From Vox.com : The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is probably the most widely used personality test in the world. An  estimated  2 million people   take it annually, at the bequest of corporate HR departments, colleges, and even government agencies.  The company  that makes and markets the test makes somewhere  around $20 million  each year. The only problem? The test is completely meaningless. "There's just no evidence behind it," says Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania who's  written about the shortcomings of the Myers-Briggs  previously. " The characteristics measured by the test  have almost no predictive power  on how happy you'll be in a situation, how you'll perform at your job, or how happy you'll be in your marriage."

I am reading about enneagrams which seem to be a Myers Briggs-type personality type system. I was pointed to the book: The Nine Ways of Working by Michael J. Goldberg which looks at how people can work better if they understand the stories that we tell ourselves about who we are and how we function. This made me wonder what an enneagram was and came across the following descriptions as well as a brief test to see what type I might be.
