I'm pretty sure I'm an INTP, and I agree with roughly 70% of the post. However, (despite it being flattering) the thing that just doesn't make sense to me is the 1st point (walking database of facts). I really can't imagine any personality type who'd hoard facts for the heck of it. Unless they find rote memorization fun. I, personally, only care about facts on topics that interest me. For example, I'm a major space nerd (specifically manned space travel). My knowledge in this area is very deep and I know a lot of facts regarding this subject. But I know nothing about fish physiology. In fact (as much as I hate to admit it) my knowledge in fish biology is quite limited. I'm not sure if I misinterpreted what your first point meant, but I disagree with it.
