DMIT vs MBTI

MBTI sorts people into sixteen types from how they answer a questionnaire. Dermatoglyphic analysis reads a physical pattern that formed before birth. The practical difference shows up over time: one can shift with your mood on the day, the other cannot.

They are not measuring the same thing
