"Debunked" is probably overstating it, but Myers-Briggs has been shown to have fairly significant statistical deficiencies and its predictive claims are largely pseudoscientific. It's not complete garbage, but there are personality trait models like Big Five and HEXACO that are more robust and have more research behind them, but even those are not as strong predictors as pop management literature makes them out to be.

I never considered it to have any predictive meaning at all, so saying it doesn't seems to miss the whole point.
Predicting others' behavior on the basis of a generic quiz is a pretty silly expectation.
