My main criticism is it gives the impression the traits are bimodal when they're actually more modal, giving people the impression we're more dislike than similar.

I seem to recall seeing an MBTI result that showed a location on a quadrant for pairs of attributes? So you could see if you were really closer to or further from the origin. That might help with the false binary impression.

I thought all MBTI tests give you scores for each axis.

It does. And then people refer to themselves by four letter, read abour description of types by 4 letter and completely ignore the scale in it.

I've seen people call themselves xNTJ or INFx.
