Yes, my husband is an INTP and I agree that that probably would be considered a Systemising (sp?) brain type. I think I remember taking those quizzes, but I can't remember how I scored and the link in the article didn't like me just now. On the Right/Left brain tests I come out balanced. On standardized/IQ tests, I suck at visual/spatial and math and tend to score above average on other portions with the highest scores in verbal. My husband scores better on everything than I do except I sometimes barely edge him out on verbal sections. I don't know if any of that is relevant.
Edit: As far as having kids goes, you at least are extroverted, so that may be something to balance things out (though one of our sons is extroverted, too). It is a little scary and that is one of the many reasons I do not want to have more children. But our sons are 9 and 11 and at this point, the autism isn't a huge deal. I mean, their thought processes aren't always consistent with what works irl and the sensory stuff can be a pain, but at least they are logical.
