It's not the be all and end all.
This particular test is best complemented with others. It's about 75% accurate, i presume most of the inaccuracy stems from humans simply not knowing themselves well enough.

The harshest critics accuse the system of Confirmation bias and just another form of astrology. i.e. not accurate at all. The Forer effect may apply.

I think most of the test are poorly devised. Secondly, the people organising the tests don't know what they are doing. So what seems like a good idea in theory, in practice is a bit crappy.
It forms only a tiny part of a psychology degree (hearsay from an employment psychologist). A few years ago it played absolutely no part in recruitment (human relations hearsay) but it is gaining mainstream use (hearsay from the same person two years later).

I never heard of it ten years ago, Only about 7 years ago. I used it to analyse a personal inter-relations problem. It does not really solve anything as the other remains the same.

Shame they haven't bothered to make it interactive or even made an excel form downloadable.
The creators of this test http://web.calstatela.edu/faculty/jshindl/plsi/ would answer 18 as b;
18. When it comes to work that is very exact and detailed
a. it comes pretty easily to you
b. you tend to lose interest in it quickly

I got ENTP

From the stories I've heard about you, as well as the posts I've seen, If I had to describe you in a four letter word, it certainly wouldn't be INTP, although it would have an NT in there.
