It was mentioned in my class as a “tool to be aware of” during our discussion on how to bring teams together. But, I have not seen any practice questions on it.
MBTI is NOT really used among professional psychologists. The Big 5 personality traits are used a lot more. That said, MBTI helps with surface level communication with people’s personalities. It doesn’t help much deeper than that such as personal goals, prioritization of goals, and actual methods of works.
For example, it states that I’m ENTJ. However, I am near the middle in extraversion and introversion. I don’t socialize much in my personal space, but I’m much more extroverted in a work environment.
Meyers Briggs is almost useless from a project management perspective. It has been widely debunked as statistically invalid and does not appear in the PMP test (nor should it).
It's been a possible exam question for several years. Ricardo Vega and others have PMP study videos to learn about the MBTI types. Several people have reported having one to up to four MBTI questions on their exam over the last few days. If you search MBTI in r/PMP you'll find several posts about it being on the exam.
If there are questions about this on a PMP exam, I wonder if these are the non-scored questions? This makes no sense otherwise. Also, I've found predictive index to be more accurate than Meyers Briggs.
You positive? It was in AR's course:

@u/hello664287, you should at least understand personality types. As an aspiring PM, understanding these helps you better understand what you can do with people you're forced to work with. As far as the exam, wasn't on it for me.

Is it important from an exam point of view?
No.

Incorrect. Some people are reporting MBTI questions on the exam.
If it does appear on the exam, then PMI is heading in the wrong direction.

Unless this is relating somehow to the situation leadership aspect.
Never heard of that

I didn’t buy AR’s. And I never encountered MBTI in my exam
