Not at all. I only see 1 correct option at all times, with backup plans. When I see 2 equal options, I actually get really frustrated (inferior Ni).
Few months ago I was torn between going a high risk high cost investment and low risk low cost investment. It was stressing me out beyond belief, so I went with neither option and a few months down the road a new opportunity popped up and I took it.
Inside there is a gut instinct voice that says "Green Light" or "Red Light." That's basically what I listen to. And if it doesn't work, all that means is I've gained experience and knowledge in something that doesn't work. So if you've ever gone skiing or mountain biking, or even done some parkour, its the function that helps you go with the flow and follow the stream of correct decisions on the fly (at least when combined with Ti which doesn't encorporate experience into its decision process the way Te does). As bruce lee once said, "Water can flow, and water can crash. Be water my friend." Thought inhibits this flow state.
To be honest, Se is probably the function I understand the least. I still don't really get it well at all. In contrast, Si is clearly understandable.
Your "gut instinct" sounds more like Enneagram 8 than it Se though.
