What I am suggesting is that something that may not seem to come from God's word but doesn't contradict God's, which may even make it in harmony with God's word, can indeed help people.

If it is not contradicting God's word, can we so easily label it "worldly" and not of God?
For instance, the study of personality types may not be an exact "science" but it is fairly "right on target" and does quite a bit to help people understand why they have difficulties with different people and understand themselves as well. This does not take away from God's word which states how we are to treat each other, regardless of personality types.
A good understanding helps us all deal with the "idiots" who surround us. Oh, BTW, we ALL are an "idiot" in someone else's eyes.
