I have had to take a few different personality tests in a couple of my classes. Here is the result to one I just took for an online collaborative work assignment. I think it's pretty right-on.
The Communication Style Indicator assesses communication styles based on 16 different temperament types. Each temperament type describes four aspects of a person's temperament and indicates his or her tendencies in communicating with others.
In general, people are
1. introverted (I) or extroverted (E)
2. intuitive (N) or sensing (S)
3. feeling (F) or thinking (T)
4. perceiving (P) or judging (J)
You may find that a person is introverted in certain situations and extroverted in others, or that a person makes decisions based on "feeling" in some cases and based on "thinking" in others. The Communication Style Indicator is meant to assess which aspects of a person's temperament are displayed most often and most strongly. None of the temperament types is preferable over another, and all represent possible strengths and possible weaknesses.
Based on your responses, your temperament type is
extroverted (E), sensing (S), feeling (F), and perceiving (P).
ESFP
The four SPs (ESFP, ESTP, ISFP, and ISTP) have a lot in common. The SPs, or sensing perceivers, are described as being able to see the needs of the moment; acting with effortless economy; adaptable; artistic; athletic; aware of reality and never fighting it; easygoing; enjoying life; gifted with machines and tools; having no use for theories; knowing what's going on around them; on the lookout for workable compromises; open-minded; persuasive; sensitive to color, line, and texture; storing up useful facts; tolerant; unprejudiced; and wanting first-hand experiences.
ESFPs are practical and action-oriented, with a great deal of common sense. They are cooperative, enthusiastic, positive, friendly, and helpful. They try to live life to the fullest and are almost always well liked. ESFPs are good negotiators, because they are good at convincing people to come around to their way of thinking. They are very tolerant of other people's differences and have good memories for facts. ESFPs love spontaneity and strive to make others feel good.
ESFPs have to be careful to balance their social activities and work activities. They enjoy life so much that sometimes they neglect its more tedious aspects. ESFPs should try to organize themselves better and try to stay focused on the tasks they have to complete. They need to try to base decisions more on facts than feelings. In general, ESFPs would be well served to try to stay objective and think things through to the end before acting.
