What makes the MBTI pseudoscience?

1.11K viewsOther

It’s been described as “basically a horoscope,” and I can see how the types are general and lean into confirmation bias, but why is it considered pseudoscientific specifically? Doesn’t it just describe personality traits people have? I’ve been seeing it as a shorthand way of describing general personality/worldview but I’m guessing that’s not the issue people have with it.

Not arguing scientifically here, but to me it represents some kind of algorithmic thinking which can never compete with emotional intelligence and empathy.
