I dug my files out of the abyss, and found that the assessment I did long ago was Self-Directed Search (SDS) by Psychological Assessment Resources (PAR)-that was the good one, but it was in a booklet.
This is all I could find that's relevant (these links are all from the same site):

This is the map; when you answer a million questions, the map indicates exactly were you are in terms of cognitive strenghts and interests:

You might be able to get a free student account-I'm not sure. I do know that community colleges and state employment offices offer these tests--maybe they can be done at home?
This is one I did through a uni, but it ain't cheap:

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. There's a million online, but noticed many don't look all that great and they all want at least 10 bucks anyway.
Obsidian-you could take that other test again; I've scored INFJ and INTJ several times each; there's always one letter that dominates; for example, my "N" is steady at roughly 90%. It could turn out different next time :)
Kath-You could call an employment office or local community-type college and ask their student services office about free tests for your son.
Best,
Garnet
