The conflict is the idea of an INTJ verifying information based on the fact that another person is an INTJ.
Because of that, I often look for INTJs writing about being an INTJ, just to know that I'm not insane because of how I think.
I'm thinking you're really an INTP. The reason I say this is because an introverted-judger is able to judge themselves. The introverted-judging aspect is what allows an INTJ to make up their mind, and stick to a plan/idea, even if no one agrees, or can understand. An introverted perciever, on the other hand, is one who explores all options, and thus sometimes cannot come to a conclusion without outside consultation. The introverted perceivers are usually the brilliant savants. The introverted judgers are usually the brilliant strategists.
EDIT:
I should add, judgers tend to be self-righteous and arrogant, perceivers tend to be disillusioned and paranoid.
