INTP, but I've taken this before and also gotten INTJ
This has some things that are not true but generally it's relatively accurate. That being said, I hate these tests because people then want to feel labeled in that part and don't want to expand or improve themselves on the issues that arise due to "Oh well I'm a ESTJ that's just how I am" rather than use these just as an opportunity to examine their strengths and weaknesses

INTJ
I've taken tests like these a number of times and every time I've gotten INTJ.

ENTJ.....sounds about right. It had me slightly extroverted, which is correct. In a familiar or comfortable setting, I'm highly extroverted. In unfamiliar situations, I tend to sit back and observe, and I also value my alone time. I've always been analytical and used intuition.....and I love it when a plan comes together.

ISTJ I think I read that's the best one.

As an ENTP, I could have told you that you aren't a thinker.

Pretty cool Lincoln was able to take the test posthumously.

INFJ - However, when reading the results, there were some things very accurate, and some thing which seemed quite opposite.

And I'm usually pretty skeptical about these things, but holy crap the write up was scarily accurate at points.
Me too. And Julia Stiles

This is a common error many folks make. They see Extrovert/Introvert and immediately think outgoing or recluse, when that is not the case. Similarly folks with see Thinker/Feeler and assume the feeler is not analytical when making decisions. The feeler just buts a little more weight on the affect the decision will have on the people as opposed to just the bottom line. The amount of weight one places on this human dynamic depends on how far left or right of the median he or she falls.
For instance Sam Walton was an ESFJ.I'm sure his feeling tendencies greatly added to his making an empire.

Finally, someone noticed! Wonder if he used a PC or an Apple product?

No hurt feelings and glad you brought it up; as it is a common misconception. We need to further understand our traits so we can set ourselves up for success. For instance a thinker would excel more in a profession whose work removes the human dynamic such as a statistician, accountant, and man of the STEM fields. Conversely a feeler is better served in positions where the human dynamic is prevalent. This is most likely why I chose to be a career Soldier, currently work in Human Resource Management, and am working toward being an ad hoc Professor.
These types of profession may not suit the thinker. They may be happier and more successful as a mathematician, program ananlyst. or IT. Of course we would have to know the other 3 traits to better determine this.

INTP I write scripts and programs. if this helps your analysis
For Accountant I would think one would need to be an E at least if running your own business as you deal with a lot of people face to face. if working for a large corp probly not so much

Maybe you should tell Jung it is a common misconception.
You may be interested in RightPath. It's similar. The website only lists the Atlanta Falcons as clients, but I know several NFL teams are clients.
The problem with these types of tests is they are subjective self assessments which can be steered by the individual. If the person taking the test isn't honest with themself or answering the questions the way they believe will help them secure a potential job or promotion the results aren't helpful. Although, I'm impressed by listening to my wife analyze the results of others the dynamic between their individual strengths and weaknesses.
