I feel you have to take it with a grain of salt. Understand that the 16 types are comprised of 4 binary pairs of traits on which you can score anywhere on a continuum for each, indicating that you are strong, medium, or weak on each of those traits, though the 16 types don't recognize such subtleties. And then there is the problem of whether its even valid to consider one trait to be binary to another. Still, I find it to be a useful desciptive shorthand of personality to use informally. Thanks for the links.

ENFP Libra - It has the same fascination about personality that horoscopes do. It's entertaining, nothing life changing.
