Artemus: " I am an ENTP on MB..."

The Myers-Briggs has poor psychometric qualities in several respects. First, the idea that we have fixed "personality types," within the MB codetypes, isn't supported by data showing that people retain these codetypes on retest over long periods of time have gone by. In other words, the codetype has not been shown to have high test-retest reliability over long intervals.

Second, there is no real validity data showing that the codetypes accurately predict real-world behavior to a statistically significant extent.

There are some references in this wikipedia article to peer-reviewed research showing the lack of reliability and validity:
