N/S is the percieving function, so it can be hard to tell sometimes.
Usually I just engage them in conversation and/or observe how they approach a topic.
ISTJs usually veer towards topics they can get their hands on (i.e., are tangible) or direct the conversation towards the things that they can see and deal with, whereas if you take the conversation into abstractions, the INTJs are not only with you but take the conversation another step forward.
ISTx people are funny about abstractions; they'll take things a bit in that direction but soon enough will say, "What's the point of all this? What a waste of time. Let's get back to dealing with reality."
