The very interesting mbti YouTube channel - davesuperpowers (you must check this out if you haven’t) says that half the infp population uses Ne more and half the infp population uses Si more. I have been meaning to ask this for about a month now. The simplest way to look at this is, right now, not in the ideal situation, not way back in the past, but right now, how do you spend your day? Are you more into exploring the world, the world of ideas/the world of possibilities or do you follow your routines and your habits more and find the Ne excitement from within your Si restricted life?
This is actually a very rich question for infps so please do not give a hasty answer. I realise that this is not a very clear black and white situation for most of us. If you consider a writer, he has a routine to follow but in his actual experience he is exploring a lot of possibilities. On the other hand, an infp traveling salesman (if there is one such unfortunate soul) would meet many new people in his life and work but his communication will remain the same more or less. So there is the look of things of how new/routine it is for you and there is the experience of it of how new/routine it is for you.
There can be greater nuances even within the appearance of life and the experience of life. We will eventually get to that. According to your own assessment, how do you see your life? Is it more Ne or is it more Si? More exploration or more rules? You can share your satisfaction/dissatisfaction with it as well.
