The better "MBTI" tests to take

^^That one I reference below but this one is good if the jargon just confuses you too much.

Remember, the best way to find your type is research. Tests should only be used as a springboard into understanding. Furthermore, MBTI shouldn't be taken too seriously - use it to strengthen insights, not define.
I've read so much material and taken so many tests on Myers-Briggs and in particular the writings of Jung on typology. Most MBTI tests give you Keirsey results, which is nice, but fails to get to the deeper levels of typology which is what really interests me.
If you are new, or an old hand, to typing I personally suggest taking that test - or any functions test rather than the type-tests. I personally like that test as they didn't overly simplify it, which I think leads to answer bias, though perhaps lends itself to more extremes; of course extremes are easier to work with when learning! A lot of the functions tests will then inform your most likely type, which you can then go read up on if you want to get an 'overall' context, followed by learning about functions for that deeper knowledge. Yum, yum.
Here is my 'type confusion' story if you want to know why I really suggest really getting to know the theory. Don't read on if it is of not interest, of course.
Personally, I found general tests initially skipped between INFP and INTP (How different they are!) as the questions and statements were just to general. I consider peoples emotions, but more as a factor and am usually impartial. I have empathy, but only if I make myself stop and think - it isn't a gut reaction, thus I lack sympathy. My mother an ENFJ (I initially thought INFJ, and that is what she initially typed as) being Fe dominant really kicks into me being considerate and what not meaning I don't repress my supposed inferior as much.
When I really learned the depths of cognitive functions I began to wonder if I was actually ENTP rather than INTP as I knew I heavily favored my intuitive side, yet I still felt INTP functions fitted. The difference the E/I dynamic is merely a swap in function order. So rather than the commonly ordered INTP: Ti-Ne-Si-Fe I considered I was ENTP: Ne-Ti-Fe-Si. I'm still not certain I'm not ENTP, but I think I automatically Ti and thus notice it less and the Ne feels more prevalent due to my heavy use of it but not 'auto-pilot' use. Who knows!
Fun to investigate from time to time then think on it. I'm always randomly researching and reading up on the topic! Typing people makes it a bit easier to interact with them and also a fun talking point which is an added bonus, I guess. Who am I kidding, I'd consume this stuff regardless of benefits!
Here are my results... I think it is fair to say I'm not a very practical person. Such as thinker/dreamer!
e = Extroverted. i = Introverted.
F = Feeling. T = Thinking.
S = Sensing. N = iNtuitive
Enjoy and I hope that was helpful!
