INTJ (a mastermind!)
Introverted   89
Intuitive 38   
Thinking 38   
Judging 56

Sparks, yours and mine are very similar.  I put the differences down to my advanced years.

Addendum: This description of the INTJ type fits me frighteningly well.  I feel quite naked now.

Realizing his opportunity, BPH shoves Rumsfeld out of the tree where he is torn apart by rabid wolves, earning BPH the Medal of Freedom.

Took it again.  Still INFJ.

Immanual Kant, William Shakespeare, Ludwig Beethoven, Pearl Buck, Arthur C. Clark

"INFJs are the rarest of the Myers Briggs types, accounting for 1–3% of the population."

I wanted to see what famous people were the same profile as me, and so I retook the test -- in earnest, and came up with a completely different result:

Extraverted 1, Intuitive 75, Feeling12, Perceiving 22.

The difference isn't huge, except for going from Judging 11 to perceiving 22 is pretty significant, further confirming my suspicions.  However, the ENFP profile explains my "silly switch."

I am like:
Joan Baez
Phil Donahue
Paul Robeson
Bill Moyer [sic]
Elizibeth Cady Stanton
Joeseph [sic] Campbell
Edith Wharton
Sargent Shriver
Charles Dickens
Upton Sinclair
Franz Joseph Haydn
Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)
Will Rogers
Buster Keaton
Theodor "Dr." Seuss Geisel (The Cat in the Hat)
Mickey Rooney
James Dobson ("Focus on the Family")
Andy Rooney
Carol Burnett
Paul Harvey
Elizabeth Montgomery (Bewitched)
Bill Cosby (Ghost Dad)
Dom Delouise, actor
Dave Thomas, owner of Wendy's hamburger chain
Lewis Grizzard, newspaper columnist
I. King Jordan, president of Gallaudet University
Martin Short, actor-comedian
Meg Ryan, actor (When Harry Met Sally)
Robin Williams, actor, comedian (Dead Poet's Society, Mrs. Doubtfire)
Sandra Bullock, actor (Speed, While You Were Sleeping)
Robert Downey (Heart and Souls)
Alicia Silverstone (Clueless)
Sinbad
Andy Kaufman
Regis Philbin
Dr. Doug Ross (ER)
Balkie [sic] (Perfect Strangers)
Ariel (The Little Mermaid)
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Steve Irkle [sic]
Steven Spielberg
Betty Friedan (American feminist)
Judy Garland

I have to admit that I'm totally like Ghost Dad.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

who would have pegged the FOT as a bunch of introverts?
Breakfast- I'm havin' a time
Wheelies- I'm havin' a time
Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

This is disingenuous, of course?

I enjoyed seeing which fictional characters share my characteristics:

Cassius (Julius Caesar)
Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice)
Gandalf the Grey (J. R. R. Tolkein's Middle Earth books)
Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs)
Professor Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes' nemesis
Ensign Ro (Star Trek--the Next Generation)
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (Hamlet)
George Smiley, John le Carre's master spy
Clarice Starling (Silence of the Lambs)

Addendum: This description of the INTJ type fits me frighteningly well.  I feel quite naked now.

No kidding. This paragraph is particular is frighteningly accurate for me:

This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals; for instance, they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk and flirtation (which most types consider half the fun of a relationship). To complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense. :-) This sometimes results in a peculiar naivete', paralleling that of many Fs -- only instead of expecting inexhaustible affection and empathy from a romantic relationship, the INTJ will expect inexhaustible reasonability and directness.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Oh yeah.  That struck home hard.  No wonder I live with cats and dogs instead of a person/people.

"Life is not necessarily easy for the INFJ, but they are capable of great depth of feeling and personal achievement. "

Like Meatloaf wisely half sings, "One out of three ain't bad."

I think "judging" has to do with evaluating things, weighing consequences.  So maybe you're impulsive and spontaneous?

My thinking number went up to 50 today (INTJ: 89, 38, 50, 56).  I don't know what questions I answered differently.  I suspect the change has to do with the fact that yesterday I was very distracted. 

My individual numbers are high compared to most of yours.  I guess I have a very clear-cut personality.

Your Type is
ENFP
Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving
Strength of the preferences % 
33 75 25 22

I think this is garbage or I have multiple personalities. Those questions are too hard! Sometimes the answer is sometimes and I didn't know what to pick. Most of the time that's the case. And today half of my four letters are different! How can I ever know myself if a scientific personality test can't know me?!

I am going to do an experiment right now and I'll post the results when I'm done.
I have a long history of booing
