My boyfriend looked at the 4 different choices for the myers briggs test, he chose ESTP. However, there are qualitites that dont fit. He's older and may just be wiser and more developed in areas that matter. Please let me know what you think, what type he seems to be or multiple he could be with developed areas, or if you have any questions that i can answer to get an answer

thanks

He is an entrepreneur.
He easily can debate.
No bullshit personality
He likes a challenge
He likes small groups of people yet can be the most loved in a big group.
He can get whatever he wants when he wants something (I fear he could manipulate or lie, but that he would believe that lie because i would make him aware of my thoughts on it- could make him believe the lies because now its even more of a challenge he must win- but thats not a fact, just what it seems to me)
Hes respectful
Hes fun
Hes funny
Hes witty
He's very flirtasious
Hes not insensitive with ME, but is with others (jokes, and being blunt)
He is slightly immature (youth inside)
He works out (but only recently, and only to keep up appearance)
He cares about what he eats but drinks so much beer and pain killers
He likes his style but doesnt mind wearing a shirt that has old paint on it
He is romantic with me (says sweet things, holds my face, caresses my arm)
He seems like a bit of a hard-ass (can judge and over react quickly)
He seems slightly insecure
He cares about people and how to treat people (due to his shitty family as a youth)
He likes risk (or not having to be responsible all the time)
He gets in these mood (a funk where he feels shitty and angry for what he says is no reason)
He seems a little selfish (but that may be the no bullshit behaviour due to his family as a youth)
He's a kid on the inside
He is reserved and has a wall up with most people.
He has a "bubble" and doesnt like to be touched
It seems to me that he could lie, assure someone everything is okay when it's not (to not deal with something, or worse- to just lie to get what he may want)
He has a routine for his mornings.
He seems very care-free mostly
He says he doesnt judge others
He doesnt like to put his problems on anyone

Shot in the dark maybe but I got an xNTP/xSTP vibe. One of my friends sounds like that and he is ENTP. If not I don't see why ESTP couldn't work if not ENTP. However you mentioned a lot of things that mention that he may be introverted which makes me think ISTP. But you said he has higher realms of feeling too which makes me think he has to have Feeling in the top three of his stacking. INTP and ISTP's have inferior feeling (it's their last functions, they have very low Fe). Expression of feeling threw affection is a very Fe like symptom and with ENTP's or ESTP's he would have access to Fe in his top 3 functions and the function could be more easily accessible in order of preference/expression. So that's why I am leaning more on the extroverted side function wise.

I'm detecting an extroverted vibe (E), Ti>Fe with strongly expressed extroverted Feeling.

Se/Ne + Ti + Fe = ESTP or ENTP

If he is introverted I would say maybe ISTP or INTP with very strong Fe. From your descriptions he sounds T > F.

I don't think any of the points you posted rule out ESTP. A lot of those points could apply to all types and some even support ESTP. Maybe he has a well-developed Fe. I think ESTP sounds good though.

Could also be ENFP or maybe ESFP too (but I'd think ENFP -- the thing about not liking to be touched, compulsive drinking and pain killers might point toward some inferior Si).

What do you mean inferior Si? Youre saying he seems more F than S then? And how come, because of what i wrote about drinking and pain killers gives you that conclusion? Ive always been confused with the different types, because we basically have moments of each, we just are choosing the ones we moreso often use
