i think it works very well for the analysis of fictional characters, if nothing else because there are such a wealth of options (168 possible god tiers) which allows for more specificity. it's also useful in that it draws from classical sources (such as greek mythology and arthurian legend) so can be used to understand other media in that context.
that being said, it does not function the same for real life people as it does fictional characters. real people do not have a destined, set in stone classpect with deep significance! deciding your classpect in real life has more to do with establishing an identity for yourself (which is something that WILL change and adapt as you grow older)
likewise, the characters in homestuck who focus on their classpect are presented as fundamentally misunderstanding that their title is a goal to achieve. eridan ampora specifically defines himself as a "ruler of all things hopeful". he fails to see that being a "prince of hope" is something he can attain if he betters himself as a person, not a title bestowed to him for his inherent merit
i strongly agree that all personality systems are flawed. what's most important is to have fun and be yourself! classpecting doesn't have to be a "be all end all" for personality type or life destiny, just another tool in your toolbox for understanding yourself and the world around you
what makes classpecting so special is how open ended and up to interpretation it is
final note: homestuck contains ingenius world building and game mechanics. that being said, the narrative will never be sincere. nothing is serious in a world of irony so anything can be taken seriously if you choose to. art is up to interpretation!
