I think what we see here with certain people's adherence to the MBTI types is very similar to what happens with horoscopes: "I like what I read and it is vague and general enough that it absolutely can apply to me, so by god, it's right!" I mean, my MBTI type is "mastermind." It's very flattering to think I"m a rare test result and come on, a name like mastermind? I could go on and on bragging about my type if I wanted to. But it's meaningless. I don't. I agree with all statements about confirmation bias and wanting to see in yourself what you read in your result. It's flattery, plain and simple.
