INTJs never appeared to me as "nerds." To me, they always seemed driven to master their own realm. This realm, of course, may be academia or some related area, but it need not be. In other words, they don't try to be the smartest or get the best grades in school because they want to be a genius. They simply want to be the best. Standard will not satisfy an INTJ.
I think INTJs are just as (if not more) likely to look outside of academia for personal development if they decide that it would be useful to develop non-"nerdy" skills.
Then again, we're also pretty stubborn, so if an INTJ decided there wasn't any point in doing anything but attending LAN parties and pwning math and physics, then yeah, they'd be nerdier.
I tried to fit us into boxes, but dammit, it's not happening. I still voted INTP though, nyeh nyeh.
