Preferably your Myers-Brigg personality type if you know it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator)
I'm an ISTJ.
From the information presented, I'm pretty sure I would be categorized as an INFJ. Possibly INSJ; I'm pretty positive on the other three categories.
There was a time when I could be solidly classified by that, but I don't think that's possible anymore. I fall half-way between most of the factors. :)
I typically get INFJ, which seems like it's fairly accurate for me.
ISTP when I took it over summer.

I'm an ISTP, apparently.
relative to other types, I'm not that rare.
Yet I haven't run into many ISTJ's on the intarwebs >_<;

What tests are you guys using? The one I used (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp) seemed a bit unprofessional.
It said I was INTJ, but I'd like to take one where there aren't misspellings/grammar errors in the questions. :)
Did the test Sidoh linked, and it looks like I was right:

Though, the questions seemed pretty redundant. "You like spending your leisure time partying." "You like spending your leisure time by yourself." It all sorta seemed like opposites. I don't really trust it's results, in that regard. :P I want to know what test while1 took.
What I think is amazing is this:
http://www.humanmetrics.com/vocation/JCI.asp?EI=-100&SN=-38&TF=-62&JP=0.6
Social work, psychology/counseling, design and science are all things I have interest in going to school for. I'm a bit surprised by "Law" being on there, though.

The accuracy of those results following my test surprised me as well.
It listed something like scientist, IT, programmer, educator. The corporate lawyer thing was on there as well. It also amused me. :)
After reading the descriptions of each of the types, I think it pretty accurately describes me. I'm definitely I, I'm pretty sure I'm an N (S is appealing too, but I tend to rely on theory/abstract observations more than concrete stuff), and I'm definitely an "T". I'm not so sure about the "J". The wikipedia blurb on that one wasn't as clear as it was for the others (because I think its meaning depends on the values for the previous three, maybe?), but "NJ" sounded reasonably accurate.
while1, mind posting the URL to the test you took?

Choose the short test or jung+enneagram under Jung Tests. I've taken the both achieved the same result.
Extroverted (E) 50% Introverted (I) 50%
Intuitive (N) 52.63% Sensing (S) 47.37%
Thinking (T) 55.88% Feeling (F) 44.12%
Perceiving (P) 60.61% Judging (J) 39.39%
INTP, though I'm pretty much down the middle...
ENTP
Edit:

QuoteThe Visionary
As an ENTP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things rationally and logically.
With Extraverted Intuition dominating their personality, the ENTP's primary interest in life is understanding the world that they live in. They are constantly absorbing ideas and images about the situations they are presented in their lives. Using their intuition to process this information, they are usually extremely quick and accurate in their ability to size up a situation. With the exception of their ENFP cousin, the ENTP has a deeper understanding of their environment than any of the other types.
This ability to intuitively understand people and situations puts the ENTP at a distinct advantage in their lives. They generally understand things quickly and with great depth. Accordingly, they are quite flexible and adapt well to a wide range of tasks. They are good at most anything that interests them. As they grow and further develop their intuitive abilities and insights, they become very aware of possibilities, and this makes them quite resourceful when solving problems.
ENTPs are idea people. Their perceptive abilities cause them to see possibilities everywhere. They get excited and enthusiastic about their ideas, and are able to spread their enthusiasm to others. In this way, they get the support that they need to fulfill their visions.
ENTPs are less interested in developing plans of actions or making decisions than they are in generating possibilities and ideas. Following through on the implementation of an idea is usually a chore to the ENTP. For some ENTPs, this results in the habit of never finishing what they start. The ENTP who has not developed their Thinking process will have problems with jumping enthusiastically from idea to idea, without following through on their plans. The ENTP needs to take care to think through their ideas fully in order to take advantage of them.
The ENTP's auxiliary process of Introverted Thinking drives their decision making process. Although the ENTP is more interested in absorbing information than in making decisions, they are quite rational and logical in reaching conclusions. When they apply Thinking to their Intuitive perceptions, the outcome can be very powerful indeed. A well-developed ENTP is extremely visionary, inventive, and enterprising.
ENTPs are fluent conversationalists, mentally quick, and enjoy verbal sparring with others. They love to debate issues, and may even switch sides sometimes just for the love of the debate. When they express their underlying principles, however, they may feel awkward and speak abruptly and intensely.
The ENTP personality type is sometimes referred to the "Lawyer" type. The ENTP "lawyer" quickly and accurately understands a situation, and objectively and logically acts upon the situation. Their Thinking side makes their actions and decisions based on an objective list of rules or laws. If the ENTP was defending someone who had actually committed a crime, they are likely to take advantage of quirks in the law that will get their client off the hook. If they were to actually win the case, they would see their actions as completely fair and proper to the situation, because their actions were lawful. The guilt or innocence of their client would not be as relevant. If this type of reasoning goes uncompletely unchecked by the ENTP, it could result in a character that is perceived by others as unethical or even dishonest. The ENTP, who does not naturally consider the more personal or human element in decision making, should take care to notice the subjective, personal side of situations. This is a potential problem are for ENTPs. Although their logical abilities lend strength and purpose to the ENTP, they may also isolate them from their feelings and from other people.
The least developed area for the ENTP is the Sensing-Feeling arena. If the Sensing areas are neglected, the ENTP may tend to not take care of details in their life. If the Feeling part of themself is neglected, the ENTP may not value other people's input enough, or may become overly harsh and aggressive.
Under stress, the ENTP may lose their ability to generate possibilities, and become obsessed with minor details. These details may seem to be extremely important to the ENTP, but in reality are usually not important to the big picture.
In general, ENTPs are upbeat visionaries. They highly value knowledge, and spend much of their lives seeking a higher understanding. They live in the world of possibilities, and become excited about concepts, challenges and difficulties. When presented with a problem, they're good at improvising and quickly come up with a creative solution. Creative, clever, curious, and theoretical, ENTPs have a broad range of possibilities in their lives.
That's actually surprisingly accurate.
I think confirmation bias is pretty cool.

If that's referring to me, most of what's in that is honestly accurate. Some of it isn't spot on but the general theme describes me.
