10 Commandments of Myers-Briggs

1. There is no "bad type." No type is better than another. 

2. "Sensing" is not synonymous with "stupid" or "shallow." 

3. Your type is not justification for (bad) behavior. 

4. Your personality is innate. It does not change upon the day or situation. 

5. The letters that make up your type are a reflection of your cognitive functions. Cognitive functions are the real heart of Myers-Briggs. 

6. Allow people to be bigger and deeper than their types. With that, remember you can have relationships with someone of any type. 

7. Everybody has tendencies that are both extroverted and introverted, intuitive and sensing, thinking and feeling, and judging and perceiving. Of course nobody is all of just one thing. People simply do not work that way. (On that note, people can be very logical and be a Feeler, or can be very sentimental and be a Thinker. Hence, cognitive functions.) 

8. It is one thing to be torn about your type in the beginning (e.g., ENxP, xSTJ, etc.), but these are not real types. As each personality is unique, one cognitive function stack will better describe you over another. Most types are even just one letter different have dramatically different values and thought processes. 

9. People of the same type can and will be quite different. Maturity, life experiences, and general personal development will tweak and grow them. Well-rounded people will act well-rounded.

10. The whole system is to recognize your strengths and your weaknesses in order to grow your strengths and overcome your shortcomings.
