I'm only talking about myers briggs here, but I'm really confused about why you say the tests seem to work.

One of the main criticisms of MBTI is actually its lack of reliability - that is, its lack of consistency from test to test. MBTI in general is rubbish and when I talk about personality tests or correlations, it's always Big Five or some other decent test.
