MBTI is not a diagnosis or a credential. Think of it as vocabulary for what a person reaches for first. When a description nails a slice of you it feels true; when it misses another slice it feels wrong. That's the resolution it has.
Your type isn't fixed for life — different seasons pull different functions forward. Never use MBTI as a hiring filter, a relationship gatekeeper, or a clinical instrument.
Best use: as a starter vocabulary for your own self-reflection, or as an opener for explaining how you work to someone else. Beyond that, treat it skeptically.
