SJs can appreciate NFs, at least for my experience I get the most appreciation from SJs. At least in a way that I understand and feels real.
SJs can appreciate Ne, if they have Ne inf or Ne tert they appreciate someone whose good with Ne.
One of my good friends is an ESTJ and I'm an INFP and our friendships is very easy, I'm already impressed with his direct approach to the world and usually he is very shocked by my insights.
Also they say sensors don't like to talk about deep things, not always true, some may be less confident in their ability to do so, but I know 3 ESTJs and deep conversations intrigue all 3 of them, I guess Ne tert helps them relax around someone who has Ne dom or Ne aux. ESPECIALLY older ESTJs, they like to relax by doing Ne things and exploring Ne.
When I say Ne things to SJs especially STJs, their face opens up and you can see how impressed they get. BUT, when I say negative Ne things to STJS they say "Your jumping to conclusions you don't KNOW!" so just be careful.
And one time I noticed with a much older ESTJ we were in a room full of people while watching TV, there was a commercial that had a really dumb joke in it, and me and him were the only one's that laughed lol, my mind immediately thought of the cognitive functions and how this might be an Ne-Ne connection lol.
STJs are good in my book. My dad's one, and growing up it was hard, but his Fi and Ne is coming around it rounds him out nicely.
