Poor science? I'm INTJ.
A lot of personality typing was created with arbitrary categories that made sense to their creators, and then science used to see how people fell into these categories. The enneagram system is another one created by people without a deep understanding of statistics. Such systems are useful, but don't express the actual fundamental personality grouping and differences very well.
I think the only personality typing system that used multivariate analysis to determine groupings of personality traits scientifically, and only then figure out what those groups mean, is the OCEAN/CANOE system otherwise known as Big 5.
Along OCEAN I am:
Openness to experience: very high
Conscientiousness: high
Extraversion: lowish
Agreeableness: neutral (higher when I was younger, and dropping)
Neuroticism: neutral (higher when I was younger, and dropping)
