The underlying claim is that people's mental processes fall under these behaviors and from observation it appears that there are four pairs of functions. It is these functional stacks that determine the 16 buckets/types and not any sort of dichotomy of the letters.
1. The breakdown of the letters doesn't make any sense and doesn't appear to lead to any insight. This is a completely valid critique of how MBTI is being pitched and presented. But, at least personally, I find the cognitive functions at least point in the right direction after examining my own mental processes and what is present or absent.
2. If we are measuring the quality of a test to be how well it can repeat the same result, it is not surprising that once you get into a higher dimensionality of representing a person's personality that we don't have a great repeatable way to test. This is a product of both the test and the difficulty of conveying and capturing what it is trying to represent, and the general inexperience of people to be able to accurately enumerate their own thought process.
Happy to hop on zoom or discord and explain functions to anyone interested.
