I took the longer test, and it got me down as INFP, which I usually am in these tests
(the only other combination I've had is INFJ). Most of the values are very one-sided:
82% introverted, 91% intuitive, 90% feeling. It's only perceiving that is close, at
55%. The wikipedia description pretty much has my personality type down to a tee:
The polite, reserved exterior of INFPs can at first make them difficult to get to
know. They enjoy conversation, however, taking particular delight in the unusual. When
INFPs are in a sociable mood, their humor and charm shine through. Disposed to like
people and to avoid conflict, INFPs tend to make pleasant company.
Devoted to those in their inner circle, INFPs guard the emotional well-being of others,
consoling those in distress. Guided by their desire for harmony, INFPs prefer to be
flexible unless their ethics are violated. Then, they become passionate advocates for
their beliefs. They are often able to sway the opinions of others through tact,
diplomacy, and an ability to see varying sides of an issue.
INFPs develop these insights through reflection, and they require substantial time
alone to ponder and process new information. While they can be quite patient with
complex material, they are generally bored by routine. Though not always organized,
INFPs are meticulous about things they value. Perfectionists, they may have trouble
completing a task because it cannot meet their high standards. They may even go back to
a completed project after the deadline so they can improve it.
INFPs are creative types and often have a gift for language. As introverts, they may
prefer to express themselves through writing. Their dominant Feeling drives their
desire to communicate, while their auxiliary intuition supplies the imagination. Having
a talent for symbolism, they enjoy metaphors and similes. They continually seek new
ideas and adapt well to change. They prefer working in an environment that values these
gifts and allows them to make a positive difference in the world, according to their
personal beliefs.

OK, I did the personality test for the second time. My result is now:
Ta-dah, your personality type is ESTJ!
Extraverted (E) 54% Introverted (I) 46%
Sensing (S) 68% Intuitive (N) 32%
Thinking (T) 60% Feeling (F) 40%
Judging (J) 64% Perceiving (P) 36%
I read some characterizations on the internet about ESTJ - people, but I can't really identify with this. What is proven in my case is that I am a kind of "ambivert" with both extrovert and introvert parts of my personality.
