this is super off-topic but these always fascinate me. the meyers-briggs thing. i'm between an intp and an infp, and they're pretty right on.
test (http://www.advisorteam.com/temperament_sorter/register.asp?partid=1) and types (http://keirsey.com/) (scroll a bit)

I think I'm infj, but how do you find out specifically without buying the results?

er. that sucks. there's a similar one here: http://typefocus.com/comp_1.html and detailed explanations of the types are here: http://www.keirsey.com/. they used to be free. people are so greedy. sheesh. i used to be intp and now i'm infp. i guess i'm growing a heart. like the grinch.
I just took one for a class i am in right now and i am an INFP and have been for quite some time because i took this test six years ago and came up with the same results.

Rationals, are the problem solving temperament, particularly if the problem has to do with the many complex systems that make up the world around us. Rationals might tackle problems in organic systems such as plants and animals, or in mechanical systems such as railroads and computers, or in social systems such as families and companies and governments. But whatever systems fire their curiosity, Rationals will analyze them to understand how they work, so they can figure out how to make them work better.
Rationals are very scarce, comprising as little as 5 to 7 percent of the population. But because of their drive to unlock the secrets of nature, and to develop new technologies, they have done much to shape our world.
The Four types of Rationals are:
Architects (INTP) | Masterminds (INTJ) | Inventors (ENTP) | Field Marshals (ENTJ)
interesting considering that about an hour earlier i had decided that i hoovered around these 4 types. i spend way to much time with this stuff, mbti and enneagram. its interesting though.

I took a different one. It had scales and said I was on these sides of the scales:
Easygoing: DRIVE: Can sometimes appear casual about work. Modest concern towards accomplishing goals. Able to set work aside. Quality and timeliness of work may ebb and flow with interest in task. ORGANIZATION: Reasonably well organized. May become somewhat disordered under heavy workload.
Outgoing: Personable, active and high spirited. Enjoys some attention from others. Sometimes speaks before thinking. Prefers talking to listening. SOCIABILITY: Enjoys some degree of socializing and being around people, but also values privacy.
Critical/Agreeable Blend: Makes an effort to be cooperative in social settings. Not overly concerned with getting along. Is able to work for the benefit of the group. EMPATHY: Can balance objectivity with others' feelings. Shows a reasonable amount of concern for others. TRUST: Usually accepts people on good faith as trustworthy. Doesn't hold a grudge.
Very Reactive: Sensitive, emotional, and prone to experience feelings that are upsetting. Prone to be tense, insecure, and nervous. Experiences very strong and passionate emotions. ANXIETY: May suffer from anxiety, leading to a negative disposition. Sometimes worries too much. Feelings can be easily hurt. MOOD: Mood is fairly consistent. Can let go of anger after a short period of time.
Inquisitive: Open to new experiences. Broad interests. May see self as open minded and progressive. Seeks the aesthetic and has a need for variety. Enjoys intellectual debate. Considers various aspects of an issue. CREATIVITY: Is fairly imaginative, and can provide some innovative ideas.

So I guess I'm an Inventor, huh? I think being a rational definetly describes me. I am a scientist (gbv reference), so I guess that would make some sense.
