I’ve heard people refer to Myers-Briggs as “male astrology,” but Myers and Briggs were in fact a mother/daughter team. (INTJ btw)

Design and software at Apple. Also into AI, philosophy of mind, ethics.

People call it male astrology because it is a pop science that holds a somewhat comparable berth of legitimacy with a similar ratio of men as the modern zodiac does with women.  

and astrology wasn’t invented by women? it began with the babylonians before Christ.

I understand that it’s holds a comparable berth to men as astrology for women. All the same I can imagine that Myers and Briggs themselves would find it perverse that it be characterized this way given that they invented it. Maybe.

Did not claim either that astrology was invented by women.

you didn’t 

but your analogy implied it 

I imagine myers briggs would be secretly delighted at being bro-manced for their ideas ignorant of gender //

Perhaps, and maybe I should have said more. Intention was to show that if one was surprised by their gender then one might want to check their biases. I find women are often undercredited  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
