I'm not sure some of those questions would have been accurate, in my case, though. I have always tested INTP, the usual descriptions fit perfectly, and I barely have a scrap of J in me. But I always lived a fantasy life in my head as a kid, I always imagined myself in the future (though I didn't necessarily make concrete plans), and if a teacher gave a stupid assignment, I didn't even stress that much over it--I'd do it quickly in class so I could read a book or spend the rest of the time in my head. If I'm stressed out, I tend to shut down and do mind-numbing things, as long as it's just stuff like overloading, but if it's something that's frustrating me and causing me to question my abilities, I might get a bit emotionally strung out.
I think from your questions, though, you'd have probably said I was INTJ, and I know I'm not INTJ. *shrugs*
Yeah, no tiebreaker works for everyone. Since the INTP descriptions fit you, face-to-face we wouldn't even be trying to break the tie. The questions are designed to get at dominant/inferior patterns but even having a sibling who is slightly different and your constant playmate can accelerate (or stymie) type development...
