I would strongly disagree with pretty much everything you said here.
People tend to not know themselves, not care about whether they know themselves, and thus make stupid life decisions.
Most people don't even wonder whether they know themselves or not, they just live their lives.
How others see us is obviously misguided, because everybody has their own cognitive fogs around themselves, so they filter what they see through the lens of their own minds. And the point of such things like MBTI and psychotherapy, is to help folks blow that fog away and actually start to think in an insightful and meaningful way about themselves.
No tool for self-improvement is unserious or unneeded.
(Now of course, the MBTI test here isn't a thing made for such things, it's more of a fun fact you can throw at your friends, but the overall idea of MBTI and the personalities theory developed by Jung is a pretty serious thing)
I don't know how about you, but I'm pretty much the same person on MB and in real life. Just minus the facial expressions and minus the face-to-face intimacy/naturalness of human contact.
Oh, and I don't mean to be aggressive or anything (it's hard to express intention through the internet), I'm just making some points for a discussion
