Is it understanding or protecting your self? I know when I put my energy into analysing my T it is a way of diverting attention away from what they are saying. This is not a bad thing. I have noticed it gives the negative side of my thinking a great opportunity to kick the c#$% out of me.
My 10 cents worth on your T's joke about money is he likes you. He likes you enough to be familiar with you. In Australia we call this taking the p... It is a great sign of affection and bonding. He trusts you enough to be rude!! Of course if he crosses the line then let him know.
About all these tests. I think they help us understand the colour glasses we wear. We all wear some coloured glasses. Somethings will naturally make sense to us and somethings will just not compute.
Knowing your T's MBTI could help you communicate with him but it is his job to look after the process of communication ~ work out what helps you say what you need to say. He will listen. And he will do his best to help you understand and feel ok about what is going to happen next. I feel this because he knows you well enough to know what is important to you.
