I didn't realise it wasn't a thing anymore.

I know it's never been a good indicator of success or even cognitive abilities but it's still a thing that people try to measure.

It still is a thing, always will be. People are vastly differently skilled. The problem isnt that there are different abilities but that our centralized meat mill pushes them into categories. It doesnt make you better to have more skill in one area, it just means people should consider listening to you.

there are companies that still use myers-briggs personality tests for "compatibility"

Myers-Briggs is modern snake oil.

Meyers-Briggs is astrology with more steps

Yeah, that is accurate. Astrology pretending to be science.

IQ is a very good indicator of cognitive abilities. It’s a poor indicator of kindness, morality, or honesty.
