Myers Briggs is the poster boy for pseudo science.
> But then I realized, who am I to dismiss the idea? I'm not an expert. Much smarter people than I (Dalio) believe in it.
This is an appeal to authority; you should stick to your original gut feeling. Dalio and the like make their money selling books and as such write what people want to hear. It’s Chicken Soup For The Soul for people with bachelor degrees.
