And in my job now I just talk to people for my entire shift.

Actual MBTI doesn't look at social extroversion/introversion though. Socially, I swing between extro/introversion, but with MBTI I'm an ENFP because my primary function is EXTROverted intuition (Ne), so cognitively extroverted. It's supposed to look at cognitive extro/introversion which is the way your primary function (thinking/feeling/sensing/intuition) is displayed. It's only the really dumb basic tests that are like, "you like parties, sex, have emotions, and were late once so you're an ESFP" that go that route while it was never intended that way. ESFPs in actuality just lead with extroverted sensing (Se) which means they're good at being present in and interacting with their surroundings. An INFJ or ISFJ whose secondary function is extroverted feeling (Fe is basically a "people-ing" function) will probably be more socially extroverted than an ENFP who is considered an extrovert due to Ne and has secondary Fi (introverted feeling).
