Personally, I'm not a fan of the SimilarMinds tests. I typically score 50-60% in one direction on any given dichotomy, and results are unreliable on F/J for me.

I think the Human Metrics test is a bit better. It's more reliable, though I've scored INTJ. Are you interested in what the test-makers believe they're assessing? Perhaps they have done some reliability testing.

Here's what I think the test-makers believe they're assessing (along with some of my reactions), so maybe some food for thought. I would agree with them in many cases.
