My sense is that it’s a useful model for some things, but I’m most interested in how useful it is for relationships.
I think there are better models to use when considering relationships. I note that often such models are useful in as much as they serve to provide a language which can be used to describe intuitive associations that we pick up through observation. The King Warrior Magician Lover model is not terrible, being a formalisation of the ‘opposites attract’ conventional wisdom with consideration given to how different people relate on intellectual and emotional levels.
As for MBTI, I have found it useful in some regards. I know, for example, that I can basically rule out relationships with anyone who comes in as a “J”. I just find “J”s annoying (‘judgemental’ of me, I know!)
Edit: The links you provide are… interesting. I must admit I have rather strong doubts about just how accurate those physical descriptions of various personality types are!

Me too. There does seem to be some correlation between physical appearance and personality, but those details are rather burdensome.
