The basic definition of these terms usually has to do with whether or not you draw energy from other people, right? You're more or less this or that, one or that, neither and both. Naturally. But either of the two is a bit more work, while the other is a bit more rest.
In my personal case, there's no doubt whatsoever. People simply DRAIN me. I do not dislike people, but there is always other things being more interesting.
I've never experienced being bored when I'm alone, I never long for company. Paradise seems to be a place with all sorts of different suroundings but no other people. Where I can for ever explore, think, invent and build without other humans intruding and interferering.
'But what's the point making things if nobody ever gets to see them?'
Why...??
I get to see these things. What difference would it make showing the stuff to others? They have no reason being interested in the things I'm fiddling with.

If unsure about being INTP or ENTP, you're likely a ENTP. So I've read.
My dominant function is very clearly intuition. I'm not the one 'considering' before acting. I really can't relate to that concept at all. Procrastinating - YES, but not considering. If I act, it's still a matter of impulse. Thinking is a matter of evaluation. And regret...
Emotional stuff is always something dialectical, related to the outside world. I'm very sensitive to the feelings of others. Not just that I believe to be, I usually prove to be right, where typically emotional people are WRONG. I'm the one picking up signals, being touched, etc. It's nothing with systems of personal values, it's how I relate to other people.
I'm aware that the ENTP type is actual supposed to be the most introverted of all extraverts. More withdrawn than INFJ and ISFP. But nevertheless EXTRAVERTED. Drawing energy from the company of other people.
(Well, I actually very much DO draw energy from others, but not to myself... I imagine other people are usually completely drained and and exhausted after having enjoyed my company. However - it's not that it reloads me. I'll be just as exhausted as they are...)

More vulgar online tests usually calculate score in a mechanical linear way.
Some of them type me a classically ambivert - neither extraverted nor introverted, however with a slight indication towards extraversion. Some them type me as extremely extraverted, drawing the conclusion I'm the kind who would fade out and disappear without enjoying the company of other humans.

The questions are usually about dealing with groups of people. I like being the centre of attention, I don't mind speaking loudly in front of a large group or make contact with strangers, but doing so usually is something I do for others. Others are embaressed, not me, so I'll do that job if I believe it may be of any value. If it can make others feel more appreciated.
I constantly move between different groups. Simply because it gives me a feeling of freedom and control. I get the big picture, others never get a chance of getting to know me. Large groups of people drain me, but close relations drain me even more.
I'm also very much a teamworker. But simply because I do not get anything done on my own.

But if there actually is a choice... being alone or being with other people, I never ever hesitate. Even if it would be a choice for the rest of my life. Or even for the rest of Eternity...
