> What's the betting they're Js on the MBTI?

But this is good example of overusing the MBTI. I find it rather ironic that a person warning another for "ennea-police" is very judgemental and prejudiced himself. Before you hit the roof about that comment, just think about it:
I and someone else are telling overusing a typology system can be dangerous (here comes some reasons) because it can lead to prejudism, hasty conclusions of character, broken hearts and whatever.

Then you attack those opinions by making a hasty judgement and labeling it with an opinionated title. I could make a guess about your type based on that, but it would jumping to a conclusion, which usually is counterproductive.
