While it's true that the theory talks about a spectrum, would you agree that's not how people (like the original comment) use it, given that everything is reduced to 4 letters, with no nuance?
Whatever 4 letter combination becomes a "class", like "debater", and somehow it becomes appropriate to draw conclusions about a person based on that.
The big 5 has also been criticized quite a bit. The wikipedia article has a good section on that.
