Though this test appears to have pretty low test-retest reliability so I wouldn't dwell too much on it.

Exactly. Why post it? The data is very close to meaningless.

Because it's not entirely meaningless. Given how the results look like, even with low reliability it would not differ that drastically if the same test was repeated few weeks later. Maybe it wouldn't be 42% again but this category would likely still be over represented.

From your source:

So if you retake the test after only a five-week gap, there's around a 50% chance that you will fall into a different personality category compared to the first time you took the test.

MBTI is harmful if taken seriously IMO.

    is still vastly overrepresented compared to the 2% in the general population

    You're not thinking about how the 2% statistic itself is likely wrong. Yes, it will still probably be overrepresented because of the fact introverts have a higher average IQ, and the IQ testing post I made a while back showed this community (or communities like it) have a higher average IQ.

    What you're missing is the fact that MBTI itself has an unreliable foundation, and will have unreliable statistics related to it. Read about Carl Jung and his "collective unconscious" it's absolutely ridiculous. It is harmful overall if taken seriously.
