INTJ here.
Most of what he's saying is nonsense so I won't go there but I do want to make one point clear for those 7sagers studying hard for the LSAT. "The LSAT is bent towards those who are unimaginative" is absolute utter bullshit.
You need a lot of imagination for the LSAT. All the RC subject matter that you've never been exposed to, you need to imagine how these words on the page could describe something that makes sense and is real. For LR and the RRE questions, all the potential explanations of phenomenon that no one's ever told you, you need imagine their possibility. Or at least you need to be open and receptive to them when you encounter them in the answer choices.
Scientists are some of the most imaginative people in the world. What grand imagination it took for a scientist to realize that the force that pulls an apple from a tree is the exact same force that holds the Earth in orbit around the Sun. (Trivial to us now, but it wasn't always so.) Logical v. imaginative is a false dichotomy.
It's fun to play with astrology or the MBTI but realize that both are pseudo sciences that takes advantage of the Barnum or Forer effect: "the observation that individuals will give high accuracy ratings to descriptions of their personality that supposedly are tailored specifically for them, but are in fact vague and general enough to apply to a wide range of people."
Since he mentioned the top LSAT scorers that he knows, I'll counter with the top LSAT scorers that I know. They all have a firm grasp of logic and their ability to think critically enhances their intuition and judgment which helps them sense, feel, or perceive the right answers.
Rest assured that the LSAT is not bent towards any particular personality "type". Rather it's bent towards your mastery over the concepts we cover in our core curriculum and how much work you put in. So, study hard!
