Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - I don't understand them.

So you have:

Extraversion/Introversion
Sensing /iNtuition
Thinking/Feeling
Judging/Perceiving

But everyone does the last three of the four, so what happens if they're pretty much equal? Say you think a lot but you also feel a lot? And how are juding and perceiving opposites?

Everyone does all of them. It's just that there's one in each category that a person prefers using.
The Judging/Perceiving category tells which function is extroverted. If the person prefers Judging, then the Thinking/Feeling is extroverted, and if the person prefers Perceiving, then Sensing/iNtuition is extroverted.
In the case of an ESTP, the person prefers first Extraverted Sensing, and then Introverted Thinking.

I'm sure that only served to confuse you more, but that is the answer.
Hopefully it did help you to start understanding it better.

Thank you for the explanation, even though I am still confused. I think I will leave it at that
