It is sound but not reliable or entirely valid. (Soundness pertains to logic behind the test. Validity to accuracy and predictive power and reliability to test/retest reproducibility.) What is invalid is using this test to anything more than pain typology. It is not meant to be a hiring guide, a mental issue test nor intelligence test, nor social group fit test. Big Five makes it a bit more explicit though still does nor fully decorrelate the factors. It also has a bit of a reliability problem. NEO P-I is even better. IPIP, further still. There are more advanced psychological inventories too and ones more specialised for given tasks. I'm pretty sure soneone will come up with a way to integrate emotion and body language reading into an inventory one day.
