You can try the handheld electronic one, also called "20Q". It's a
subset of the online test (they captured the online version, trimmed
it down and fit it in a portable device). Though there are several
versions of it as well (one of them is a tabletop one...). Supposedly
they are a bit more accurate because there's less items in its
database to mess it up.
