The online ones are only so accurate. But, dude, check out my profile. I have a list of words on there that describe my type (ENTJ) ... you know me well enough, tell me whether or not you think they apply 
@Classy Canuck,

Posted: 2/9/2006 3:15:48 PM | Yam--I don't know about you being self-centered or narcisistic, but most of it does fit--but not all of them fit all of the time. You've shown some of those traits (as much as I can tell from a silly forum), but maybe not to the extent that you think. You have a more playful attitude than you give yourself credit for.
Here's something from the INFJ that is true about me:
They are, in fact, sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely interested in people -- a product of the Feeling function they most readily show to the world. On the contrary, INFJs are true introverts, who can only be emotionally intimate and fulfilled with a chosen few from among their long-term friends, family, or obvious "soul mates." While instinctively courting the personal and organizational demands continually made upon them by others, at intervals INFJs will suddenly withdraw into themselves, sometimes shutting out even their intimates. This apparent paradox is a necessary escape valve for them, providing both time to rebuild their depleted resources and a filter to prevent the emotional overload to which they are so susceptible as inherent "givers." As a pattern of behavior, it is perhaps the most confusing aspect of the enigmatic INFJ character to outsiders, and hence the most often misunderstood -- particularly by those who have little experience with this rare type.
My friends and family members pretty much understand that I'll disappear for a while and not contact them--just because I need to refuel. The EX, however, never understood the distance. The poor girl never understood that it had nothing to do with her. Ah well. That's the way it goes.
This is also true, since I've always had a knack for either making someone feel really good about themselves or creating a bitter enemy with as few words as possible:
Due in part to the unique perspective produced by this alternation between detachment and involvement in the lives of the people around them, INFJs may well have the clearest insights of all the types into the motivations of others, for good and for evil.
What's most important about the potrait of an INFJ to me is the struggle between idealism and practicality. Anyone who has read my posts for the past few months knows that I b*tch about people not being practical and then I sometimes get drawn into mental gymnastic idealistic arguments. They're fun to think about, but serve little purpose in resolving a darn thing.

Posted: 2/9/2006 10:31:56 PM | I've taken this test many times, I even did the full one while in Uni so I know it's accurate. I'm a ENTJ. Here's a snippet I found funny.
ENTJs are decisive. They see what needs to be done, and frequently assign roles to their fellows. Few other types can equal their ability to remain resolute in conflict, sending the valiant (and often leading the charge) into the mouth of hell. When challenged, the ENTJ may by reflex become argumentative. Alternatively (s)he may unleash an icy gaze that serves notice: the ENTJ is not one to be trifled with.
It lies! | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 12:12:25 AM | INFP thats me, and the same everytime i have taken it ... years n years apart. In my research I have found it to be amazingly accurate.
First time i took it ... many years ago. Got the test from a book ' Please Understand Me' Great book by the way and the test, just a tool in learning more about another person and gain an understanding as to where they are comming from. Not the one and only tool, for sure. But one of many, Me, I trust my intuition as another tool, past experience as another.
As I researched into it's validity I came across a study where 10 young adults who had each
hitchhiked crosscountry were tested and all came up as INFP's ...what? and only 1% of population being INFP's ... this in fact blew me away simply because I too in my youth ventured out to see the states .... hitchhiking! no less.
Way cool, Im sold | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 2:22:07 AM | I'm an enigma wrapped in the dichotomy of an illusion of irony in juxtaposition.
Or so it says
I ordered my tune up kit online, new gaskets, fuel line, accelerator pump, o rings etc. I'll be as good as you (or was that new?)
People get Jesus confused with me alot, must just piss him right off.
So I've decided that when crucified I'll want our president and the one in charge of vice to either side of me so as to allow me to die between two thieves.
Somewhere in the small print of my evaluation was a sentence nearly unintelligible, it said god doesn't believe in me. Imagine my chagrin. I'm done with these tests, I don't even understand these words. | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 10:26:06 AM | | I am an INTP and my ex is an INTJ. There is HUGE difference between the xxxP's and the xxxJ's, the J's see things as black or white, good or evil, all or nothing, and the P's see the world in infinite shades of gray. | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 10:45:57 AM | | As an afterthought, the accuracy of the tests lies in the truthfulness of the answers. If you answer the test truthfully, it's results will be accurate. Anyone can skew the test answering differently from the truth, which would beg one to wonder, if the test results didn't seem right were the questions answered honestly? Just a thought. | |

F vs T is very close to 50-50.
I seem to have a hard time getting along with S's, especially SJ's. Any kind of intimate conversation with a really strong SJ is like talking to a robotic alien life form. I'm sure they feel that I'm simlarly strange. :) | |

Posted: 2/18/2006 5:31:11 AM | Myers-Briggs is a flawed an ultimately amateurish attempt at shoehorning C.G.Jung's theoretical psychological types into some kind of pseudo-scientific new age 'astrology'...I have no faith in this blatant circular logic kind of test which asks the most mickey mouse questions in order to formulate half-baked and ultimately WORSE than astrological mumbo-jumbo.
