I don't particularly like the simplification to 4 letters, but the Myers-Briggs test does do one thing right: it assigns positive self-worth to all 16 personality types it defines, and it addresses the challenges in the different types very clearly. It shows how different people in this world can find paths to success without all of them having to be stamped out clones. I think what be yourself means most of all is understanding the implications of being yourself. Self-awareness of the downsides to extreme ends of your personality - being too trusting, too cautious, too demanding, too brittle, too accommodating, too demonstrative, too anything that in and of itself is a perfectly normal human trait - goes a long way.
