Test 1
Your personality type is ESFJ.
Extraverted (E) 50% Introverted (I) 50%
Sensing (S) 59% Intuitive (N) 41%
Feeling (F) 85% Thinking (T) 15%
Judging (J) 59% Perceiving (P) 41%

Test 2
Your Type is ESFJ
Extraverted Sensing Feeling Judging
Strength of the preferences %
1 1 50 22

I did notice a number of similarities between the questions for both of these – but still a more reliable result!

Test 3
Your answers suggest you are a Nurturer

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:
Planner, Facts, Hearts and Introvert

Summary of Nurturers
* Care for the important people in their lives
* Strive for harmony and avoid confrontation
* Think of themselves as gentle, conscientious, and mature
* May have trouble making decisions that could hurt others

According to my Typealyzer I am classed “ESTP – The Doers”.

I'd say that was reasonably accurate, and makes me wonder where I'll be professionally in 10 years! Knowing yourself is also key in solving the problem of knowing where you are going (or perhaps where you are aiming). I feel like I know myself a little better – although I'm no clearer about where I am going!

Thanks Doug :-)
