Myers-Briggs is about as scientific as voodoo, alchemy or economics but I gave this a whirl.
I got INTP-T on this one. While I am highly skeptical of Myers-Briggs (I've taken it before on different sites, with different results, and I'm aware that there's little evidence to support its categorizations), I have to admit that some bits of the description were painfully accurate.
:-\
I'll give more detail to all these 'internet tests'--The Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory held online is not to be used as something formal and definitive due to the many factors which leave it open to unreliability and the lack of validity//criticality needed to be accurate and precise, in which the Barnum effect may sometimes occur (since the only person assessing the result is yourself, and given the history of such a test, it will be extremely difficult since there is no set or degree to gauge your own methods unless trained or knowledgeable in how to do so)...

Most universities as far as I know give personality testing for free, along with follow-up interview and consultation which is the most important part. Internet tests alone will not give a definitive result.

...Also Bouchart, your words please. :v

I'm a Debater (ENTP-T). I'm reminded of my baptism at the Philosopher's Circle, where during the "trial" I was accused of being a "confident Cicero" (I pleaded guilty and got sentenced to having my mouth sewn shut and die from the resulting infection).

Do note for posterity that Introvert != Shut-in or something that leans towards isolation; people who are very sociable and love being with other people are also introverts when their time alone revitalizes them, so to say. :O

INFP-T.  No surprise there.  OF course, at the back of my mind, there's the nagging feeling that I'm only believing this about myself because I'm receiving it from an external source, and that I'd never have believed this assessment if it were to have come just from me.

I'm DTPT-M...

(I've done it before, with no surprises.  Can't remember what I was exactly but, self-assessed, I'd say I hover around I?TP-T with being unsure about the N/S distinction...  But that the fifth measure is new to me, and makes it now 32 personality types (on the binary scale), unless they have made that a dimensionless measure entirely based upon the results of the classical four.)

...but I decided to have a go anyway.  My own prediction was I?TP-T, and I turned out to be... (INFP-a)...

Firmly Introverted (90%), largely intuitive (69%, although I didn't like the questions easiest to identify to calculate this result), borderline Feeling (59% vs 41% the predicted Thinking... again, I blame the questions) and quite a bit Prospecting (78%, could have been more, but for difficult nuances in the questions atuned to this part of the scale).

I was also barely Assertive (56%), but that might more be how definite I was about being uncomfortable in social situations and the like.

And this is why I'm DTPT-M.

I defy categorisation. Well, okay, except the introvert part. But this one gave me INTP, I think, which is the third classification I've seen from these. Usually come up INTJ, occasionally ISTJ.
