yeah MBTI can appear to be inaccurate and have fallacies (which i'm sure it probably does!) until you really start to break down the cognitive functions. As with any system, you'd need to immerse yourself in it to properly understand it. As with you and astrology. It's much deeper than the 4 letters you see in your "ENTP"
I am more open to possibilities and the unknown/abstract by nature. So I will take a new system and run with it until I get bored of it. It can be borderline obsession. Astrology was that way for a few years when I studied it, but it got too complicated to keep my interest. Lately it's been MBTI, and I started learning more about it after talking with Chaos. And it's NOT what most people think. Each letter in your 4 letter combination reflects a cognitive function as described by Carl Jung (yo, I really hope you're not talking smack about one of the world's most renowned psychologists, alpha360!!! ) The way you process information and relay information back to the world goes through those 4 functions, IN THAT ORDER. Think of it more as a functional analysis of the way your mind works, rather than a "personality type"
And sure, I definitely agree that N/S and I/E etc. are examples of yin yang, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they're copycats. If you're familiar with the principle of gender, you'll see that there is a duality in everything. It's a construct of the physical universe we live in. It's not one copying from another.
You brought up Chaos' detection skill, but that itself can be explained as a manifestation of Ti Ne, which are his primary cognitive functions. Well developed INTP's are very much like this. Shannon is a good example of a well developed INTP, and his skill of detection can easily be seen by his insane precision in how to make subs that will affect people safely.

At the end of the day, these systems are in place for understanding the world. You're free to use whichever one you want, and you're free to be skeptical about those that you don't use.
but if it's something you're open to explore, I'd recommend taking the MBTI test in a couple different websites, and see if you test out as ENTP on all of them. The reason being that you can understand how your brain processes information. Or not, it's up to you XD
