Dalio actually made his money by operaring as he preached. Based on that we can say it did not cause critical impediment to his progress. That does not validate Meyers-Briggs. Lots of succesful leaders have loved all sort of pseudoscience.

Amusingly enough, most psychology academics would be in violent agreement with you on that.

This is an appeal to authority; you should stick to your original gut feeling. Dalio and the like make their money selling books and as such write what people want to hear. It’s Chicken Soup For The Soul for people with bachelor degrees.
