I am an INFP although the E and I are interchangeable for the most part. Sometimes I test E and sometimes I.
If you like her but can't stand him, arrange a meeting where you control the shots. For example, invite her and some other girlfriends to your home for some activity that you all enjoy.
A couple of useful links for INTJ's
The Venturous Life: The Complete Idiot's Guide To The INTJ A snippet
DON’T take 100 words to say what could have been said in 10. Content-free speech will cause an INTJ to zone out faster than repeating yourself.
No matter which test I take, it seems like I always come out INTJ. The questions on this test seemed a little screwy to me, so I wondered if I would come out something different.
Nope. INTJ again.
Yep INTJ here also. One would think after 20 years of putzing in ER I would maybe 'style drift' into another box.
heh heh heh -
I retook the test after lunch and now I'm a tad P. So with strong coffee and an empty stomach INTJ (J lite) and with a full stomach a diet drink INTP.
Heh heh heh - go figure.
At the end of the test, one should note how strong each of the 4 indicators is. I am INTJ, but only the I and N are strong. I may repeat the test in another day and come out INTP. And I understand that ambivalence.

I really think it would be better for me to make decisions early, but I just don't roll that way. I keep my options open so long that I can let a default action through!Hey, that's another thing we have in common, besides the tendency to not take things seriously. Heh heh heh...
Here's the difference between INTJ and INTP.
J – Judgment preferred to perception: INTJs tend to plan their activities and make decisions early. They derive a sense of control through predictability, which to perceptive types may seem limiting.
P – Perception preferred to judgment: INTPs tend to withhold judgment and delay important decisions, preferring to "keep their options open" should circumstances change.
I have learned to be flexible, and in my later years have also been less stubborn. So, crossing into INTP is quite plausible.
That's strange, isn't INTJ the opposite of FIRE? That's "I Need This Job" right? OTOH I suppose out in the real world they'd be way more than 46.58%. FWIW it's hard to believe I'm the only ESFP (Extreme Saver Frugal Planner) here.
INTJ on this test. Over the years I tend to vacillate between INTJ and ENTJ - and if you look at the I portion - I'm pretty close to the dividing line.
I'm fine in social situations, not afraid to speak up... but need that home/down time to recharge.

I came out ISTJ on the test but I love to defer commitment as long as possible especially on anything that involves money coming out of my wallet. This annoys my wife as she likes to get things out of the way.

INTJs are about 2% and ISTJs are I think about 4% so that does make them outliers.
This link was in an earlier post, it has the distribution breakdown from several studies in table format. INTJ is ~1% of world population per the tables.
So what about your spouse?
Previously I've been INTJ, but close to INTP. This time, INTP, which is also what DH tested as. This seems really good for our early retirement plans but I was somewhat surprised that DH got the same as me since we're opposites regarding impulsiveness. I love to get into new things, make rash decisions. He's much more methodical, takes FOREVER to make a decision compared to how my head works.
Maybe this description from above is why I fall between the two:
J – Judgment preferred to perception: INTJs tend to plan their activities and make decisions early. They derive a sense of control through predictability, which to perceptive types may seem limiting.
P – Perception preferred to judgment: INTPs tend to withhold judgment and delay important decisions, preferring to "keep their options open" should circumstances change.
I love planning, make very quick decisions, but "keep my options open" because I'm always looking for the next shiny thing.
