I had no time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one instead.

Hi!
During the past weeks I have spent quite some time browsing through the internet, making tests and so on to find out which personality type I belong to. I have made several tests; both here, Briggs Myers and some other.
The pattern that was clearly shown is that I am most likely an E. After doing approximately a handful of tests I feel like it's 50/50, I'm either ESTP or ENTP. Is this possible? Eventhough I find these two types quite different I can recognize my qualities in both of them.
My qualities both good and bad:
- I never got good grades in school. (I always thought I'd get higher grades than I actually did)
- My favourite subject was mainly sports and languages. In highschool those were still my strongest subjects, but also psychology and social studies.
- I have many acquaintances and friends and I think I'm quite appreciated among them.
- When I am alone for too long (12h) or so I start to get bad thoughts about things and I almost get into a depression mode.
- When in a company of friends only I am quite visible.. When I'm in a mixed crowd I try to stick to the ones I know best. But I like talking to strangers if they approach me first.
- I'm definately not the alpha-male type.
- I am very tolerant, adaptable and easy to be around.
- In unexpected, urgent situations I am the fastest to make the right decisions and give the right advice.
- I like gambling and I occasionally suggest it both against friends and strangers. (sports, poker, pool, "dares"...)
- I am a good loser in the aspect that I often respect my superior if he beats me in my game.
- I easily find and use my opponents weaknesses.
- I LOVE being the underdog. It happens that I pretend to be weaker to surprise people.
- I am very aware of manners and how to act in all sorts different occasions.
- I believe I have a talent to read peoples' expressions and body language.
- I have good memory for details, and memory in general and very observant
- Glamorous, elegant, expensive things attract me a lot.
- I dislike being bound to people or to plans. (Including relationships, which I never tried though)
- I love stretching the rules and limits and I am a bit unscrupulous.
- I have big plans for the future and I am very optimistic when it comes to anything.
- I have many ideas but very few are put into practice.
- I am often quite lazy.
- I am disturbed when people don't agree with me and I do all I can to change their minds. And I succeed.
- In general I dislike surprises.
- I'm bright and ingenius.
- I am good at motivating others, but I only motivate my closest ones.
- I resist being controlled by people.
- I dislike scheduals and working in routines.
- Sometimes I can be quite hard on others, but seldom on myself.
- It takes a lot for me to trust other people.
- My sense of humor is often dirty.
- When browsing on funny things on youtube I never laugh, but the smallest detail in general can make me burst out into laughter.
- I value knowledge and I prefer talking about intellectual topics.
- I can be very prejudgemental and it's hard to change my mind.
- It's hard for me to control my temptations.
I realised I was right about this was going to be a wall of text.
EDIT: If there's any important part that is needed to clarify which type I belong to, please write it down!
