I used to be INTJ before the breakdown 5 years ago but now I am ISTJ.

T1 didn't test me or bring it up, neither did T2; I did myself to help resolve something in my therapy.
T2 (who teaches Psych & is involved in public programs) said that one of the good things about MBTI is that its results essentially
do not change as people go through the events of their lives. Not to say that someone couldn't be close to the N/S delineation from the start and so identify more with N at some point and S at another.
It's certainly widely used. She commented that the only more reliable tool today is some 200+ question form (I forget the name of it) that's used for forensic purposes only.
I had a lot of questions about both tests, & I appreciated that she spent some time telling me about them. To me, tremendously interesting.
