ESFP: The Artisan
Huh, what? I like being dramatic and I love to write and all, but all these "career" choices don't make a lick of sense. Early childhood education? I HATE kids. Sales? I hate crunching numbers all day. This doesn't make any sense. It's no wonder that every single test I've ever been given about "job fields" have never once been truly close to what my jobs and dreams are. I honestly am done with these tests, they're never even close.

The site recommended a career in acting, advertising, sales or public relations.
Apparently Elvis Presley and Elizabeth Taylor are also such individuals.

"Blessed with vivid imaginations, Counselors are often seen as the most poetical of all the types, and in fact they use a lot of poetic imagery in their everyday language. Their great talent for language - both written and spoken - is usually directed toward communicating with people in a personalized way. Counselors are highly intuitive and can recognize another's emotions or intentions - good or evil - even before that person is aware of them. Counselors themselves can seldom tell how they came to read others' feelings so keenly. This extreme sensitivity to others could very well be the basis of the Counselor's remarkable ability to experience a whole array of psychic phenomena."
I got into this years ago because I felt it was accurate. I tend to relate to just about everything INFJ except when the whole 'psychic phenomena' thing comes up. Don't get me wrong, it interests me, but I'm not deluded enough to think I'm some kind of psychic.
Edit: I'm a bit surprised there are more people getting the INTJ result here than INTP.
Still, I was expecting plenty of NTs either way. :]

ISTP
The only thing that deviates is that it kind of implies that ISTPs aren't artistic, which I guess is true to some extent because I treat art in all forms (writing, drawing, music, film, all of which I do) methodically rather than emotionally (which can be done by the way.) Because once you're able to break something down conventionally it's a lot easier to create something new while still remaining outside the realms of cryptic over-personalized abstraction, but now I'm on a different topic entirely.
Point is, yeah, I would say this is accurate.
Like their fellow SPs, ISTPs are fundamentally Performers (note the capital 'P' 
), but as Ts their areas of interest tend to be mechanical rather than artistic like those of ISFPs, and unlike most ESPs they do not present an impression of constant activity. On the contrary, they lie dormant, saving their energy until a project or an adventure worthy of their time comes along--and then they launch themselves at it. The apparently frenzied state that inevitably ensues is actually much more controlled than it appears--ISTPs always seem to know what they're doing when it comes to physical or mechanical obstacles--but the whole chain of events presents a confusing and paradoxical picture to an outsider.
ISTPs are equally difficult to understand in their need for personal space, which in turn has an impact on their relationships with others. They need to be able to "spread out"--both physically and psychologically--which generally implies encroaching to some degree on others, especially if they decide that something of someone else's is going to become their next project. (They are generally quite comfortable, however, with being treated the same way they treat others--at least in this respect.) But because they need such a lot of flexibility to be as spontaneous as they feel they must be, they tend to become as inflexible as the most rigid J when someone seems to be threatening their lifestyle (although they usually respond with a classic SP rage which is yet another vivid contrast to their "dormant," impassive, detached mode). These territorial considerations are usually critical in relationships with ISTPs; communication also tends to be a key issue, since they generally express themselves non-verbally. When they do actually verbalize, ISTPs are masters of the one-liner, often showing flashes of humor in the most tense situations; this can result in their being seen as thick-skinned or tasteless.
Like most SPs, ISTPs may have trouble with rote and abstract classroom learning, which tend not to be good measures of their actual intelligence. They tend, sometimes with good reason, to be highly skeptical of its practical value, and often gravitate towards classes in industrial arts; part-time vocational/ technical programs can be useful to even the college-bound ISTP. In terms of careers, mechanics and any of the skilled trades are traditional choices, and those ISTPs with strong numerical as well mechanical gifts tend to do extremely well in most areas of engineering. Working as paramedics or firefighters can fulfill the ISTP need to live on the edge; they are at their best in a crisis, where their natural disregard for rules and authority structures allows them to focus on and tackle the emergency at hand in the most effective way.
ISTPs with more sedate careers usually take on high-risk avocations like racing, skydiving, and motorcycling. While aware of the dangers involved, they are so in touch with the physical world that they know they can get away with much smaller safety margins than other types.

ISTJ
Which I partially agree with. While I am introverted and prefer doing things a certain, proven way I wouldn't say I am old fashioned...but then I am also one of the people on the forums who goes on about how great the SNES was and whatnot...I don't really have that great a sense of duty. I'm devoted to my GF but I ***** about work all the time.

Mastermind.
Apparently, I am:
slightly expressed introvert
very expressed intuitive personality
distinctively expressed thinking personality
moderately expressed judging personality

Apparently, JFK, Caesar, Newton, Nostradamus and Jung himself were INTJ.

Owh yay for sure I can say what's my personality like and express it in numbers. Certainly I can easily answer one of the most difficult questions in philosophy.
Really is anyone buying this?
Though I must admit I think it was rather accurate. I'm very extrovert, took me some effort to become like that, but now I'm and I try not to judge people. So yay, but I can't say wetter this test was reliable or not.

Judging from this page: http://keirsey.com/4temps/crafter.asp, its innacurate. I hate doing most of the things it describes.
My personality type changes with my mood, and since I'm a bit peeved right now, I'll score a higher "perceiving". I know this because I've taken it several times in different moods.

I got INFP. It fits, but I help people just because I don't like that drama to ***** at me later on.
