    I agree that there are clear patterns that arise, but there is no scientific evidence to suggest that the axes chosen (aside from introversion/extroversion) map importantly onto the brain. You could just as easily pick any other personality traits to form other patterns.

      It’s not scientific. It fails in science the same way it fails in industry, through being too easy to game. They chose the axes to follow the Jungian psychology model, that’s why the words don’t mean much like their usual meaning

      Even introversion and extraversion don’t mean their usual meaning. Although the rules that start with E are usually more extraverted (in the conventional sense) than those which start with I.
