But the test was developed in the 1940s based off the untested theories of an outdated analytical psychologist named Carl Jung,
The author writes that as if the name isn't widely known. It is also up for discussion whether the theories of these guys are outdated. As styles come, go and come back again. I have no use for the anti-Christian C.G.Jung, but saying he is an "outdated analytical psychologist named Carl Jung" is like saying the author is an "archaic playwright named William Shakespeare."

I wouldn’t even call Carl Jung “anti-Christian.” He had beliefs which conflicted with Christianity, but he did not blame terrible things on Christianity, or find it on the whole to be more harmful to the human race than any organic substitute would be. In fact, he probably took some of the anti-Christian edges off of Freudian psychology and made much of it useful to Christianity. For instance: Freud blamed Christian “repression” for subconscious motivations; minus that bias, the subconscious can be seen as the mechanism for concupiscence.
