Don't forget that intj's have an immense desire for unterstanding how everything works. Because they have dominant Ni, everything they experience is immediately questioned, and their brain will usually sacrifice the experience itself for thinking about the implications of the experience. This need for understanding ties in really well into the jungian personality theory, while the stereotypical esfp, istj, etc. may take the test, but will usually not be interested enough to study such an abstract subject deeply or even post stuff about it.
Emotionally studying the jungian functions can make intj's feel understood which is a rare feeling for the typical intj. Added to that, understanding the mbti helps intj's understand people, it fits neatly into the intj study-focussed approach to social connections.
Many people misstype as intj, I think mainly because Ni is often missunderstood and because most test suck, just like people suck at taking the tests, but the high amount of intjs in the mbti community also comes from the fact, that this stuff is much more interesting to dominant intuitives than it is to especially Si/Se dominants.
