Check the links below to find tests; each of the sites should have their own personality test. Just be sure to answer what you would typically do in a situation, not what you did that one time that you happen to remember. If you find yourself struggling, take the test with someone who knows you well, and remember to take the results with a grain of salt. The best way to really figure out your type is to understand the various functions and attitudes. There's a link at the end of the post for a very helpful podcast from the ever insightful Personality Hackers to help you figure it out.
The 16 Personalities
The first part of this post is a series of descriptions. Here's the format:
[Attitude] [Primary Function]/[Auxiliary Function] (i.e. an ENFP would be "Extroverted Intuitive/Feeling").
Primary function: Sensation
Introverted sensation/thinking: ISTJ (“The Reliable”)
ISTJ’s primary mode of living is focused internally, where they take things in via their five senses in a literal, concrete fashion ("memory;" taking in sensory information and integrating that which is meaningful). Their secondary mode is external, where they deal with things rationally and logically (“effectiveness;” wants to get things done, asks “Does this work?” without regard to personal feelings, concerned with practical application). They're comfortable with solitude and reflection; pay attention to facts and details; and have an awareness of their internal experience. Quiet, serious, earn success by thoroughness and dependability. Practical, matter-of-fact, realistic, and responsible. Decide logically what should be done and work toward it steadily, regardless of distractions. Take pleasure in making everything orderly and organized - their work, their home, their life. Value traditions and loyalty.
One of the most disciplined of the types; long term oriented marathoners; careful, thoughtful, and detail oriented. They tend to look to the past, to see how things were done. This gives them a starting place, a way to “prime the pump” to get started. BUT it takes them a very long time, and a lot of energy, to get started. Need to ration their energy, and to make sure of a thing before they say “yes” to it… they often never feel ready to say “yes”, though. Their main problem is fear of the unknown; they can’t predict what’s going to happen, or be certain that they’re going to be ready for it. They need to remember that trying and failing is better than never doing anything, and done is better than perfect; no one can ever be 100% ready. However, taking some action, even if it means failing, is how you become more ready the next time you try. Becoming acclimated to the kinds of surprises the world can throw at you is the only real way to be truly prepared. To get motivated, they need to tap into their vision of how things should be in the world; they need to get into their Effectiveness driver; things just need to get done so you just have to get into action. Quietly systematic, factual, organized, logical, detailed, conscientious, analytical, responsible, pragmatic, critical, conservative, decisive, stable, concrete, efficient.
Introverted sensation/feeling: ISFJ (“The Preserver”)

They're comfortable with solitude and reflection; pay attention to facts and details; and have an awareness of their internal experience. Quiet, friendly, responsible, and conscientious. Committed and steady in meeting their obligations. Thorough, painstaking, and accurate. Loyal, considerate, notice and remember specifics about people who are important to them, concerned with how others feel. Strive to create an orderly and harmonious environment at work and at home.

Table
Note: remember that the MBTI organizes the types by the main extroverted function. For extroverts this is easy; just look for the category of your primary function (feeling and thinking are rational/judging functions; sensation and intuition are irrational/perceiving functions). Introverts are trickier because the main function they extrovert with is their second function; if you’re an introvert, look for the category of your secondary function.
