I have a friend. She's 18, just graduated from high school.
Very lost. Bi-polar, or so she says...
She is a beautiful woman, inside and.. well... drop dead gorgeous.
She plays the dingy/ditsy roll well, as if she was taught to be that way. She also occasionally drops it and blinds me with brilliance.
She doesn't express herself well when speaking, but is a good poet, getting better with practice. She has a lot of depth, but only lets it out on paper.
I wish I'd taken a personality test at her age. I firmly believe it would help her if she were to take one now.
So, what's a very accurate and free test that I can send her?
Thanks!

Not on topic for the thread, but anyway I did the test just then and got:
Introverted (I) 73.53% Extroverted (E) 26.47%
Intuitive (N) 65.71% Sensing (S) 34.29%
Thinking (T) 74.29% Feeling (F) 25.71%
Perceiving (P) 72.97% Judging (J) 27.03%

I've alwasy favored this test: http://humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp
although it has been... fabulously wrong on occasion.

I have to agree file cabinet. I thought that I was INFJ for years, until I actually invested in the MBTI II, with an administer. My results were INTP, but I then had the DISC administered, with the same results.
I have read that the MBTI II is not accurate either, so I guess without doing some serious introspection and self-analysis, one may never know their true type. I have been open to considering myself a plethora of types. However, I know without a doubt that I can eliminate SJ types. I could be INFJ, ESTP, ISTP or ENTP. For now, I am comfortable with realizing that I am INTP.

I have sat the humanmetrics one a few times ... a few years ago I scored ENFP ... then a year or so later INFP ... then a year or so later INTP ... and any other test since then INTP. *shrug*

The tests are a starting point. I cannot really take most of these without skewing the results to nearly 100% INTP. But I've thought a lot about the preferences and can usually tell what the questions are asking.
I find the descriptions in books like "Please Understand Me" and others to be more useful. Starting with the test outcome, then moving to variations has helped me realize that my biases where affecting the tests in the beginning. For example, I was raised to equate Introversion as a negative (anti-social). So the first couple times I tested as an Extravert, which is totally wrong.
It's all part of understanding, and as far as I'm concerned, both the tests and the descriptions provide food for thought. (See, I told you I was an INTP ;) )
