Hopefully this is my last "What's my type" thread. I've narrowed my type down to INTP or ENTP, but I don't know whether or not I'm introverted or extroverted. I thought I was an introvert, but recently I've been testing as extroverted.
I spend a lot more time thinking than doing. I'm a bit of a loner, and I don't get out much. However, I'm highly energetic. I'm highly gregarious, but only around people I'm somewhat familiar with (although I do make friends quickly with certain types of people, I'm not entirely "myself" with them until I really get to know them well). I'm very charming and I'm usually the joker of the group I'm in (but I'm not a Batman villain). But in certain situations (like talking to people that I know are going to be judgemental of what I say or do), I lose any hint of being articulate. I focus too much on their reaction, but I also think about my intonation, posture, amount of eye contact, volume of my voice and other little things like that so that I basically lose any fluency I might have normally had.
While I don't mind being alone, I find it boring sometimes, but if I'm going to be around people I don't know well, I might need some alone time regardless.
Also, I'm well known to play devils advocate. Often.
While I value logic (very highly), I also highly value "awesomeness".
I feel like all this points towards me being extroverted, but my need to recharge and my preference for thinking over doing (and I also do a lot of introspection) seems to suggest that I could still be introverted. Either way. I'm confused.
Could I just be a highly energetic/charismatic introvert?
