I'd say he seems too articulate/comfortable talking about his personal vision in detail to be ESTP...and too detached/technical when speaking about his process to be EFP. He almost seems to approach making a film as if it were an amusing experiment/mix-and-matching of genres, as opposed to something of true personal resonance; he simply portrays a story and any moral/ethical message you could take from it is either incidental, or there for the sake of genre convention.
Take Inglorious Basterds for example; rather than expand on the story of the young Jewish woman living in Nazi-occupied France who had her family murdered earlier in the film, Tarantino chose to spend most of the plot following The Basterds and their 'badass' antics, conveniently throwing the Jewish girl in towards the end of the film - gun in hand, preparing to blow up a theater full of Germans as she gives her poorly developed male love interest a passionate kiss on the mouth.
While I enjoy his films for what they are, they don't seem like something that would be made by someone with a genuine feeling preference..at least not with that level of consistency over the course of a 20 year career.
