I know it. I've done several tests throughout the past, and each time had completely different results.

We change, but those tests simply ignore how often we change and are variable according to the stage of our life, our mood on that day, etc.

I'm taking the test again, just to try and see my results:
(this one I found through Google here )

ENTP - "Inventor". Enthusiastic interest in everything and always sensitive to possibilities. Non-conformist and innovative. 3.2% of the total population.
---> Okay, acceptable.

favored careers:
dictator, computer consultant, international spy, tv producer, philosopher, comedian, music performer, it consultant, figher pilot, politician, diplomat, entertainer, game designer, bar owner, freelance writer, creative director, strategist, news anchor, professional skateboarder, airline pilot, comic book artist, college professor, private detective, mechanical engineer, lecturer, ambassador, astronomer, research scientist, judge, web developer, scholar, fbi agent, cia agent, electrical engineer, assassin
---> Interesting :evil:

ENFP - (I took this from Wikipedia since the test only displayed ENTP although I had 50/50 in Thinking/Feeling)

ENFPs are initiators of change who are keenly perceptive of possibilities, and who energize and stimulate through their contagious enthusiasm. They prefer the start-up phase of a project or relationship, and are tireless in the pursuit of new-found interests. ENFPs are able to anticipate the needs of others and to offer them needed help and appreciation. They bring zest, joy, liveliness, and fun to all aspects of their lives. They are at their best in situations that are fluid and changing, and that allow them to express their creativity and use their charisma. They tend to idealize people, and can be disappointed when reality fails to fullful their expectations. They are easily frustrated if a project requires a great deal of follow up or attention to detail.
----> But, but, but, but... my motto is "Love everyone, trust nobody!", I often like entering existing projects or continue working on them for a long period after other people have forgotten about them.
I don't know... I identify with some of the things they say, and not with others. For example, I don't understand why spending "time alone with oneself" ought to be mutually exclusive from "often going to nightclubs and parties". And there are other things which, in my view, seem to be unjustly "dualized", have a "natural opposite", etc. (I can be organized, follow a plan and - when I find something really nice - I can immediately break free from the schedule and pursue what I want randomly).

What utility can I gain from such knowledge?

I think people should respect their own individuality. Don't fall into the trap of trying to conform to someone one's, or even society's, ideas of how much of a social life one is supposed to have.
I would also dare adding:
Don't fall into the trap of trying to conform to someone one's, or even society's, ideas of what personality traits one is supposed to have, just because of a few archetypes and personality tests :P
