What makes the MBTI pseudoscience?

1.13K 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.

To add to what others have said, any self reported test is usually unreliable at best.

It ends up boiling down to how the individual feels about themselves at a particular point rather than a true overview.
