I'll answer these questions for me specifically -- not presuming to be able to answer for other ESTx's.
what do you guys do on your spare time?
I spend a LOT of time with my friends. We have movie nights, dinner parties, we go out searching for new restaurants, we walk around the city, we mix drinks and watch YouTube videos... anything, really, as long as we're shooting the shit and having fun. (My love language is Quality Time, so it hardly matters what I do with my friends as long as we're all together.)

Unrelated to friends, food, travel, or exploring, I like to make things. Music, cooking, DIY, whatever -- as long as it's a creative outlet and involves the satisfaction you get from delivering an excellent final product. :)
What do you dispise about the world?
Hypocrisy and ignorance. Especially hypocrisy. We've never been able to come up with a set of rules that we could stick to without weaseling our way out of some of them, for "special cases".
WHat do you guy major or in or plan to major in?
World History -- focused on theology, political science, and the modern history of Arab-European relations.
Which personality types do you find the most difficult to deal with?
I don't think I have an answer to that. It depends too much on other factors.
How would you feel or act if things weren't "normal" or "in control"?
Depends on the type of "not normal" or "not in control" you're talking about. What scenario do you have in mind?

If our society we currently live in was to for example be a war ground, or if people behave in a weird way or anyway that's beyond the norm of which most people behave, but in a way that's a legal. I hope thats a good explanation

Hm.

In a situation where any sort of law and order has disappeared, I think the first thing I'd do is try to figure out the new lay of the land. i.e. I'd need to adapt, and quickly. I'd try to adapt in a way that meshed well with my principles, but if I couldn't survive without violating a principle or two... not gonna lie, I'd probably rationalize myself out of it. It would become an "ends justify the means" kind of situation, especially when it would come to my/my friends/my family's survival/safety.

Throughout this whole process, I'd probably put my feelings aside and logic my way through it all. Or at least, try to. In a state of emergency, there's no time for mourning the loss of the status quo.

Read, watch movies/TV shows, follow current events.

What do you dispise about the world?
I don't think there's any way I can be concise about that.

WHat do you guy major or in or plan to major in?
That's up in the air for now. Tentatively, public policy.

Which personality types do you find the most difficult to deal with?
Beats me.

How would you feel or act if things weren't "normal" or "in control"?
"When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout."
