I want the test to return my Jungian "personality type" with a detailed description of the type.

Not sure if you specifically do want Jungian types, or if you'd accept the MBTI (which incorporates the Jung types and takes them out another step).
The eight Jungian types were used by Myers and Briggs to create the MBTI personality test -- the one that many people are today familiar with.
Jung did not use the open vs. closure factor (J vs. P) that Myers added to her test. He just had the introveted and extroverted types for Thinking, Feeling, Intuition, & Sensation (i.e., eight). With the fourth factor added, MBTI has sixteen types.
The Humanmetrics link above will test for your MBTI type -- it is not a pure Jungian test. I don't really know anyone who tests purely for Jungian, since Jung was more theoretical and Myers wanted to translate Jung into practical usage.
The MBTI has four basic archetypes (in addition to the specific type) based on the four letters of the type -- ST, SF, NT, and NF, or Sensing Thinking, Sensing Feeling, Intuitive Thinking, and Intuitive Feeling.
David Keirsey (at Keirsey.com -- free test there) developed a varation of the MBTI that uses a slight variation of archetype. He felt that the types were better categorized as SJ, SP, NT, and NF (judging sensing, perceiving sensing, intuitive thinking, and intuitive feeling).
[I generally agree with Keirsey in terms of useful categories that his clumping is more "predictive" of behavior.]
So you can visit humanmetrics.com if you'd like. Keirsey's test is a bit longer.

I entered Meyers/Briggs Personality profile in my browser and got several interesting responses. Unfortunately I do not know how to copy and paste to this window.
And the book "Please Understand Me" by Dr. Richard Kiersey has the 70 question test included. Do not recommend "Please Understand Me II", thought it was very watered down version of the original book. Peace.
