I really don't think she's an INTP, I think the battle would probably be closer between the ISxJs book wise. Howl is supposed to be, in part, a foil to her own character. She is rigid, structured, and prior to becoming an old woman and being allowed to explore other aspects of herself, is very accepting of the role provided of her. She does not go out of her way to even consider other possibilities for herself until she is cursed. She has no patience for Howl's disorganization and lifestyle, countering him by being highly grounded and a voice of reason. Part of the reason she is kept cursed is because she feels as though she has the personality of an old person, is it not? It is fair to note that she is quite impish and even assertive "in old age," but I really don't think this means Ne is anywhere present rather than she is finally allowing herself to let loose (which is not a natural behavior for her). My arguments for 9 are copy pasted in the comments from another thing on this page.
Biography
Sophie Hatter, the eldest of the Hatter sisters (18), is rather pretty, though she doesn't perceive herself as such. She becomes more lovely as her confidence grows. While her siblings' lives become adventurous and exciting, she finds herself resigned to run her father's old hat shop, as it is her "fate" as the oldest sister. One day the Witch of the Waste, mistaking Sophie for Lettie, turns her into an old woman. Sophie leaves the shop and becomes a cleaning lady in Howl's castle, hoping that he might be able to lift the curse placed on her by the Witch.
