I was wondering if there is a full profile on LinkedIn that I can test my app on. By full I mean a profile which has all the fields and can be accessed publicly (using the LinkedIn API).

You need to create a LinkedIn app to allow users to log in to your site with their LinkedIn accounts. To create a new LinkedIn app, please do the following: Go to the LinkedIn developer site: https://developer.linkedin.com/. Click the “Create App” button on the banner.
LinkedIn allows you to sync your contact and email lists to locate members you may know. Remember: You need at least 50 connection to attain All-Star status. After you get 500 connections, your profile will display 500+. Irrespective of 501 or 50 million connections, it will show 500+ connections.
To reach All-Star status you need at least 50 connections. You can connect with others by sending them an invitation or by accepting their invitations. You can also jump start your connections by allowing LinkedIn to match you up with people from your email address book.
I don't know of any publicly accessible test profile and I would be suprised if there was.
Section II A. of the LinkedIn API TOS have this to say about test accounts:
For testing purposes only, you may create up to five LinkedIn accounts. Accounts must be created manually and not via any automated means, including scripts. These test accounts must not interact with non-test accounts (e.g. they must not be used to post messages in Groups), or be used to circumvent user limits. These accounts must have profiles that clearly identify them as test accounts, not have any profile positions at real companies besides your own, and be listed as Developers on your Developer Account.
