I'm also an INTP. I took a test a while back that really changed my thinking. From what I've read, brain research has shown that we do our thinking in one or more of four lobes of the cortex (I'm oversimplifying).
Just as everyone has a prefferred hand (left or right) to use, everyone has a prefferred lobe. The electrical resistance in the pathways in non-prefferred lobes is estimated to be up to 100 times greater than in prefferred lobes.
I prefer using the frontal right area (which matches INTP very well). Here's the site that discusses brain leads: http://benziger.org/ The test can also be downloaded from this site. It's not cheap, but has been well worth it for me.
They also sell a book on the site that's been fascinating for me. It's called "Thriving in Mind"
Here are the four types in a nutshell: http://www.benziger.org/BTBD.html
