I love personality tests, I find them addictive, I've taken the Myers-Briggs test at least half a dozen times at various times in my life, with results from INTJ to ENFP and everything in between.
One flaw in the test is that it doesn't distinguish between how you instinctively act and what you value most. Naturally I am a total introvert, but at times in my life I have made an unusual effort to have an active social life and make a lot of friends. And I scored an E on the introvert/extrovert dimension. For whatever reason I was proud of this.
It would be trivially easy to game this test, but even if you take it honestly, the test is telling you something ambiguous: a mixture of who you are now and what you aspire to.
You can take an MBTI test twice, once 'honestly how you behave' and another time 'how you aspire to behave'. Which, if any, axes flip may be interesting.
