It's super effective?
Because yes.
As a quick rundown of what the MBTI is, it's a psychological test that attempts to classify individual personalities in terms of four cognitive functions -- sensing, thinking, feeling, and intuition, each of which have extroverted (focused on the outside world) and introverted (focused towards yourself) variations. Depending on one's preferences for each of the resulting eight types of cognitive functions, a person is assigned to one of 16 personality types of the following form:
WXYZ
Where W = E or I for Extroversion or Introversion, X = S or N for Sensing or Intuition, Y = T or F for Thinking or Feeling, and J or P for Judging or Perceiving
The Judging or Perceiving question is partly a question of how organized you tend to be. If you like to be more structured about things and not leave any potential loose ends, you're probably Judging. Conversely, if you're a little more flexible about your plans and like to keep your options open, you're probably Perceiving. There does seem to be more to it than that, but it's kind of complicated and I don't fully understand it myself.
For the sake of simplicity, I won't go into any further detail than that.
If you're interested in the theory behind the MBTI, please consult Dr. Google.
Anyway, here's a website with decent descriptions of all 16 types for reference:

I've taken various MBTI tests over the years just out of sheer boredom (including the one I have linked above) and I've consistently scored as an INFJ. I suspect I may be more along the lines of INXJ (the X simply means that my preference for thinking vs feeling is minimal or nonexistent) due to my love of all things math and logic, but I could just be overthinking things. I tend to do that a lot... xD
