Although generally a skeptic regarding psychological tests (excuse me,
'instruments'), I must admit that having taken the Myers-Briggs three
times over ten years with nearly identical results each time, and
finding the type descriptions convincing, I am a believer in this
test, at least as a temperament indicator.  I recommend the following 
two texts for the curious or those interested in Jung-based psychology 
[forgive me if this is a repeat]:

"Gifts Differing". Isabel Briggs Myers. 1980. Consulting Psychologists
Press, Inc.  ISBN 0-89106-011-1 (paper ed.)

"Please Understand Me".  David Keirsey & Marilyn Bates. 1978. Prometheus
Nemesis Books. ISBN 0-9606954-0-0 (paper). [This is a set of observations
of cases in California by a clinician who uses the Myers-Briggs and Jungian
techniques, with a chapter specifically on mating, ie, how does the INTJ
make love, etc.].

Interesting stuff this.
