it'd be cool if you could actually post your opinion on it or at least remotely explain your "hot take" instead of just posting random out of context shit that seems like it's directly pulled from a quick google search without even a basic understanding of what you're actually posting.

I apologize immensely Mr. Director, I will now explain my hot take from posting supposed out of context in MLA form as well!

The jreg video is actually a satire (the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues) regarding the use of Myers-Briggs personality tests by comparing the results to a horoscope, as some of the results are extremely vague, and possibly reaching for an answer. You know who else does that? Mediums! Hahaha, how funny and comedic!

 

The scientific article describes how the use of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (henceforth which will be described as MBTI) may actually be slightly harmful, as the test has been found to show "no evidence supporting the utility of the MBTI" (Bjork and Druckman 1991). Additionally, they noted that many of our ideas regarding some of the types (such as Extroverted and Introverted) are not the same as those that we perceive extroversion and introversion.

The second scientific article which was apparently deleted, not even hidden, was an earlier article from 1962 regarding the MBTI and retests after approximately 14 months, in which data was shown that the correlation between the two tests for a specific trait (Thinking-Feeling) was only .48 out of 1. For example, this is a graph with a correlation score of .48:

Here's my blatant opinion, BoM: I don't think that the Myers-Briggs test is a valid indicator of any type of personality, and portraying it as such is not only a bad idea but a disgrace to the modern psychology community. 

 

Here's my results if you care: https://imgur.com/a/78ffNYk

Yeah we get it, it's pseudoscience but not nearly as arbitrary as astrology. It's just fun dude, anyone who makes life decisions based off a short online questionnaire gets what they have coming, idk why you're so pressed. You're starting to give off dolo vibes...
