I'm an INTP myself.
Mark Line is an INTJ (as the topic of personality types came up at a
west-coast conlang-dinner I attended on a trip out there).
I do indeed tend to create elaborate languages, and concentrate more on the
structure than on applying them. For instance, Dapnant caesed to progress
because the lexicography became unworkable for me to manage. Phrasal verbs
with 2-3 different prepositions (one per argument) were too hard to
document/integrate.
