I believe the Myers-Briggs is based on Jung's model.... a theory not proven and indeed possibly not provable or disprovable (by definition unscientific).

I find the Myers-Briggs' types useful as abstract points of reference. All of us can relate to the concepts in some way even if no person is exactly one type. Think of Plato's forms.
The terms we have for these concepts further provide a communication currency so we can tell each other how we experience ourselves and the world.
