Despite controversies over validity, the instrument has demonstrated widespread influence since its adoption by the Educational Testing Service in 1962. It is estimated that 50 million people have taken the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator and that 10,000 businesses, 2,500 colleges and universities, and 200 government agencies in the United States use the MBTI.

I was firmly ENTP in my 20s, now in my 40s I'm none of them. I like to think I'm more balanced now that I don't fit any of these stereotypes, but who knows. It's silly anyways, just another way for ppl to try to make groupings of things

I'm also in my 40s, and I've flip-flopped between ISTP and INTP since my teens. I just took it again and today I'm INTP. Hooray for consistency, I guess....
