Exactly the same argument (minus the gods...I think) could be made for Chinese birth years.
And those take 12 years to cycle.
So the theoretical observations of how personality types are grouped cannot both be right. They can, however, both be wrong.
And if personality types aren't grouped at all (which seems to me most likely, anyway) how did this pervasive belief that they *are* arise? Why would people group them chronologically instead of, say, geologically (if you're born over shale you're oily; if you're born over limestone, you're base; if you're born over granite, you're stubborn...) or geographically (if you're born by a river, you're energetic, if you're born on a mountain, you're ambitious...)

Why chronology? No idea.
