“Those who do not view armed self defense as a basic human right, ignore the mass graves of those who died on their knees at the hands of tyrants.”
I edited the OP:
It's been decades since I took it, so perhaps the modern POV is as you say among modern academics now. It was standard in several psych courses I took, one by personality psych proff at Harvard who was tops in her field at the time, mid 90s. We took that one, the MMI, and others. She didn't put a lot of stock in any of them as I recall, didn't single out MBTI as useless either. Does not surprise better has been developed. A little digging I found this article that's supportive of your comments, it's fallen out of favor:

ESTJ here.. and the description pretty much fits me to a T. I do realize it's pretty much junk science though.
INTP-A Logician. Reading through the personality type, there are several things that do describe me well, but also things that do not. These tests are interesting but I feel like most people are probably a mix of 2 or more of these personality type. The test might say I'm a Logician but in reality I might be 55% Logician and 45% something else. Another Logician will have a very different personality from mine. The test might say I'm introverted even though I may also have some extroverted qualities. I just think it's too limiting to categorize ourselves into 1 of 16 or however many personality types there are on these kinds of tests. So I've never put a whole lot of stock in these personality types. Interesting test to take just for fun though.
The problem I have with these are that they may get to a 'basic' personality that you are most comfortable with, but a fully functioning human being should be able to employ different 'personalities' depending on the situation. Some people are betterat it than others- and that I think is a real key. Trump definitely has a hard time pivoting.
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.
INTJ almost always, got INTP one time, I think.
The Predictive Index is more useful, in my opinion.
ENTJ here. Commander. Apparently it's the rarest? Who knows, but it does seem to describe me pretty well.
Logistician. ISTJ-A.
I've found Myers Briggs does a poor job with repeatable results, providing useful insight, predicting motivations, and predicting behavior. It seems to still have wide use in corporate circles, but I wouldn't take that as a measure of accuracy or success.
The only personality test that's stood up well to scrutiny over time, about 40 years now, is the Five Factor Personality Analysis (Big Five). I recommend using that instead.
If you want a cliffs notes test that doesn't require as much study, Hartman's People Code does a very good job of accurately predicting motivations and behaviors with less resolution, but also less time invested.
