Telling people your 'personality type' or just including it in a social or dating profile

I know of personality types but don't know anything about what mine is.

If you know what yours it definitely, do you tell people what your is as a point of conversation, or do you include it in any social media or dating site profiles you might have? Do you directly pick/choose people to engage with socially and/or romantically based on their personality type and how it's perceived to be 'compatible' (or not) to yours?

ie. tonight a girlfriend who's bi-curious showed me a dating site profile of a woman who approached her and this person prominently displays her personality type 'INFJ-T' right at the top of the profile. My girlfriend found this really intimidating and quite annoyingly 'control freaky' like.

I tell others about my personality type, which is an INFJ, but my connections/ friendships aren't limited by it. For me, It's a tool I've used, since finding out, to better myself because I now understand myself. I do think it would be pertinent on a dating app ect, if I was in need of one, but I would also include astrological signs. I'm fascinated by stuff like that so perhaps I'm different.

Pisceans like me have a reputation for being able to take on the personality types of people we are in the company of. I can be extroverted and very animated one moment and shy and retiring the next. My most frequent persona is quiet, thoughtful, and sympathetic.

I am usually the one who allows the other tor be the center of attraction. I prefer listening more than talking and being the supportive "someone to lean on" type of person.

We talk about it sometimes with friends only if everyone is interested but I'd never stick it on my forehead like that, it's lame and way too self explanatory and why should I bother to read about someone else's traits when they don't even matter slightly to me yet

Personality type doesnt seem to matter

Even if I knew how to describe my personality in words, I wouldn't want to restrict my circle to people who are similar to me. That wouldn't be much fun at all.
