Hi, I'm new here! (And sorry for any mistakes I might make - English isn't my first language.) :hi:
I need some help figuring out the first part of my type. I'm pretty sure it's xNTP, but I can't decide if I'm extroverted or introverted. Especially as ENTPs are supposed to be the most introverted of all extroverts. I used to think of myself as an INTP, but then my friend said the ENTP description suited me very well and now I'm switching back and forth between those two.
I've looked up the cognitive functions and Ne seems to be dominant for me. On test I usually score as an INTP, but the questions usually concern going to parties and socialising with people. I love meeting new people, but only if I consider them to be "smart and interesting enough". I've no interest in small talk and if anybody attempts it, I simply get bored. I have tonnes of new ideas, but I wouldn't say they're very thought-through.
When I spend too much time with people, I feel the need to lock myself up in my room for a couple of hours. But when I spend too much time alone, I feel the need to talk to somebody. I usually act as if I was either five or fifty years old, there's no in-between. I'm extremely sarcastic and if somebody annoys me or makes a fool out of himself, there's a good chance I'll straight out tell him about it. I get bored very quickly and hate routine. Also, I would say that I quite like being the centre of attention, as long as it's me that puts myself in the spotlight.
Please, help - I'm confused
