So is a query this size with this many joins completely nuts, fairly
sensible or somewhere in between.  It seems to run well on my dev server,
but I've no idea how well mysql would handle this query under a load.

The basic makeup of the db is a profiles table with a profile_details table.
Each profile has 4 rows in the details table (one for each type - all of
which will be used).  Each profile type holds the same columns, data may
differ according to type.

This is 12 joins of 4 tables.
 
Oh and these are the phpmyadmin results:
