1. Is the noise "pattern" different for high ISO ratings and long exposure
times?
2. Do I need a different profile for the two types of noise in Image Ready?

Thanks,
Cooter

OOPS! That should be Neat Image, not Image Ready. Sorry.

You need a profile for each ISO you shoot in.

"Digital noise" varies with ISO, shutter speed, and temperature at the time
of exposure.

I can't answer your second question, sorry.

Hi Jeremy, nice to see you here. I had no idea you were interested in
photography!

And yes, you're correct. As for the OP's second question, yes, you need
different noise profiles.

I tried the test target. I found for whatever reason the noise I get on
location was always different. Whether it's shutter speed, ISO setting,
room temperature, camera temperature, color temperature of the
illumination... whatever. There's just too many things changing. I only
takes a minute to build a profile, I always have a profile that matches
well with my images and I don't have to keep track of a bunch of
different profiles.

Maybe I could take a photo of a gray scale target out in the field.
