This is my experience also.

Plus, she knows me objectively probably better than I know myself at this point.
In another echo of Usehername: Really? I can't quite imagine an INTJ whose spouse was mistyping them giving them this much credit.

I'm thinking that your gender, possibly your education/profession and especially having an ENTJ wife could have influenced you toward admiring NTJ qualities enough that you turn out INTJ on tests despite being e.g. INFP...? I know my ex, an ENFP, tested as the INTJ equivalent on this MBTI spoof test (this was before we heard about MBTI) after a couple of years of listening to me eulogize rationality.

Edit: This is not to put too much stock in your wife's typing. There are ENTJs out there who would type all ITJs as F and P.
