Because you have a feeling preference as opposed to a thinking preference, and logic may not be as important to you as interpersonal concerns.

Some people, on the other hand, have no introspective interest at all and could not care less about any aids to understanding themselves better.

PS - I first took the MBTI in my early 30's. I last took it in 2006, and several times in between. I'm an ENTP every time.

My problem is when the test is used for evaluations of employment or rankings in a position. Much like ones DNA profile has the potential of abuse.

I guess also taking a test where you answer questions without supervision, one may answer to the test. Not be totally truthful subconsciously or intended. Be different if evaluated by others or even have someone who knows you fill it out with their opinions of you.
