I don't think the test is meaningless---it just doesn't mean what many people claim it means. It is one way of mapping people onto a 16-part space which, for half of people who take it, remains consistent across sittings of the test. At a minimum it means that, for any two people with the same type indicator, they answer Myers-Briggs questions in similar ways. It's the implications of that re: job/relationship/life performance that have been oversold. Of course, the same benefits could be gained by classifying people according to almost any set of questions. The MBTI exam isn't really worth _money_. The binary nature of the questions hardly seems like a problem in that aggregating many binary questions together can yield a scale with many more gradations.
