These were my scores for similarminds.com's Global 5 test, which put me at SCUEI (primary type Calm). SCUEI
corresponds to ENTP. Not willing to accept this at face value, I decided to look at every Global 5 type description and identify which fit me best. Then, I looked to see which MBTI types my best matches corresponded to. Below are the 2 descriptions that fit me best, plus the description corresponding to ESTP. Bolded characteristics are ones that
do not describe me. Note: each MBTI type has two corresponding Global 5 types. For each, one of the G5 types seems to be a "healthy" version, and the other, "unhealthy." None of the unhealthy descriptions matched well, so I focused on the healthy versions.

Results:
All 3 had a similar number of "incorrect" characteristics, but ESTP's stood out as blatantly wrong. This puts ESTP into doubt and brings ENTP back to the table. ENFJ is interesting because 1) it was my type when I first took the MBTI test as a child 2) it possesses the same cognitive functions as ESTP, which others here have identified as my likely type on the basis of funcitons.
Would you care to elaborate?
