I am ISTJ and it did seem to get somewhere near to me.
But some I dithered over when I am generally very positive with these sort of trick-cyclist questions and skip through them quickly.
22% 38% 38% 11% if that means anything

Looks like I'm normal, at least by USSR standards.

For the first test 'Are you predisposed to depression'. I got this result: " Your points: 52. A normal result is 15 to 65 points.
Your score is in the upper half of the range of normal values. This is a very good result. In the current situation, you obviously are not facing depression and you do not need to visit a therapist. There are no special recommendations for you there. Keep living the same way, and everything will be OK! "Looks like I'm a well balanced happy soul then.

And for the second test:
"Your result is considered normal. You appear to have no predisposition to schizophrenia, as well as other psychiatric disorders. Most likely, you are satisfied with your current lifestyle, you rarely are subject to depression and quite resistant to stress, and you are not affected by sudden changes in your mood. Just keep on your lifestyle, and schizophrenia will stay away from you."
I do wonder if these tests could pan out differently depending on what a person is going through in their lives at that particular time. I imagine so.

The following test takes a little time but I am assured by a couple of people whose background is in this field that there is some accuracy in it. One of them put me on to it and it does have a serious basis rather than just for amusement. It is connected to something called the MBTI profile - Meyers Briggs Type Indicator - "The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an introspective self-report questionnaire with the purpose of indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world around them and make decisions" and based on a theory by Carl Jung (a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers%E2%80%93Briggs_Type_IndicatorMy results were reasonably accurate as far as I perceive myself. The results come in the form of 4 letters and there are 16 personality types. The letters describe which permutations you fall into. There is also an added letter which I've not quite yet discovered an explanation for but I believe to be just a sub-category of the main categories, it all is a rather large subject of which I've only scratched the surface. I fall into the most common of all types, a type which apparently makes up 13% of us. How someone came to that figure I've no idea, nor how accurate it may be. Anyway, I am an ISTJ-A, commonly called a Logistician. A description of me goes something like this - I – Introversion preferred to extroversion: ISTJs tend to be quiet and reserved. They generally prefer interacting with a few close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances, and they expend energy in social situations (whereas extroverts gain energy). S – Sensing preferred to intuition: ISTJs tend to be more concrete than abstract. They focus their attention on the details rather than the big picture, and on immediate realities rather than future possibilities. T – Thinking preferred to feeling: ISTJs tend to value objective criteria above personal preference. When making decisions, they generally give more weight to logic than to social considerations. J – Judgement preferred to perception: ISTJs tend to plan their activities and make decisions early. They derive a sense of control through predictability. "ISTJs are logical, organized, sensible, and earnest traditionalists who enjoy keeping their lives and environments well-regulated. Typically reserved and serious individuals, they earn success through their thoroughness and extraordinary dependability. They are capable of shutting out distractions in order to take a practical, logical approach to their endeavours, and are able to make the tough decisions that other types avoid. Realistic and responsible, but despite their dependability and good intentions, however, ISTJs can experience difficulty in understanding and responding to the emotional needs of others. ISTJs are well-prepared for eventualities and have a good understanding of most situations. They believe in practical objectives, and they value traditions and loyalty."

As per the test, I'm an ISFJ-T, a 'Defender'.
The Defender personality type is quite unique, as many of their qualities defy the definition of their individual traits. Though sensitive, Defenders have excellent analytical abilities; though reserved, they have well-developed people skills and robust social relationships; and though they are generally a conservative type, Defenders are often receptive to change and new ideas.
Defender personalities (especially Turbulent ones) are often meticulous to the point of perfectionism, and though they procrastinate, they can always be relied on to get the job done on time. Defenders take their responsibilities personally, consistently going above and beyond, doing everything they can to exceed expectations and delight others, at work and at home.

I'm a campaigner. ENFP - A : i'm nearly at max on extraverted (i'm ok with this) quite high on intuitive (i'd tame it a bit) more feeling than thinking (i'm ok too, but I have a great brain ;-) ) and I don't judge much (I hope it is true, I hate judgments)and oh my, I'm totally assertive.
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool – for love – for your dreams – for the adventure of being alive.
— Oriah Mountain Dreamer
The Campaigner personality is a true free spirit. They are often the life of the party, but unlike types in the Explorer Role group, Campaigners are less interested in the sheer excitement and pleasure of the moment than they are in enjoying the social and emotional connections they make with others. Charming, independent, energetic and compassionate, the 7% of the population that they comprise can certainly be felt in any crowd.
I like this definition !!!

ADVOCATE PERSONALITY (INFJ, -A/-T)
The Advocate personality type is very rare, making up less than one percent of the population, but they nonetheless leave their mark on the world. As members of the Diplomat Role group, Advocates have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is that they are not idle dreamers, but people capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact.
Advocates tend to see helping others as their purpose in life, but while people with this personality type can be found engaging rescue efforts and doing charity work, their real passion is to get to the heart of the issue so that people need not be rescued at all.
Advocates indeed share a unique combination of traits: though soft-spoken, they have very strong opinions and will fight tirelessly for an idea they believe in. They are decisive and strong-willed, but will rarely use that energy for personal gain – Advocates will act with creativity, imagination, conviction and sensitivity not to create advantage, but to create balance. Egalitarianism and karma are very attractive ideas to Advocates, and they tend to believe that nothing would help the world so much as using love and compassion to soften the hearts of tyrants.
Advocates find it easy to make connections with others, and have a talent for warm, sensitive language, speaking in human terms, rather than with pure logic and fact. It makes sense that their friends and colleagues will come to think of them as quiet Extroverted types, but they would all do well to remember that Advocates need time alone to decompress and recharge, and to not become too alarmed when they suddenly withdraw. Advocates take great care of other’s feelings, and they expect the favor to be returned – sometimes that means giving them the space they need for a few days. Live to Fight Another Day Really though, it is most important for Advocates to remember to take care of themselves. The passion of their convictions is perfectly capable of carrying them past their breaking point and if their zeal gets out of hand, they can find themselves exhausted, unhealthy and stressed. This becomes especially apparent when Advocates find themselves up against conflict and criticism – their sensitivity forces them to do everything they can to evade these seemingly personal attacks, but when the circumstances are unavoidable, they can fight back in highly irrational, unhelpful ways.
To Advocates, the world is a place full of inequity – but it doesn’t have to be. No personality type is better suited to create a movement to right a wrong, no matter how big or small. Advocates just need to remember that while they’re busy taking care of the world, they need to take care of themselves, too.
My fellow Advocates were Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa and Mandela, pretty good company even if I didn't approve of M T's philosophy or treatment style. My favourite motto I pinned on our work lunch room noticeboard "Subvert the dominant paradigm". I think this analysis is fairly accurate but this is only the conclusion and the sidebar stuff was more accurate.

I am a logistician, ISTJ, A/-T. Whatever the hell that means It means you are more or less the same as me. At the top when I started the thread is a bit of a description if you feel the need to go through it. I did miss out though for the sake of propriety in the above that males of our type are habitually well endowed. I may take issue with some of the attributes we are said to have, but not that bit. Absolutely spot on. I know for sure that four inches is bigger than average and that's what Mrs M says anyway, so it must be true.

(Just for the record, I merged 2 older personality test threads into this one. I think the tests are still active, so you can always go back and try them too, if you need to know more about yourself. )

Interesting but I am not sure how accurate my results are . I always hover between various options in these types of tests as I find that I need to apply the setting to give the answer --for example am I at work, home, socialising etc . I guess that my personality traits vary according to the situation I am in.
