Gibson's site is a good start, and it's excellent for educational 
purposes.  But his tests are minimal.  He only tests about 6-8 ports.

The DSLreports test at http://www.secure-me.net or 
http://www.dslreports.com/secureme offers a much more complete test.  
Their free scan checks more ports than Gibson's test (at least it 
used to, but it doesn't seem to cover quite as much as it used to?). 
For a modest fee ($10 for a 1-week license, $39? for a year) you can 
get more extensive tests.  License holders also jump to the head of 
the scan queue.  Well worth it IMHO.

DSLreports also has a quickie freebie scan at 
http://www.dslreports.com/scan

BTW, DSLreports uses different terminology than Gibson.  What Gibson 
calls "Stealth," they call "Filtered."
