An INTJ haplogroup G2c M201-mutated O-negative weirdo. But, hey, at 56 I have a full head of hair so all this weirdness has likely done me some good.

It's difficult for some to believe that some people are introverted while others are extroverted, yet it's both true and observable.

The same is true of the other three traits Jung used to describe different personality types.

Often people themselves have less perspective on themselves than their friends, family and co-workers do, but the differences are quite pronounced, tend to be very fixed over a person's lifetime and are highly predictive of the career a person eventually pursues.

A construct which is strongly predictive is a good model of reality. The sixteen Jungian personality types used by the Meyers-Briggs test is such a construct.

Well those two differ only on one preference and say quite different things about the two types.

The Jung typology/MBTI was a pretty good start as a personality inventory. Academic psychology has gone beyond it by adding more dimensions and relating more to statistical empirical results:

But there are some similarities between the two.
