactly 16 types of person is using it like a horoscope, but that really isn't the point.

but the “cognitive functions” as defined by Carl Jung, which a lot of people will find to be just as much non-sense but with the right attitude I think they’re a useful tool to learn about ourselves and others.

Exactly, and that's what it helped me with. It's not a personality test about how you act outwardly (or which Pokémon you are or whatever), it's supposed to be about the inner workings.

But if you want an example of misuse: There's an MBT community on Reddit that is full of that sort of bullshit.
