One of the many things I learned from Stranger in a Strange Land is that while astrology lacks the objectivity, repeatability, etc. that would make it a science, a perceptive person can use its categories to understand people better. Myers-Briggs and Five Factor Theory appear to be like that.

Yes, these things are tools for looking at people. Or they can be, if you look at them that way. The same way that say the Tarot can be used to look at an issue in a different way.

Tools. They're all around.
