Pah!

Seconded. I find the online tests to be useful only for entertainment purposes. Who knows how much they fudge the end result so they can sell you an "in-depth analysis."
I think the most important thing is just being comfortable with yourself. Easier said than done, of course--but I don't think these tests work toward that goal. As soon as you start ranking how good your brain is on a number scale, it can cause all kinds of discomfort and self-consciousness. That energy is better spent reading a book, hanging out with people, watching a movie, cooking, working on your car, etc.
