Anyone have concrete examples of Ne? Like say in a classroom or observing a city. I want to know because sometimes I question if I am ISTP or INTP



Also examples of Ti/Se and Ne/Si would be helpful

I can't think of any great ones.

It may be better to post this question in the cognitive functions forum. They've been helpful for me when I had these kinds of questions. I'd be interested in setting the responses.

Ne can see things from many different perspectives.
It is wired to look for connections between objects.
It looks beyond the obvious and is more concerned with what is hidden beneath the surface.
Ne likes novelty and to find new ways of doing things. Ne will become bored if there's nothing new for it to explore.

Jung said that the Extraverted Intuitive type "is never found amoung generally recognised reality values, but he is always present where possibilities exist."
"his eye is constantly ranging for new possibilities, stable conditions have an air of impending suffocation"

Edit- you asked for a concrete example. Sorry. Let me think.

Well, in the classroom a Ne type will be bored if they have to go over the same stuff over and over again, but if a novel subject is introduced they will become excited. They'll know a little about a lot.


I'll think of more later. My brain isn't complying with me right now.

Yes, if you have ever seen the first Sherlock Holmes movie, he was an ENTP in that movie. He envisions future possibilities that can happen in the fight scene in that movie. Watch this video and he uses Ne<Ti at 1:36 into that video. Check it out....



Se users don't really see future possibilities like that, they just take action and can think and act at the same time. It looks more like this when Kratos from God of War fought Hercules...

I just thought of another example.

When people want to make a post less than 10 characters they write "10 chars" after it. It's the done thing.
Ne types don't always do the done thing.

I try to think of different possibilities, like...

...sorry.....

~~~sorry~~~~

s o r r y...

sorry
10 cars

sorry
10 BMW's.

I think this will help. Davesuperpowers has some great videos!

I should subscribe to this guy.

I'm not sure I agree. He doesn't really see all the future possibilities, he practically knows what's going to happen, almost like he's been doing this thing plenty of times before. Like "if I kick him this hard there, I'll break this and this and this bone".
As I understand Ne, it's imagining every single possibility and then deducing them to the most likely. Like in the case of Sherlock and his motto "assume everyone of being guilty and then start excluding them". When in the movie he studies Watson's girlfriend, he imagines all the possible scenarios in which she could have ink behind her ear and then - according to other clues he sees - rejects the less plausible ones.
