MBTI is descriptive. Horoscopes are predictive. They're completely different.
>no different
Lol. You are retarded. I'm sceptic when it comes to Myers-Briggs but you are retarded if you think there is no difference.
What is Barnum effect, baby don't hurt me
>Barnum effect
What does that have to do with the MBTI?
Again, Myers-Briggs types are DESCRIPTIVE, all they do is pick four traits, and break the space they make into 16 groups.
>What does that have to do with the MBTI?
Every type comes with a overly-positive and vague description of the combination of functions. Based on this theory, i shoud be an INTJ, INTP, ENTP, ISTP, INFP and ISTP. And not because i say so. I scored these and guess what: all the description of these types fits in one way or another with my personality!
How's that not barnum effect?
Also: pollyannaism.
Probably because they were born Cancer under a waning moon

Some pseudos are more scientific than others so really it depends what you're talking about.
I seriously looked into astrology once because I figured whether you were born in winter or summer would have a significant effect on early nurturing and psychological development.

Or maybe because the standardized school year leads to kids starting their formal education with up to a year's difference in development.
>born in 1st quarter
