Several people I know have said Myers-Briggs is surprisingly accurate for them but I don't know if they've done anything with that information

I've tried it and I'm not sure what surprisingly accurate would mean as the questions were precisely of the sort you knew what they were asking for. It seems it could be useful for finding like minded people with the same four letter label though.

The Myers-Briggs test comes along with a theory of how the four axes interact with each other. Those interactions can be accurate or inaccurate.
