Pantser?

I have several issues with the way people like to make binaries out of everything (I'm literally demisexual and enby, you can tell I don't like forced choices) and that plotter | pantser continuum in which people like to place writers gives me hives.
What do you call a person that:
  • makes a very general outline
  • does not follows the outline
  • writes scenes out of order just to see if said outline works, also because juicy scenes are better
  • makes "goal lists" for the inbetween scenes so they can work away the inconsistencies
  • still has to edit the hell out of everything because the characters have their own ideas of what should happen
  • ends up deleting half the juicy scenes
I've had people say I'm a chaotic plotter or lawful pantser (lol).
In any case, I got another day with my trusty notebook and the question: how do I even make this happen?
