MBTI doesn't tell us much about what people really *are* like. But it does  
tell us something about how they see themselves. Unlike astrological  
signs, these MBTI profiles are self-selected, and there are quite  
substantial differences between the different profiles.

Knowing how people see themselves can be interesting. It's certainly not  
surprising that many people working on Wikipedia view themselves as  
centered around logic and rational argument. It would be disturbing if it  
was any other way.
