The only useful thing I got from MBTI and the related training was that different people think and communicate differently; sometimes very differently. People work differently and you can't treat everyone the same; and different people need styles of communication. This was in the midst of leadership training in an organization that had one set of guidelines for performance reviews and promotions.
So like most management training / classes, this insight is fairly obvious but mostly ignored.

I did it as a Masters student with some colleagues, and it was an eye-opener for showing how many of us had different priorities in terms of work and working styles. (I think for the cerebral types it can also be something of a relief to realise you're not just weird!).
