The place I come across MBTI the most is on Korean variety shows/idol content. They used to talk about how their personalities were determined by blood type. I get email alerts when an MBTI thread gets big on Quora, although I’ve never posted there I can’t help but click on them. People have a hard time dealing with INTPs and god forbid they are courting an INFP. Fun fluff.
Hm. This person seems to differ when they say, "it's really really fun ... you know it's accurate."
OK MBTI is 100% real and listening to ISFJs talk is 100% torture. If we’re just posting random videos of people talking about their MBTI at least can we use celebrity INFPs??? [english subtitles available]
Anyway, are people's issues with MBTI that they feel the particular test and variables measured themselves are flawed, that the application of the test results are flawed, or that they think the concept of a personality type itself is flawed?
My problem is when people take it too seriously, then it becomes a bit like horoscopes.
It's a useful and entertaining heuristic maybe, but it's pseudo-science with fundamental flaws. One of those is with border cases. Another is with repeatability. I test INTP sometimes, INFP other times. Depending on how I answer one question, I can either end up with Ti, Ne, Si and Fe, or Fi, Ne, Si, Te: half of the cognitive functions change.

There is great demand among managent idiots for pseudoscientific BS to justify their existence.
Personally I find Natural Linguistic Programming more annoying. Maybe because MBTI comes with the sweet pill that
