Hey Alpha,
About the intuitive thing...
Intuition in terms of MBTI means ability to think in abstract terms. The implication being that by understanding the underlying abstract laws of how reality works, you can "intuit" certain things.
Regarding your question about INTP - yeah, logic is linear, while intuition is not. Regardless, every useful logical structure has to be "downloaded" from the non-linear domain, otherwise it's highly likely it won't be relevant and practical.
Thus, the most brilliant scientists who change our understanding of the universe are almost exclusively intuitive. The guys who seem interested in science, but who actually take the scientific method as the only gospel truth and fail to see its shortcomings - those are largely sensors. (of course, the opposite is not necessarily true)
Hopefully that makes sense.
