This ranges from everything from ENTJ to IFTP, IFTJ, EMTP, etc. Considering there are over several billion people on this planet, I find it hard to believe that there are only 64 types out there.
    It mostly serves as a guide for psychology anyway.
    16 "types", actually. Four factors with two possible options for each. Meyers-Briggs is based on Jung's work on the structure of the psyche. Each factor represents your preference, rather than a specific option. If your judging function is feeling, that doesn't preclude you from using thinking from time to time. It simply means that you tend towards the feeling function.

    I'll give a very cursory explination.

    You have two main "functions", your Judging(j) and your Percieving(p) functions. Percieving can be either Sensing(s) or Intuitive(n). Sensing looks at the details of the object, the stuff you take in via your 5 senses. Intuition looks at concepts and how things relate. Judging can be either Thinking(t) or Feeling(f). Thinking makes decisions based on the facts involved. Feeling makes decisions based on the values(how you feel about stuff) of the things involved. No particular method of percieving or judging is superior to another, and everyone actually uses both methods in each category. Now, a function is applied in a "direction", it's either Extroverted(e) or Introverted(i). Extroversion looks outside the person at the world around them, while introversion looks within the person. For example, an extroverted intuitive would be looking at the manipulation and interaction of physical objects, while an introverted intuitive would look at how the knowledge and emotions they hold interact and can be manipulated. Once again, no "direction" is superior and you use both directions on either function. Finally, you tend toward either your Judging function or your Percieving function. Judgers are more decisive and goal-oriented, while Percievers spend more time just considering a decision and enjoy the journey more than the actual destination. Neither preference is superior, and you have to use both throughout life. Another thing, the percieving function and judging function will always be preferred in opposite directions. If your percieving is preferred extroverted, your judging will be preferred introverted.

    So, the acronym tells you (in this order): direction of the preferred function, percieving function, judging function, which function is extrovertedly preferred (due to an issue with testing). Mine, ENTP, says that I prefer extroverted intuition and introverted thinking. Since these are preferrences, and another ENTP could express a different degree in each preferrence, there are multiple ways a person could manifest an "ENTP personality".

    It is important to note, that AFAIK, the Jungian school of psychology is not particularly popular in modern psychology. It is an interesting study though. Also, Meyers-Briggs is subject to much controversy, as many find it too vague and it's not really very useful in real world applications. There is also an alternate theory on the subject called Socionics.
    Cogito ergo dubito.

    "How happy are the astrologers if they tell one truth to a hundred lies, while other people lose all credibility if they tell one lie to a hundred truths." - Francesco Guicciardini

      Woohoo! i got this......

      This test says you are an ESFP (Extrovert, Sensor, Feeler, Perceiver).* In Star Trek, you share a basic personality configuration with the characters of Kathryn Janeway and Tom Paris.

      Qualities

      People like you are warm and social, impulsive, and unpredictable. You have a great zeal for life and are intensely aware of the world around you. You love to play and respond quickly to people who will play with you. You respond well to appeals to common sense and poorly to being judged. Attempts to trap you will make you ready to flee or fight. And you fight to the death.

      You're highly curious and talkative, but also gentle, sensitive and caring. You close down when people fail to provide you with input, and you're frustrated with silences and people who interfere in your life. You're most comfortable taking action, particularly in order to help or enjoy the company of others.

      Goals

      Your primary goal in life is freedom to be spontaneous and have fun, especially if it involves acting or other performances. Your reward is to enjoy the company of others and know that they enjoy and appreciate you.

      Work

      You do best when the people and things around you change, offering you new things to learn and explore. A good supervisor will offer you new challenges and appreciate your ability to think on your feet. You also need a job where you aren't killed for occasionally choosing not to follow orders.

      Relationships

      You love to talk, so you need friends and lovers who love to listen. Beware those who dismiss you or look upon your fun approach to life as frivolous. You understand the importance of a little mischief. Long-term relationships are difficult for you, so look inside yourself when friends, lovers, and family suddenly seem to sprout faults.

      You also have a tendency to become stubborn and even immature when under extreme stress, especially if you're feeling frustrated. You have a tendency to worry a little too much about how the other person feels, so you need a mate who will talk when they have something to say, however, unpleasant it may be.

      Jobs

      Good careers for your type include primary education teacher, starship captain, public relations specialist, tour operator, actor, marine biologist, and starship pilot.

