Oh yes, of course. That is always in mind.
The issue with the difference between INTJ and INTP is that most descriptions of either are to describe to the layman (who is usually neither) rather than the differences between the two. Too many people find that there's a lot of overlap. So, you know, there's a difference between an INTP and looking at parts that look vaguely INTPish but may very well be a part of an INTJ.
If you try to determine your type based upon comparing it to one other type (that you think you may also be) you will find that the more you've analyzed the situation, the less clear things have become. If you simply look at INTP vs INTJ you are only seeing the picture from that specific polarization, what you need to do is compare what type you believe that you are to how you interact with the other 15 types on a comprehensive scale. Think of it like a spider web, with youself in the middle, and the 15 types around you, think of the lines of the web as how you interact, or compare to them. Then compare that to how an INTJ, or INTP seperately would.
So, I've gone off on a tangent here, but my point is that if you focus too norrowly on something, you will likely miss other important details. Try to detatch from yourself and view your type from many different angles.
