Thank you!
The reason I didn't give a not-INTP argument is, since everyone uses and demonstrates every aspect of cognition, I find it hard to argue that someone is
not a certain type. My argument against INTP essentially lies in that I see more evidence for Yoda demonstrating introverted iNtuitive cognition than introverted Thinking cognition, and more evidence for Yoda demonstrating introverted iNtuitive cognition accompanied by extraverted Feeling cognition than introverted Thinking cognition accompanied by extraverted iNtuition cognition.
If we utilize the theory of function "roles", we would look for the primary thought pattern to be either restricted or informed by the auxiliary thought process - if the primary is Perceiving, then the auxiliary will restrict the scope of its options; if the primary is Judging, then the auxiliary will inform the scope of its options. In application, if Yoda is an INTP, he will lead with discretionary reasoning (Ti) informed by connections and possibilities (Ne). However, I don't really see this in Yoda. His main aim is concentrated on one huge, overarching goal, not many smaller projects, as you are more likely to see with INTPs. Whereas if he is INFJ, he will lead with conceptualization (Ni) restricted by real-world relations (Fe). I
do see this: Yoda is constantly considering how to best mobilize people and efforts to get the best-quality impact and achieve the victory of the Light Side of the Force while hurting the least amount of beings and disrupting the least amount of lives. He also does not seem to manifest any of the general Ne distractedness, as is typically visible in INxPs. He does, however, have his a fair share of INFx quirkiness.
Yoda also does not seem to demonstrate a high degree of the typical Ti fondness for picking things apart into their working components - Yoda does
analyze, but with a focus on understanding dynamic processes and what the nature of the movement indicates about the future. INTPs, with Ne/Si, are more likely to look at the nature of the components themselves and understand how Part A fits into Part B, not how Process A becomes Process B, which is a Ni/Se perception. Yoda also seems to concentrate more on the holistic state of things (N) more than individual flaws (T) - living with two INTPs, one 6w5 and one 9w8, I know that they are pretty darn focused on flaws. I don't see this in Yoda. Nor do I see in Yoda the typical xxxP pattern of being very easygoing up until the point where someone accidentally steps on the toes of their values - we all know where Yoda stands, and even though he is gentle, he is quite rigid about his
internal perception. It is, after all - if he is indeed INFJ - his most developed form of cognition.