      Yes, this sounds like me! haha

        It said I was a Wesley/Odo, which is incorrect. I'm entj on the myers-briggs test.

        I reject your reality and substitute my own-Adam Savage
        A person is smart. People are stupid, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it-Agent Kay
        That is the exploration that awaits you�not mapping stars and studying nebulae, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence-Q

        Church: Nope, no matter how bad they seem, they can't be any better, and they can't be any worse, because that's the way things f***ing are, and you better get used to it Nancy. Quit-yer-b****ing.

            Silly little test

            I answered honestly and my results were....

            (Introvert, Intuitive, Thinker, and I tend to Judge things)...surprisingly that's quite accurate.

            As far as who I emulate.....

            (Picard, 7 of 9 and T'Pol)...I'll take it!,

            Picard is my favorite TNG character.

            What's not to love about 7 of 9, although I am very much male.

            I didn't give a crap about Enterprise but T'Pol was a cool character.

                    Star Trek Personality Test Results: ISFP

                    This test says you are an ISFP (Introvert, Sensor, Feeler, Perceiver).* In Star Trek, you share a basic personality configuration with the characters of Bareil, Hoshi Sato, and The Doctor.



                    "Who’s picking these movies? Shouldn't we all get a vote?" - Sato

                    Qualities

                    People like you are a complex blend of the empathetic and realistic. You're kind, thoughtful and affectionate with those you know well, though strangers may find you reserved and/or brusque. When you're comfortable, you can be quite humble and gentle with others. When threatened, you tend to shut down. You adapt well to the needs of others without compromising yourself, achieving peace and usefulness with your environment. You're very down-to-earth, and you are deadly serious about your personal values.

                    You're faithful, but highly sensitive to criticism. You get your feelings hurt easily. You like to help others in practical ways and dislike confrontations.

                    If you're a strong introvert, you tend to be quiet and soft-spoken. If you're more extroverted, you may overcompensate for shyness.

                    Often, and to others' surprise, you are impulsive and wild, doing something because you darn well feel like it. You are often the first in your circle to try something, and you delight in new experiences. You're curious about how and why things work, but you explore with sensitivity.

                    Goals

                    Your primary goal in life is feeling peaceful and harmonious with the people and places that matter most to you. Your reward is to be accepted and loved just the way you are.

                    Work

                    You thrive when you can teach yourself. You have a great balance in loving poetry and daydreams without losing your strong sense of reality. Your position needs to allow creativity. A good supervisor will realize that you stumble across your best ideas when you're rambling or experimenting, trusting that your work ethic controls unproductive play.

                    Beware blaming others for your own faults when you're under stress and what may be a knee-jerk reaction to denying your own mistakes. Ease stress by defining your personal space.

                    Relationships

                    You can be the most attentive of friends and lovers, but you have difficulty speaking up when you feel wronged. As you have a deep cynicism lurking in your heart, a mate who does not monitor your needs may lead you to give up on the whole relationship, or mankind in general.

                    Acquaintances may find you detached and unfeeling, but when you're intimate, you are loving and sensuous. You're more than capable of loving someone throughout your life without smothering them.

                    Jobs

                    Good careers for your type include Vedeck, primary care physician, interior designer, linguist, massage therapist, chef, and alcohol and drug addiction counselor.
                    I think this was pretty accurate for me - certainly more accurate than many of these types of tests have been and definitely more accurate than horoscopes.

                        This test says you are an ESTP (Extrovert, Sensor, Thinker, Perceiver).* In Star Trek, you share a basic personality configuration with the characters of Geordi La Forge, Montgomery Scott, and Tasha Yar.


                        Close, but not quite. I'd say I'm more introverted. Sensor huh? Lateral or Long Range? I'm definitely a thinker. As for perceiver hmm... well yeah, my senses are pretty sharp.

                        Not too bad a test. I found it hard to answer instinctively though. I kept hovering between answers a and b.

                          heheh I like this thing

                          This test says you are an INFP (Introvert, Intuitive, Feeler, Perceiver).* In Star Trek, you share a basic personality configuration with the characters of Garak, Kes, and Phlox.

