๐งต Is MBTI somewhat useful and valid or it's just another astrology?

Of course it's not astrology. The results are based on answers you provide, so it's obviously gives some real information about your personality.
The problem is that the description of each of the 16 types is assuming some stereotyped person that always answers in a very polarized way on each of the 4 axes, whereas most people score near the middle of some or all of the axes.

What precisely is the difference between MBTI and psychology more generally?
I'm sure MBTIs have a reasonably high replication rate and they may correlate to some neuronal structure.

MBTI hasn't been used in Psychology for decades now. It has no scientific basis. The MMPI-2 is used instead.

Does this statement even have any meaning? MBTI results correlate with "big five" results, which nobody hates on. That itself was a scientific study. The big five personality test is claimed to have a "scientific basis" whatever that means. So at the very least MBTI is an imperfect predictor of big five personality test results.

In our corporate state, science is whatever is called science by corporate executives. Don't ask further questions. MBTI isn't scientific but the big five is. It simply is.

The truth is most of psychology is built on shoddy data and sloppy statistics. The people who went into academic psychology are often but not always the people who want to LARP as actual scientists but aren't smart enough for real STEM.

It's incredibly difficult to study the mind scientifically the same way a neurologist studies the brain. It is the most complex structure in the universe, after all.
The reproducibility crisis is just a testament to this fact
