What is dominant Ne?
How does it compare to Auxiliary Ni?
Are they similar looking?

So Ne is basically the external version of what Ni is, but Ne relies on the world around it to search for possibilities? Like, what Ni finds internally is an inverted version of what Ne finds externally? The processes that work inside Ni are the ones which drive it, and the intuition in the outer world is what drives Ne? (Am I close? Ha!)

As an ENFP who grew up with an ENFJ...

Way different.

Ne is all possibilities, doesn't like to settle on just one, experiences a great deal of continual self-doubt over intuitive conclusions (I think this is what's going on, but maybe I'm wrong, so I'll belay judgment for awhile). Very, very good at changing tactics easily or turning an entire prearranged plan upside down and winging it with a moment's notice.

Ni is futuristic focused, and often very sure of their futuristic assertions after a certain point (my ENFJ dad has accurately predicted both the last two major election outcomes and the inevitable fall out of both, and never wavered from those assertions). They are not good at changing mid-stream. They find Ne-dom's "indecisiveness" frustrating. They don't want to act until they have sorted out things in their mind. And, they're far more confident in expressing intuitive insights into people (which are sometimes scarily accurate).

IE:
ENFJ: Your friend ____ is escaping her physical problems and insecurities about her environment through irrational dreams.
ENFP: You can't know that for sure. :p

*two weeks later, sees ample proof that he was indeed right... and he somehow figured it out with almost zero physical evidence*
So basically Ni is like an Occam's Razor of Intuition? It slices through all the data in its mind, and picks the most likely slice of intuition and sticks by it, but Ne sees all the possibilities and is unsure about what the Ni user things, and what is 'accurate' within the intuitive data around it? And as for flows/ decisiveness: Ne is the Se of intuition and Ni is the Si on Intuition basically? I know one is Pe and the other is Pi, but I'm trying to put this in terms of the picture I see in my mind right now.

I can see myself predicting things and being scarily accurate and other times not as accurate, but still getting the general gist of the future prediction without much evidence behind it. Sometimes I hit the bullseye with my Intuitive darts, and other times I hit a 3, or a triple 19 :p

Ne is extraverted intuition. Usually indecisive (when not accompanied with other supporting functions), weaving symbols and contexts together to gain understanding, searching the external environment for possibilities and new understandings (especially when alongside Ti (introverted thinking)).
So basically, the intuition has no source to help it decide on things/ hasn't as much context when it's not using Ji alongside it, so it becomes like this to other people?:



So this is like a new age/mystical concept of the functions? That Nyy 'function' sounds like some weird mix of Pe and Pi in MBTI, but yeah I can see mostly elements of Ne in it.

Ne is a splatter of rainbow-paint on the cosmos.

Ne is the connection of Elmer Fudd in a pink bra with Leondardo da Vinci's anatomical drawings of man.

Ne is the future, what an idea could be, what possibilities there are now, what can change.

Ne looks beyond what is there. It looks into the subtext of a situation, into the underlying meanings and connections.

What is hidden? What patterns are there to extract?
I can see that. I can imagine the paint spreading enough until it paints a picture of what it sees.

What? x'D

Futurama.

The picture is an orange- what juice can I squeeze from it?

How did I do? xD

I'd add that the ENFP might then list a bunch of different possibilities. Many personality types would say they can't know, few would come up with some other explanations.
