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.

Aside from it’s other problems, the thing that actually makes it pseudoscience is that it was just made up and never tested. If it were science, it would be tested, and if it didn’t do what it claimed to do, it would be refined or abandoned. (or refined until it had to be abandoned)
