<i>&gt; It&#x27;s tough to think about how we can reduce personality to four axes that are immutable as you grow and change.</i><p>I don&#x27;t think that jives with MBTI.  Even the harshest critics of MBTI would acknowledge that MBTI doesn&#x27;t preclude plasticity and &quot;type development.&quot; I think MBTI just says that you have a dominant proclivity along certain axes.  You can re-take the test at different lags to test the hypothesis for yourself.
