My suggestion - do not opt for personality tests. I have been tempted in the past to take these tests. But you have to understand that those who take these tests, are highly likely to believe the results - and the placebo effect takes place because they believe in the results - they start behaving around the results - and end up propagating the benefits of such systems.
This is a defeating cause. You are the best person to understand yourself - placing that responsibility to system outside of you is foolish. Add to that, if you carefully observe - we are always evolving as a person. Are you sure the results you obtain from these tests will hold true 5 years hence ? And if you choose to believe the results - aren't you limiting yourself of the possibilities ?
Your life keeps exposing your vulnerabilities and flaws - if you observe and learn from your life that itself is the biggest discovery of your self - who you are when presented with a situation is the best indicator of your personality.
Spend time reflecting on who you are that's far better than relying on external systems that try to frame and model and limit people's personality.
No system is exhaustive enough to capture the combinations of traits to come up with a list of personality types. And generalizations are just that - a generalization.
Its better to be a little skeptical of these tests - Just sharing my opinion.
