INFP here. Dunno approximate % of just how accurate what I've read over a 20 or so year span. . .BUT all 4 tests/books I've read & researched, plus a couple of practicing Pschologists (back in the 80's each one had asked me to take this Myers-Briggs test,) all books, net research, and 2 professionals one who happened to be an INFP herself, agree that my "type" makes or made up 1% of the world's population- or less.
