I'm dating a psych student and yeah, this isn't really used at all in psychology anymore, has been pretty much superseded by the five factor model. (wiki overview)
That said, it can be kind of fun if you accept it as being outdated science that doesn't really prove much anymore. 16personalities says I'm an INFP-T. The description is almost completely off base, though. The "how to recognise each cognitive function" page suggests I'm more of an ENFP which makes a bit more sense.
I'm also a sagittarius with pisces moon and gemini ascendant and some other thing I forgot.

Cool, I've heard of the Big Five and may have even done some tests with it and just don't remember. I'm sure there are definitely some better systems out there.
Okay, I took the quiz and yes I’m an INFJ. I didn’t bother reading what all this personality type entails, but I’m not sure how accurate it can be.
I'm not sure I understand the type too well myself. I just went through each letter and based on what I know about you through our interactions, I chose accordingly.
Told my friend today he is blatantly ESTP- not sure if he'll take the test, but pretty confident.

Some people I really can't figure out, though- they are a bit too balanced.
And just for fun, I also discovered a page that lists MBTI's for anime characters. I predicted my favorite character would be ENFP. I was correct, and that wasn't even the only character I like with that type. Which is IMO the most fun and lovable type.

I think the tests are unnecessary for the most part tbh. It's just a matter of addition. Which is why I find it interesting- it's being more descriptive in a short amount of time. It would be a better way to start, for example, creating the base of a character's personality. ESTJ, or whatever, is much more descriptive than just "likes routine."
instrumentation + harmony + rhythm + etc. = musical genre
Just replace with letters and then equal to type.
(being characteristically INTP here, spontaneously being absorbed in this subject and breaking down the mechanics of how it works until something else catches my attention)
