So I'm not sure what you're trying to figure out. You are saying you are caught between wondering if you are really an Extraverted Intuitive, a thinking type, or a feeling type?
First thing to do would be to figure out which of those you are (forget trying to be a XXXX type for a minute). Do you prefer thinking over feeling? Do you prefer sensation (down-to-earth, in the moment, here and now) to intuition (always reading between the lines, never taking anything at face values). The two are philosophical opposites so one should stand out as being more 'you' than the other.
If indeed you identify most with Extraverted Intuition and Extraverted Feeling fine. I would just call yourself a Ne-Fe ENFP (I know technically this isn't allowed in MBTI but there are all sorts of theoretical reasons why Ne-Fe would not be as uncommon as you think). If you absolutely must have an MBTI type to make you happy then the only extraverted types with Ne and Fe are ENTP and ESFJ. One is an intuitive that leans toward thinking, the other is a Feeling type that leans toward sensation.
