A month or so ago I took the test at http://socionics.wsphere.com/, but then I got busy and didn't have much if any time to post on forums at all. Here were the results...

Looks like the server is down? Well, I saved a local copy (html only) so I have the text but not some of the images, but here are the results more or less.
Strong Functions
Ne, Ni, Te, Ti, Se, Fe, Fi
Weak Functions
Te, Si, Fi
Type by Attribute
[not necessarily your indicated type]
INFP
Type by Function
[unordered primary/secondary functions]
ENTP - INTJ = 22
ESFJ - ISFP = 12
ENFJ - INFP = 22
ESTP - ISTJ = 12
ESFP - ISFJ = 12
ENTJ - INTP = 22
ESTJ - ISTP = 12
ENFP - INFJ = 18
Functional Preference
Ne (28)
Ni (24)
Ti (22)
Fe (20)
Se (18)
Te (18)
Fi (16)
Si (-2)
(there was some more graphical stuff, but it's gone now. d'oh!)
I'm basically trying to figure out if I'm more an INTP or an INFP, and maybe learn more about sub-type and functional preference stuff. On most other MBTI related tests pretty much all of the T/F type questions stump me. I can't answer some of them either way. To me, sometimes emotional considerations matter and other times they don't. How I answer a lot of those questions depends on what examples from my life I was reflecting on at the time and could have really gone either way. And then what ends up happening is I end up splitting straight down the middle between T/F. In Keirsey's Please Understand Me II book I came out dead even on T/F questions. He said if you tie to take the temperament sorter in the back of his book. Did that too and scored dead even between NT and NF. heh. I figured this test was big enough that maybe it'd cut through that and dig a bit deeper than the others.
For the past couple of months I've been reflecting back on my whole life and could probably make equally strong cases for either NF or NT. A lot of NF characterisitcs fit me, but then a lot of NT traits do too, and it always seems to be a lot equal. So I've just been considering myself an INxP for now. But still, it'd be nice to know and understand a little more.
If I'm an INFP, isn't my Fi a bit low? It's in both strong and weak functions. Overall my T functions (Te & Ti) are stronger than F, so maybe I'm an INTP with very strong F? But if that's the case, I'm wondering why it still came out INFP in the type by attribute?
Thanks in advance for any help or insight.
