Sorry, that's not how that works, and I'm not taking on new requests from the general public right now--haven't been for years at this point.

If you want to test someone's skill in this area, you should always confirm their availability first, then ask them what kind of sample they want, and how the process will work from their end.

You should be willing to put your identity on the line in some way as testing quality collateral.

Otherwise, for one, it can look as if you, new user K69bLrdd5K28vX, may be likely to cut and run if the analysis doesn't turn out the way you thought / suspected / etc. Analysis of any quality takes a lot of time and effort and this kind of outcome is very disappointing.

You should also be willing to explain how you arrived at your personality type, i.e. is it only the reported (tested) type based on a free internet test, or is it "best-fit type" based on a recommended, integrative process designed and tested by a recognized publisher; were the test statistics made available to you for accuracy / reliability / test-retest, etc. and can you share those?

Anyone certified in type should know to emphasize this aspect, or else any testing based on a given type-constant is qualitatively compromised. (I hope you can see why a result that's simply derived from a free internet test with poor or unknown accuracy & reliability would complicate matters)

That's not to say it's not worth a test. A lot of idea-oriented types are interested in the concepts behind it, too. I always found that most INTPs were game, for example. Good luck to you.
