My employer offered the MBTI in the late '90s. I couldn't make any sense of the categories, which did not seem to me to be dichotomies for which I needed to show preferences, and I didn't. I am pleased to see the same thing in the criticisms in the Wikipedia article!
My answers were so close as to make any letter combination meaningless, with an answer or two different, the 4 letters would be entirely different. My personal conclusion, of course, was that this was because I am such a comprehensive and balanced person--that's mild joke, BTW. Waste of time, but at least it was a social break from work.
The young woman supposedly "trained" in MBTI had no clue how the categories were set up or how they were justified, nor could the personnel gals there, though they are quite smart people. She couldn't even understand the questions. She could just say the test was supposed to show preferences--which was precisely what I was questioning.
Everyone else--I mean everyone--seemed to think their results told them something about themselves. I suppose getting people to think about their attitudes might be revealing to them, but it seems to me astrology would be just as useful for that-or useless.
