I don't think there are any 'good' intelligence tests since they've proven most are horribly biased, and we don't even understand intelligence that well as of yet.

Also, the Myers-Briggs test I mentioned returns a personality type, not an aptitude level. It says what traits you rely on to make decisions and view the world. It doesn't state how well you do those.

The test tries to infer how you act from what you're good at doing. That seems a bit biased to me.
Hmm.... Does anyone actually read these anyway?
