Being predictive of something is the beef here. There is no sound theory of what that something is and what specifically it would predict.
Binning people into excel rows by an arbitrary process is one of the hallmarks of either a pseudoscientific hoax, or an entertaining but scientifically unremarkable party game.
You might as well divide people into Hogswarts houses by a similar test and it would serve similar purpose.
In other words, it's a pastime driven by fictional representation of human psyche. Some groups may find this exercise fun.
But this is no reason to stop hating Meyers-Brigs given it's driven by psedoscientific marketing. While it might not be harmful, it totally is a similar type of activity like homeopathy.
