So it looks like I'm dealing with yet another identity crisis.

For reference. Right now I feel torn between INTP or ENTP in regards to my personality type. Given how tightly knit and similar the two personalities are, it's difficult discern my true personality. Most people tend to label me as an INTP, however, I could never fully identify with all intricacies of said personality (I never mean to be meticulous -- I just happen to notice things other can't). I also have little interest and patience for left-brained activities such the hard sciences and mathematics (too dry for my tastes). Am I truly an ENTP or perhaps a completely different personality? I guess that's up for you guys to decide.
1-what makes you angry?
To be honest, not many things rile me up. It really depends on the context of the situation and the individuals involved. Generally speaking, uncompromising and personalities and injustice tend to grind my gears. The former because I can't see why it's so difficult to reach a feasible compromise, and the latter because, well because I can't see why someone would want to harm someone with good intentions. Also rude and narcissistic characters are a huge turn off for me.
2-what do you like/dislike most about people?
The fact that humans feel the need and urge to compete with each other over external accomplishments. What precisely makes the average college student different than the Ivy League student? Does success equate to someone's true potential? Personally, I don't believe so.
3-do you like animals? why?
I know quite a bit about a quite a few species of animals (more so than anyone else in my family), and while I do enjoy their company, I just see them sort of...boring you could say? IMO, they lack the creativity and imagination that humans possess, and enjoying them from afar is something I do indulge in. And if it's of any assistance, the differentiating lines between humanity and the rest of the animal kingdom is a huge obsession of mine.
4-what do you like most about the favorite people in your life?
Compassion and understanding. Literally. Perhaps they don't understand what I'm going through but at least they're willing to listen and offer advice (even if I'm too stubborn to take it). And the people I tend to look up to, well, I admire them because of the mark they've placed on this Earth, and the fact that they have the endurance and discipline to become successful in their respective fields.
5-what do you like/dislike most about yourself?
Hah. Lots of things. My inability to commit to anything (I was planning out short story set in Ming Dynasty China until I started procrastinating and ended up here), my social awkwardness, my lack of self-esteem, and my passiveness.
6-do you care about being fashionable? why/why not?
Not when I was younger by I certainly do now. Generally speaking I enjoy expressing myself through dress and accessories.
you prefer to fit in or stand out?
Stand out, of course.
8-what activities do you enjoy?
Thinking (literally you could pay me to sit around and daydream), listening to music, brainstorming, and keeping myself busy with simple activities such as chores or engaging in a walk. I tend to get restless rather easily. (I'm rarely sitting down for too long and I'm always digging for excuses to move about.)
9-what makes you feel secure?
Just being around like-minded people and fun-loving people who enjoy a good jest or can enjoy a joke. They allow me to loosen my shell and I feel safe enough to express myself.
10-do you like being in a relationship? why/why not?
I've fancied the idea but commitment is sort of terrifying, imo. My biggest fear is that I'll grow bored of said person and want to move on, or discover that I didn't really admire them as I thought I had.
11-what do you love and why? Could be people, things, places, etc...
Fun-loving individuals, private moments where I can sit down to write/think, playing video games, traveling (I could never be in one place for too long), studying different cultures & history, reading, watching TV, engaging in a solitary sport (e.g., track), mingling with like-minded people, and talking about my passions to people who are less versed in them.
12-what do you spend the most time thinking about?
Human nature, existence, story ideas I could employ in the future, etc.
13-How much have you changed over the years? Who were you as a child?
I was still pretty shy as a child but I did have a tendency to get into trouble because of mouth (even as a child I didn't tolerate disrespect), cry when caught in vulnerable moments, or say act in erratic ways to prove a point. Now I'm more melancholic/depressed, restless, wry, and creative than I was as a youth.
