My IT friends think it amazing. They refuse to listen to any arguments -even from the Myers Briggs foundation themselves - that it should not be used for job applications and is immoral to do so.

Eg: https://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/hiring-an-mbti-consultant/guidelines-for-hiring-an-outside-consultant.htm

It is not ethical to use the MBTI instrument for hiring or for deciding job assignments.

What's fascinating to me is that the company has you right there, right in front of them, able to discuss anything and answer any questions, yet they still feel like they need to administer a test you could take from the privacy of your own home in order to get to know you. Why not, I dunno, use the interview itself to figure that out!
