You present an impossibility for INTPs in point #3, and it's also a fundamental misunderstanding of what's going on for an INTP. INTPs, like all types, prefer not to make mistakes, but investing an extra 15/20% in the planning stage doesn't constitute some manner of inaction. Further, it's psychologically quicker, because of the extra time spent in the planning phase, for an INTP to reevaluate, redesign and reimplement a process mid-project than it is for both for other types to do so, including INTJs, and than it is to brute force a solution through a continous process of elimination, as INTJs seem to prefer to do ... which is hugely tedious for INTP brains. It's about where time is spent ... INTPs are much faster in implementation even if it looks like they're throwning out the baby with the bathwater, because they've spent that extra time upfront considering other possibilities, that they know will work. INTJs preference for Ni over Ne might mean that they're less apt to jump between approaches to a problem in finding a solution mid-process, but it doesn't make they're approach more valid, effective or speedier than an INTP approach ... it's just more comfortable for them, and recogniseable to other J types and therefore more widely accepted.
The INTJ process is equally uncomfortable for the INTP, possibly, in part, because it will likely rely getting others to toe the line, rather than allowing the INTP to minimise potential errors by working them all through in advance, by themselves. We, INTPs, are just more efficient in a different sphere of the process, and prefer to conceptualise an entirely new process for each problem upfront rather than rehashing historic patterns on the go.
