How much weight do you think Egram personality types carry in the definition of Predjudice?

Meaning, (i'll use myself as an example) I've never been known to mesh well with 2w1s for reasons paticular of the 2w1's personality. If I meet a 2w1 , speculating that i can definately identify h/her as a 2w1, and I immediately know to not befriend h/her because of h/her Egram personality type, would that make me predjudice? thats a scary thought.
or would it be that im using the Egram to know i do not prefer this personality type in my life so therefore, why not save myself the hassel?
I also never mesh well (to say the least) with other 6w7s but we won't go there just yet cuz the question, "am i prejudice against myself?" could get even scarier.

My forever too vague to be useful buddy, Webster, defines predjudice as: An unwarranted bias; prepossession; detriment; injury

Would a bias toward one's Egram personality type be considered unwarranted, unjust and predjudice? just as a bias towards one's religion, nationality, sexual orientation, etc. is predjudice and down-right ignorant.

can anyone make sense out of the sense i think i've stopped making?
