I guess most people don’t have access to MBTI test results for their peers, either
Well, in my experience they’re frequently self-reported on forums, social networks, etc. And—again, in my experience—knowing people’s MBTI (with some confidence that they’re honestly reporting actual results from a real test) is certainly better for very broadly predicting someone’s personality (and constraining expectations about at least their social actions, so not just Forer effect) than their star sign or political affiliation (barring the more extreme options… although I have seen a few fascists who were just generally confused and alienated and liked cute things) or religious self-identification or whatever!
