I think I could be a poster child for the problems with the "test-and-tell" approach. Whether done by practitioners, on my own for a fee or with those free online thingies, the results have always been the same with two notable exceptions: INTJ. Thanks to your detailed way of approaching the subject, and despite my own incredible misunderstanding of myself (which still embarrasses me, BTW; I apologize for my stupidity in dust and ashes), I found out that I am SO not an INTJ. Mirablu dictu, my "best fit" is ENFP, what Dr. Kiersey calls the mutual Pedagogue with INTJ -- and my lifelong fictional alter ego (through whom I have lived so much) is my Shadow or Contrast, INFJ. There's just no way I could've learned this without your help and that of the fine workbooks by Linda Berens et al., although some excellent Web sites (to me anyway) set me on the road to your directed self-discovery course. (5 models? What are the other 2? :) ) As a very satisfied customer to date, I can’t express my gratitude enough at those tools you use.
