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.

It’s just nonsense basically. The method to derrive a “type” is too simplistic, there aren’t enough types to fit everyone, there is no basis for such a thing as a personality type, or at least none that are scientifically defined and accepted, and of course it’s subject to a lot of bias by the person taking the test. It’s also fairly inconsistent.
It’s fun to fuck around with it I guess but it doesn’t really say anything about a person aside from what they really want to tell others about themselves, how they want to be perceived.
