I got ESFP??
Hmmm. You should probably make sure you're taking the "long form" of the test, and might want to take it with guidance from a book on the topic (or a professional, to explain and clarify questions for you). Unlike many other tests, MBTI doesn't try to trick you into contradicting yourself, and your score will be MORE accurate if you take the test with someone familiar with it who can clarify the questions for you and make sure you understand what they're asking.
Here's one big tip insofar as the "extroversion/introversion" questions go -- the test isn't asking what you're capable of
enduring without having a meltdown, what your current daily environment (that might very well have been imposed upon you) demands, or how society expects you to be... it's asking what kind of environment makes you feel good & happy.
Be brutally honest. MBTI doesn't have "trick questions". Don't give an answer just because you think it's the one that's morally right, socially-acceptable, responsible, admirable, or otherwise the way you think you SHOULD be. If you're still coming up with "E", even if you take the test with professional counseling to walk you through each answer and make sure you're fully understanding what each question is asking, it's almost inconceivable that you're aspie.
Out of all the axes, E/I is probably the most non-negotiable when it comes to Aspiedom. However, "false positive" Extroversion answers are also really common, especially among Aspies with ADD (which is strongly implied by "xxxP", but not necessarily ruled out by a weak "xxxJ"). Why? Due to the way many of the questions "read", it's easy to misinterpret impulsive and ADD-ish behavior as "extroversion". Back in school, my classes fell into two extremes -- I was either bored, invisible, oblivious to everything around me, and reading chapter 27 while the rest of the class was on chapter 5, or I totally dominated the class, and practically had to be bound & gagged to let the other students get a word in edgewise. The first few times I took MBTI (on my own), I misinterpreted that as evidence of "extroversion", and allowed it to color my answers.
