The only thing I don't like is the description in the second one that says "may not be linked to the external world".

My Te makes sure what I'm coming up with, whether accurate or not, should always be attempting to be linked to the external world.

I mean, I ain't comin up with these possibilities for nothin, yo...

Well, there seems to be a negative correlation between value of a function and the number of questions asked of it...

As a deeply imaginative person, yes, I use Ni, and I use it often.

Ni

I get insights that seem to come out of thin air and I have learned to rely on them
I get insights into intrinsic patterns and connections that may not seem linked to the external world.
I reflect on ideas and inner patterns from many perspectives:
I am aware that if I am patient, whatever I am perceiving will become crystal clear and I rely on that one perception as being the data I should trust
I see things as the ultimately can be.
I am energized by and make meaningful connections using visions, images, and symbols
I interpret the intent behind situations, communications, or happenings.

I do relate to all of those things listed, but I don't think I have pure Ni because my impressions are not as singular as the purest forms of Ni. I know what Ni looks like in various contexts, and I can make a position of possessing it myself, but the singular vision aspect of it eludes me. I haven't decided if it is because of experience or if I'm using more Ne instead.

I know that someone like David Icke is not accepted by most for his ideas, but I think he is a good example of extreme Ni. He has a singular vision with very complex interweaving of ideas to support its framework. I'm not like that, although I'm always in the abstract and looking for patterns, but there are always at least two internal models for any idea. Is there such a thing as multiple streams of Ni? Or is that pretty much Ne?

Most of the impressions of just knowing for me are a feeling, more like a clear experience, but not a factual conclusion. It's not terribly definable, so that could be Ni. It isn't an "aha, that's the answer" kind of thing, but more like a momentary expansion of awareness.
