Have I got this all wrong, or what kind of perceptions do you have about the issue?
Maybe I'm saying this because I skipped breakfast this morning, but--it's a matter of appetite.
The INTP is something of a picky eater. They'll sample a wide variety of foods, find something they like, and then consume it in every localized version, try the vegan and meat versions of the dish, try it with every preparation method, try to prepare the dish themselves, and then start branching off to related foods, all but abandoning thier former favorite dish. They'll sample their related foods, pick something they like, consume totally, and then branch off again.
They'll pick around their plates for what they like, and they'll take their time to enjoy the food.
The ENTP is a big, big eater. You put a plate in front of them, and they'll eat it. There's not much added comfort in the branching out from what's known--their appetites are so voracious that they'll clear whatever is put in front of them, regardless of if it's a heap of White Castle, an exotic delicasy, or one'a ma's home cooked meals. Actually, they'll order the whole menu from each of these places, learn everything about how it's prepared, and move on to the next place to eat. It doesn't matter much about what the next place is--if they just the whole menu at a Chinese place, and the restaurant next door is also Chinese, it doesn't matter, they'll dig deeper into the mysteries of the Orient right where they left off if it's the same day or a month later. Just as long as they get that temporary fix. That momentary satiation of the otherwise insatiable, they'll be pleased.

That's just... just... gah.
Intellect isn't just about bringing order to ideas. The genesis of the ideas themselves is an important part.
