I have these traits as well - 'INTP from a mile away'.. Organization has really helped me over the years, and I would agree with comments above about social activity being stifling creatively (which basically means we live in our own little world).
Tip for organization: Do not try to organize yourself - pay a consultant to set up a system for you. Every time I tried to get organized by myself it turned into another project. 2 consultants and $3k later, I had all my papers in a filing system, and a matching file system on my HD. I was able to stick with it and improve over time until it was something that kept me fairly organized for the last 3 years.
Bookkeepers and accountants that have been a lifesaver to keep books in order as well.
