I don't know the laws over there, but I guess it is legal. The MMPI is used a lot, even outside psychopathology. It's not illegal to do bad psychdiagnostics.

Well, the point is that it doesn't matter whether you think it matches you. If you were a good judge on your own personality, the company would just ask you and not pay a lot of money for a professional test, wouldn't it? I don't know the reliability of the MBTI but I suspect it's rather high, otherwise any company would be insane to use it. That means, unless the test wasn't correctly done or scored wrong, there's a good chance it's a rather good description of your personality, as far as the MBTI can describe any personality good. The problem is that the MBTI may use dimensions that are usefull for companies, but it doesn't use the "real" dimensions that constitute personality. That means that the MBTI will always tend to ignore aspects of personality that may or may not influence behaviour.
