I generally test out as an INFJ, sometimes varying to INFP or or ISFJ. But reading about the types and modes of thinking and relating, I am squarely in the INFJ camp.
(By the way, if you read ANYTHING about type percentages, that is more bogus than anything. Such percentages are taken from the "official" results of MBTI testing given by psychs [if it's taken from anything official at all], so it isn't a very good representative sample, and you only get one shot. Since we all vary a little bit between the "types" throughout life as we develop the various cognitive functions, if you take the test at a wacky time, you'll be officially considered that type by the statistics, regardless if that's actually an accurate reflection of your personality or not.)
For my spiritual/religious practices--I much prefer to work alone in my path, without having to answer to other people's paradigms. (strong Introverted iNtuition) And my own internal paradigm is based on what "sounds" or "feels" right or wrong--I'm pretty weak when it comes to objectively evaluating things like that. I don't really have much observable consistency in my beliefs, as much as I try (not as strong Introverted Thinking). I am fairly empathetic, in the non-magical sense, and so much of what I actually do magically isn't for me but to help and protect those close to me (strong Extroverted Feeling). And I don't know how Extraverted Sensing (and my relative weakness in it) relates to my spiritual practices, so. I'll let that be.
ETA
All though, I do try to match my various "sabbats" with what is going on in the world around me. I keep my solstices on the days that are actually the longest or shortest, instead of a random calendar date. If it still looks like winter, I'm not going to celebrate Imbolc. Also, I prefer to celebrate my solar return (the day of the year where the Sun returns to the degree it was in on the day you were born) as opposed to my birthday, at least as far as anything spiritual goes.

I came up as an INFP when I tested myself for the only fun unit in Economics. XD
It makes a lot of sense, particularly in the context of my religious development. "INFPs have a gift for interpreting symbols, as well as creating them." I love working with the symbols in my dreams, and learning about different types of religious symbolism. I'm getting a lot of practice with symbolism, simile, and metaphor in my literature class. "They have a natural interest in scholarly activities and demonstrate, as do the other NF's, a remarkable facility for languages." I definitely love studying things that interest me, and I like learning languages. This is helpful when I try to draw on other cultures for inspiration. Morality was mentioned as one of the big things that INFPs grapple with, and that's always been a huge area of interest for me, particularly in developing my religion.
This is kind of cool. I'm glad someone made a post about it, because it's an interesting thing to consider.
