and wondered if there are INTJ variants as well. (Couldn't find anything googling.)

EDIT: Well, that's wierd: the link won't work (what the ...?), so here're the 24 types of INTP's:

P-type – The Improvisers

PNTI – “quantum mechanic” - This subtype uses a wild intellectual instinct to perfect systems, whether they were the originator or not. The weak TI creates ambivalence towards identity and logic.
PNIT - "context jumper” (mashup) - The other PN. This subtype tends towards comparing seemingly incompatible systems. They thrive on unorthodox metaphors.
PINT - "secret courtesan" (mother of pearl) - The first of our identity-strong subtypes, they court several identities at once without thought of consistency. This subtype also has the ability to form cyst-like gems of radiant wisdom around microscopic irritants.
PITN - "reed in the wind" (ninja) - Skilled in the evasive arts, these are one of the physical subtypes. Their sense of physical evasion echoes in the chameleon nature of their soul.
PTNI - "cold shower" ("reality check") - With the inherent paradox of being a T-strong perceiver, this subtype excels in efficiently reducing systems to the simplest metaphor. This activity can be sobering.
PTIN - "collector" - The second in the physical/material subtype, the PTIN collects ideas into a centerless framework.

N-type – The Speculators

NPIT -- "niche maker" – This subtype tends to create systems starting from a specific example, creating the framework to fit the criteria of the intuition-object. They want to find a place for everything, and a frame big enough for everyone.
NPTI -- "mediator" – With a kind, agreeable nature, this subtype wants to classify and sort much like the NPIT, but tries to do this from within whichever system is dominant.
NIPT – "social hacker" (“virus”) – This identity subtype tries to infect others with a prevailing thought in order to create self-replicating satellites. The best memes are created by the NIPT.
NITP -- "specialist" -- The first of our value-heavy subtypes, the NITP creates an identity through adherence to usually one thought-style or system-style (one that may evolve slowly over the years), finding the similarity of all things within this framework.
NTIP – "armchair general" – This is the first of the two flipped rationals. This subtype plays to win, and may not even realize not everyone shares that attitude. An NTIP will usually win long before playing the game, having created and/or perfected the gaming system.
NTPI – "arcologist" – The other of the flipped rationals, the NTPI tends towards creating utopian architectures. It does this out of a strong intuition of global truth.

I-type – The Solipsists

INTP – "manifesto" – With a strong sense of values and identity, this subtype leads to a greater truth by quiet example.
INPT – Bodhidharma – This subtype, the second of the hermit-like INs, seeks to transcend personality through calm reflection or meditation.
IPNT -- Deadhead (Tolkienite) – Like long-simmering hippies, this subtype tends to quietly yearn for a simpler existence, usually involving nature or anachronism.
IPTN – "gamer" ("pothead") – This subtype uses themselves as the basic element in their fantasy worlds. Consequently, they tend to make self-indulgent frameworks to inhabit.
ITNP – "slow burn" (Ubermensch) – This subtype wants to have the most unbiased perception possible, but in order to achieve this must constantly rethink and slowly obliterate any personal association that might fetter objectivity. The ITNP can get caught in an endless judging-perceiving cycle of re-examination.
ITPN – "reset button" – This subtype has all the identity strife of the ITNP, but tends to externalize it as a concrete activity of some kind. The two ITs tend to be the most objective of all the subtypes, because they constantly force themselves to face their faults.

T-type – The Editors

TNIP – "global paradox" – One of two pure rationals, the TNIP has a knack for boiling anything down to a single metaphorical paradox.
TNPI – "saboteur" (“survival of the fittest”) – The second of the pure rationals, the TNPI tends to find a favored heuristic with which to destroy any system. This subtype prefers to destroy in service of a stronger whole, which it ironically knows will never be perfect or complete.
TIPN – Ourobouros – This artistic subtype tends to be always destroying and creating itself, finding an identity in the process of constant self-creation. This is like a mellower version of the IT subtypes (ITNP and ITPN).
TINP -- "silver bullet" (Kryptonite) – This subtype tends to be always searching for the Achilles' heel of a system, and appreciates being recognized as the person who brought it down.
TPIN – "stress test" – This subtype is the pure analyst who succeeds in dispassionately running simulations in their mind. These are potentially the best visualizers out of all the 384 subtypes.
TPNI – "actuary" – This subtype is the most ambivalent of INTP identity subtypes as well as the most logical. The pure debater.

Sounds like a true creation of Ti.

No.

All INTJs are exactly the same.

That's what we love most about them.

is to CHEESE as INTJ is to MBTI Types.

??? LOL! That's tongue-in-cheek of you, of course. Bec. even just our percentages vary, so there's no way we can all be clones of each other.

(Seriously, INTJs probably show more divergence than any other type)

So let's get this straight, they're saying that there are 24 variants of INTP if you arrange the letters in order of the most developed to the least? That makes sense, except for 2 things.
1 - the order would usually be Ti Ne Si Fe every time due to rates of development, also if it was Fe Si Ne Ti then that's an ESFJ, and
2 - the letters I and P aren't actual functions.

OH, oh, the order of the letters don't mean anything, they just made it up.

Hey, I know this game, let's play:
ESTJ = Jest
ESTP = Pest
INTP = Pint

Come on, play the MBTI anagram game!

I actually used the PINT thingy once to help an INTP pal remember his letters (he was a recovering alcoholic).

INTJ = TINJ, as in "just slightly on the odd side"

ENTP = PENT, as in "can't stand being cooped up inside all the time"

Sigh, maths tell us that there are indeed 24 possible rearrangements of the letters, "INTJ", which would make 24 types of INTJs.
