Hi, I'm needing some help to type my bf. Hoping you guys can give me some insights

1) Inspired Entrepreneur - wants to build a honest business
2) Thrifty, does not like branded stuff. Goes for practical and value for money goods.
3) Enjoys travelling and natural athlete. Love sports and likes to experience life. Competitive nature
4) Not active on social media, in fact, he finds it a hassle and dislike leaving digital footprints. Sees his phone as a productivity tool
5) Enjoys everything in moderation - food, smoke, drinks etc
6) During emotional confrontation - he tends to be defensive and shuts off emotions. He said he likes to be in control and melting down is a sign of weakness. This is even for his close relationships. But he is OK with a calm discussion/ thrash talk of our issues and he tends to be more open.
7) He come across sensitive if words that I say seems harsh and direct and he gets defensive again.
8) Problem solver - fix things mentality
9) Believes that he can go on a month of no-connectivity (no TV, wifi etc) trip
10) Enjoys socialising, enjoys having adrenaline rush, enjoys being the centre of attention in professional ways
11) His perfect day - At the beach, beer with his partner
12) Puts up a image/front and says things that sounds nice but he dont mean it (For example, once he asked a tour guide to join us for dinner but didn't mean it. He just wants him to feel good.) Sometimes quite unauthentic - will tend to do things because it looks nice/ feels nice or have hidden agenda. Manipulative in that sense
13) Believe actions more than words
14) Wants to start a family and have kids. Have long/mid/short term goals for his relationship
15) Values can be scratchy - He understands if a husband goes out for 'special sexual services' if he is not able to be satisfied in his marriage, although morally he knows its wrong. Seems to be able to justify a wrong action if he wants to...
16) 5 relationships in his life - 1 lasted for 1 month, another for 2 months, 3rd relationship lasted for 9 months and the 4th for 6 months. I am his 5th relationship. He had a 5 years gap from his last relationship and me but went on dates.
17) He said what attracted me to him are my strong moral values and our common interest.
18) Enjoys strategising and creating and implementing but dislike following up operations or administrative work.

I'm leaning towards ESTP but his ability to detach from 'action' and just be in solidity is making me doubt that. Do you guys have any insights?

Overall, although he may not be the stereotypical all action, devil may care ESTP, I think he sounds like one.
