ENTJ here, so I am biased.
Sure, there are differences based on the spectrum of your personality type/temperament.
INTPs certainly do enjoy having no deadlines etc. that does not mean it is the most effective and efficient manner. To me, that is more about human nature, rather than the personality trait. Setting up a deadline increases the chance of the task, objective, goal to get done (on time) with an exponential increase - Regardless of what your type is. Often, these deadlines are what's required to get things done.
Think back to school and I imagine that you often sat up late in the evenings doing your homework. Without that deadline, you would not have done the homework. Now, of course, I don't know whether that is the case, I'm guessing. I'm saying that because that was also the case for me, even though "I am a J". Without the actual end-date of when a specific assignment/homework should have been done, I would not have done a single one. ZERO tasks would be done.
So deadlines certainly have their place. - In the case of creating a product, or doing research I imagine that having no restraints would be fun. But I also do not think one can be productive long term without these deadlines/restraints. That does not mean everything needs or should have a deadline - it shouldn't. Especially for a P
There was a book, which name I cannot recall. The book was written by a musician, a creative artist. He went into how he comes up with songs, creative insights, etc. and how creativity "actually functions". It often was related to deadlines or a limitation set out by himself.
"By 5 o'clock I will have a song about Love, it will have these accords" - Or something like that.
Bill Gates is reported often as an INTP, he has a quote (which I also cannot recall) which went something like "Final version does not occur until 3.0"
An INTP will not be completely satisfied until you get to 3.0 - but you still need to release 1.0 and 2.0, because otherwise, you will never get to 3.0. That may be me butchering the intention of Gates's quote to make my point.
There has to be some interplay between the types, temperaments so that they can do whatever they can, to the best of their abilities.
XNTP's are often more creative. XNTJs are often better at structuring, and finishing/accomplishing/executing whatever the XNTP created.
Let the XNTPs create and continue with that, and they will often be happy. XNTJs will take what XNTPs created, and execute on it - And it will benefit them both because both of them have the strengths that perfectly complement each other.
Now I do completely agree with that.

As an INTP, don´t primarily think about what result you want to have, but what process you enjoy and fits you best.
Now I do completely agree with that.
