As someone who is ambi in several of those categories I still think there's utility in the classifications. It's definitely pop-pseudo-science, but I'm not convinced proper science can even distill something as complex as personality into something a lay person can understand. Maybe it's the best most people will do in understanding themselves. A friend of mine who also recognizes the pseudo-scientific nature of MBTI put it well: use the test to pinpoint where people may differ from you and learn why they do. He claims he has almost mastered all eight letters (he still stuggles with T), and I have to say that he is one of the most well-balanced people I know. Personally, the test revealed to me why people may think I come off as arrogant (it apparently comes with the J and T), which I have become more aware of in my interaction with others.
