I was under the impression the Meyer-Briggs was essentially pseudo-science?

My personality type is the "I don't believe in personality types" type.

It's been different every time I've taken the test.

The test is rubbish. On the other hand, much like a horoscope, it provides a basis for conversation and reflection.

Yes, no, and maybe. The typical MBTI only reveals to you exactly what you had told it moments before, so it is very accurate. Test results will change, however, because you change over time.

I consider myself dynamically-typed.

Comedy answer: single and unloved.

EDIT:

Last time I took this, ENTJ. Now, ENFP. I'm apparently going soft.

I don't need a test to know I'm an asshole.
