My doubts in typical MBTI tests to determine preferences for Judging and Perceiving were confirmed by the number of tidy and punctual Ps. For instance, I'm certain that most declared ISTJs on this forum are actually organized ISTPs.
Likewise, I've stated elsewhere on this forum that extraversion seems to manifest itself differently in each type (to say nothing of individual personalities and learned behavior).

That's the key. "Party" questions in tests only seem useful for determining certain types; or perhaps only a few personalities or cultural identities. Do I care for parties? It depends. I don't hobnob, yet wouldn't hesitate to be under a flattering spotlight if events or conversation led me there. Crowds invigorate me; yet I don't like fairs or other long-hour events in which my control over use of time is limited. I enjoy building systems, but increasingly find coordination of specialists (and the delegation of system-building) more rewarding.It's weird because all NTs are aloof, distant, and disengaged, so ENTs are sorta paradoxes, although some seem more stereotypically extroverted than others. In that sense, yes, E's can definitely have strong introverted tendencies if their "conditions" for extroverting aren't met
