In astrology your sign is fixed based on a date. In mtbi your type is based on how you react to different questions in the 4 axis. So they are different to me in that regard. Now whether or not you give them any merit is another thing since they both pretend to be something they're not. But self reflection is good, and understanding yourself is good. Unfortunately in my experience the people who gloat about mtbi are usually pricks that do it less for the self reflecting and more just to excuse their behavior. At work i have a coworker who loves to bring up mtbi to justify their actions
There's a contradiction here. If your MBTI type isn't 'fixed' and is based on how you decide to answer questions, then it implies that you can choose your own outcome and MBTI type, rendering it meaningless.
If your MBTI is fixed because it is based on how you answer questions so long as it is without the intent to alter its outcome, then it is not anymore deterministic than a horoscope.
At the end of the day, people see what they want to in themselves and discard the rest, whether it's reading a horoscope or MBTI profile.

Sorry, friend. No one escapes The Bees.

I take offense to this. I was clearly hatched, and I think you know that.
I was surgically extracted
