Just ran across my old tests, thought this would be interesting to see where everyone at TAO is... This site has fairly in depth summaries of each profile too.
I'm: ENF(t)P
What are you? and do you think the summary is accurate?

I'm INFP. Taken this test a couple of times. I'm extremely Introverted and extremely perceptive while intuitve/sensitive and feeling/thinking are almost 50/50 on both, so I show qualities of INFP, INTP and ISFP, although INFP is my strongest and for the most part, pretty accurate.

Yeah, first time I took it was for my psych evaluation, and being the little shit i was, I answered all of the questions to give me XXXX, and I had to retake it until I got definite answers....
I vary between ENTP and ENFP, though my psych got pissed cuz I used to switch back and forth between E and I, and they thought I was doing it on purpose.... I read my summaries, and they seem pretty damn accurate.... turns out ENFP is only 5-8 % of the male population in America.... its kinda cool to see how other people perceive the world around you in different ways and where the mean lies.

INFJ
"Beneath the quiet exterior, INFJs hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life. Those who are activists -- INFJs gravitate toward such a role -- are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power.
INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden. They often are found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress. INFJs may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless. The concept of 'poetic justice' is appealing to the INFJ.
"There's something rotten in Denmark." Accurately suspicious about others' motives, INFJs are not easily led. These are the people that you can rarely fool any of the time. Though affable and sympathetic to most, INFJs are selective about their friends. Such a friendship is a symbiotic bond that transcends mere words.
INFJs have a knack for fluency in language and facility in communication. In addition, nonverbal sensitivity enables the INFJ to know and be known by others intimately.
Writing, counseling, public service and even politics are areas where INFJs frequently find their niche."
Pretty accurate.

Is it because they say "You need to lighten up"?
ESTP
Extraverted - 67%
Sensing - 1%
Thinking - 25%
Perceiving - 22%
ESTPs are spontaneous, active folks. Like the other SPs, ESTPs get great satisfaction from acting on their impulses. Activities involving great power, speed, thrill and risk are attractive to the ESTP. Chronic stifling of these impulses makes the ESTP feel "dead inside."
Gamesmanship is the calling card of the ESTP. Persons of this type have a natural drive to best the competition. Some of the most successful salespersons are ESTPs. P.T. Barnum ("Never give a sucker an even break") illustrates the unscrupulous contingent of this type.
Almost unconsciously the ESTP looks for nonverbal, nearly subliminal cues as to what makes her quarry "tick." Once she knows, she waits for just the right time to trump the unsuspecting victim's ace and glory in her conquest. Oddly enough, the ESTP seems to admire and respect anyone who can beat her at her own game.
"If I was any better, I couldn't stand it!" To an ESTP, admission of weakness feels like failure. He admires strength in himself and in others.
"Shock effect" is a favored technique of this type to get the attention of his audience. ESTPs love to be at center stage, demonstrating feats of wonder and daring.
A lot of that sounded pretty dead on, especially the red.
I also took a look at the Risk Attitudes Profiler, which provided some other results which were unsettlingly accurate.
Risk Attitudes Profiler:
Primary: Inspired (http://www.humanmetrics.com/rot/Inspired.asp) - 45%
Secondary: Adventurer (http://www.humanmetrics.com/rot/Adventurer2.htm) - 32%
Is it because they say "You need to lighten up"?
It's because none of the questions are specific enough.

This test isn't to make you someone and define who you should be, it is to help tell you how you are. It's like a pair of jeans. You don't buy size 26 jeans because you like the style even though you are size 54. You are what you are and this is tells you where you prefer to be.
Like I said, I am an INFP. I have to be an extrovert constantly because of my job but it really does drain me and it is not what I revert to when I am trying to be comfortable. You may live your life on the other side of any of these because of job demands or peer groups, but left alone and being totally relaxed, these will slide to where you are most comfortable.
It is easy to manipulate this though once you know what they are looking for.

We have almost polar opposite percentages, but the same letters. How does that work out?
Percentages reflect how strong you are in each subj. if you are 1% I you are only showing a very minimal preference to I (think about it being a scale of 200, and if the median is 100, your % shows what raw score you have [a 1% could be read as 101/200 Introverted, so very close to the mean])
My summary fits me pretty spot on, especialy this part...
ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch and ... Som etimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is flipped.
I get accused of being high so much its annoying... I mean, like when I never smoked a couple years ago, and even now I'll have been sober for ages and I get accused of being baked... My eyes are naturally dilated as shit tho...

ENFJ
"ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it's usually not meant as manipulation -- ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are.
ENFJs are global learners. They see the big picture. The ENFJs focus is expansive. Some can juggle an amazing number of responsibilities or projects simultaneously. Many ENFJs have tremendous entrepreneurial ability.
ENFJs are, by definition, Js, with whom we associate organization and decisiveness. But they don't resemble the SJs or even the NTJs in organization of the environment nor occasional recalcitrance. ENFJs are organized in the arena of interpersonal affairs. Their offices may or may not be cluttered, but their conclusions (reached through feelings) about people and motives are drawn much more quickly and are more resilient than those of their NFP counterparts.
ENFJs know and appreciate people. Like most NFs, (and Feelers in general), they are apt to neglect themselves and their own needs for the needs of others. They have thinner psychological boundaries than most, and are at risk for being hurt or even abused by less sensitive people. ENFJs often take on more of the burdens of others than they can bear."

I'd also like to note that Johnny Depp is an ENFJ. :wub:

Most serious questionaires have that. It's a built in way to check if the person is being honest or just randomly clicking to get to a prize at the end. It also gives the tester a view of how consistent the test taker is in answering questions and how phrasing might affect an answer choice.