                          >__< Right on! I'm so Phlox! X-D

                          "Unless I'm mistaken, they are preparing to mate. Do you think they might let me watch?" - Phlox

                          I so picture myself saying that

                          Qualities

                          People like you are generally nonconforming, deeply passionate, and highly dedicated to your personal values. You're reserved, which covers a sensitive spirit easily hurt, the deepest sense of conviction, and a constant state of wonder. You're highly imaginative and creative. You're curious and often study others quietly. You're flexible in small matters. You don't dance to other people's tunes, but you can pretend you do. You get what you want by talking, not screaming.

                          You're loving and dedicated to people you care about, but you do not compromise your principles for them. Your sense of what is right comes first, even before yourself. You respond best to people who respect your privacy until you let them in, then provide you with emotional intimacy.

                          You're not the world's most tidy person, nor are you fond of housework and bill-paying. However, if you apply yourself, you may discover a hidden talent for dealing with money.

                          Goals

                          Your primary goal in life is to be true to your deeply held beliefs and to live in harmony with your values. Your reward is to have your ideas benefit others.

                          Work

                          It is vital to your energy that you enjoy the feelings of "good triumphing over evil." Revel in your victories and watch out for becoming dispirited over life's inevitable failures. You have a great capacity for fantasy, so you may want to turn inward to a world where everything is perfect to the detriment of your effectiveness in "reality." Your nobility includes a propensity for self-sacrifice, but under great stress, you can question your own identity.

                          A good supervisor will keep your position clearly defined and encourage your curiosity with praise and open support. A bad supervisor will take advantage of your habit for taking the blame for everything, including the weather and acts of God.

                          Relationships

                          You have a very strong sense of other people's feelings and are loyal to the core. You are affable and cordial as a rule, but when your values are challenged (or someone you care about is threatened) you can be surprisingly vicious. Be careful about lashing out at others for merely perceived threats.

                          You may have difficulties in over-romanticizing your relationships, particularly when you feel sincere love. Your desire for idealized perfection in harmony may make you too sensitive to ordinary setbacks and conflicts. On the other hand, your genuine desire to care may make you insensitive to when others don't want to be helped.

                          Jobs

                          Good careers for your type include being a psychologist, human resources professional, Cardassian spy, physical therapist, translator/interpreter, legal mediator, college professor of humanities, and art director.

                          Cardassian spy? Bwahahahahahahah! That's priceless! X-D Everything else is right on I'm amazed

                            Star Trek Personality Test Results: ESTJ

                            This test says you are an ESTJ (Extrovert, Sensor, Thinker, Judger).* In Star Trek, you share a basic personality configuration with the characters of William Riker, B'Elanna Torres, and Charles "Trip" Tucker.



                            "I don't inflate my work estimates. When I say 24 hours, I mean it." - Torres

                            Qualities

                            People like you are generally quick decision makers (as long as emotions aren't involved), organized and efficient. Your personality is charismatic, friendly and energetic, but you take life seriously and can be quite opinionated on your own turf. You're extremely outspoken when you feel you're in the right. You have great trouble dealing with people who are dishonest and/or disorderly.

                            You're highly productive, realistic, and sensible. You're great at dealing with problems as long as you can take them systematically. Somewhat of a traditionalist, you're distrustful of new and untested ideas, and you're more than a little blunt telling others how you feel about them, or about whatever other faults you see. When you give a compliment, however, you mean it.

                            Goals

                            Your primary goal in life is doing the right thing, and being in charge. This is balanced by a faith in the tried and true, which means you are happy out of the driver's seat, as long as you have faith in the driver.

                            Work

                            Your reward is to be appreciated by others and have your opinion respected. You also enjoy having others willingly follow your orders. Your best work environment is orderly and disciplined, but you're a good people-person, so social interaction is an important part of your routine. You cannot abide dealing with others who will not do their work or those who have no ideals. But this can also mean you have trouble recognizing others' ideals, or agreeing with them even when you do see them.

                            Relationships

                            You prize family over friendships, but once a friend becomes "family" to you, you will be their friend literally for life. You have the strength, patience, and fortitude to be a great parent, but you are hampered by your difficulties in dealing with other people's feelings and with the "messiness" of relationships. In a mate, it is vital that you select someone who is in touch with their emotions and will demand the same of you.

                            Jobs

                            Good careers for your type include being a command officer, pharmacist, starship engineer, teacher, cook, and personnel manager.
