@SF - The MBTI measures preference rather than absolute development. It may suggest that some aspects need work, but I think more importantly it makes it possible to understand where other people are coming from.
To wit, I discovered MBTI when I was 20 or so. Prior to that and being an INTJ, I thought all disagreements was due to either faulty logic or due to starting out from different axioms. It never occurred to me that many people don't use [logical] reason at all. I just presumed they weren't any good at it.

Heh, I thought that too until I discovered this
I wonder how common that misunderstanding is...
I consistently am rated as a very strongly expressed ENTJ every time I take it on several different web sites over an extended time period. At least I am consistent, but it claims I am the most rare personality type and should be a world leader or something.
I guess I'll jump in on this:
I'm an INTJ, although I feel I've been less strongly "I" over the past 10 years (or just better at faking an "E" when necessary, which is increasingly so).
