MBTI is a commercial product based on old theories. It sells well because the results are usually presented as only positive and desirable traits (the archetypes).
For a more accurate representation of personality types, the Big Five has more or less the consensus nowadays. (it's more "scientific", as far as psychology can be "science")
Both are somehow correlated, but a well known failure of the MTBI model is the lack of distinction between introversion and neuroticism.
