My Myers-Briggs type is ENTP. Does that make me more Yin or Yang?

I'm not familiar with that interpretation of the MB personality

types. All I remember about it is that I'm really into

oneupmanship. I also remember that I really struggled with the last

(4th) test. My score was only one point difference making me a P,

and I couldn't decide if being a P really accurate or not. I took

that test about 15 yrs. ago, so it's been awhile.
