one of my Ni aha moments led me to the following:
Ne/Si = abstract & conscious real time experience [Ne] + concrete & subconscious past memory/filter [Si]
Se/Ni = concrete & conscious real time experience [Se] + abstract & subconscious past memory/filter [Ni]
I see a lot of people refer to Ni as future oriented and Si as past oriented, I disagree to an extent. They both stem from past experience. Si is clear and detailed past experience and that's why the past is trusted for Si users, because it is vivid and clear -- Si users store clear physical impressions. Ni is fuzzy and abstract past experience, and this is the reason Ni users get gut feelings about situations -- ITS NOT MAGIC -- it's the SAME as Si except it's not the sensory experience that comes to mind, its the abstract meaning of the experience that comes to mind.
Anyone agree?
I see a lot of Ne/Si users [even dominant Ne users] speak clearly about past experiences. They can describe past situations in detail. Whereas a lot of Se/Ni users [even dominant Se users] speak about "vibes" of past situations. Detail [Si] vs Vibes [Ni].
Si vs Ni example (regardless of position in top 4 functions) :
Ne/Si user - This reminds me of the last time we went to 7-Eleven and Twenty One Pilots was playing on the speakers and they didn't have the candy I wanted, remember how pissed we were? [emphasis on detail, no extraction of underlying meaning]
Se/Ni user - I got a feeling this 7-Eleven isn't gonna have the candy because they usually don't have it there. I don't know why I got this gut feeling but I just know it won't be there. [emphasis on the underlying meaning of the past, ignored the actual details]
They are both going back to the same past oriented situation, but one remembers the actual details and one remembers the abstract lesson instead of the detail.
