While I was laughing at the low-functioning irrational moron, you got hurt! I'm sorry. I try to be more sensitive to higher evolved beings.

Don't get TOO discouraged about the MBTI.
It took me, like, 5 years to place me... you're going faster than I did.
First, I tested as an INTJ. Pretty close to ENTJ, right? Well, check out my path from there?

intj->infj->enfj->intj->enfj->entj

The best way is to talk with other (relatively healthy) people of the type you think you are, and see how you relate. I would figure out what Keirey calls the NTs, SJs, NFs, or SPs, first. Those combinations work as a unit. Once you figure out that you are not one, you've eliminated 4 types.

Example: You'll probably eliminate SP right off, from what I know of you, so you've eliminated
estp
esfp
isfp
istp.

You also say you know you are an E, even though you like to work alone.
That's OK. It's where you focus your energy on: the outer world or the inner world? Ideas that will somehow affect the outer world counts as extroversion. You probably prefer working alone because you don't want others to alter your work from what you see fit. That's perfectionism, and indicates either a 1 or 3w4 enneagram type.

From my analysis, and that post describing your drive for results, you have these to choose from:
entj
estj

So you sound on track.

So, my advice, while you're laying in bed recovering, figure out if you are an NT or ST. That will greatly eliminate the possibilities. Do you deal with conceptualizing ideas or dealing with the gritty details?

Oh, and your leg? I'm sorry. I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and I'm not going anywhere.

I think you need to catch yourself when you get excited. I suffer from this, too. Fortunately, I have a bunch of SJs to catch me when I get too excited! Also, you're a 3. Keep up with appearances! (That motivates me.) Anyway, gotta go. Hope you figure stuff out in time to party.
