I recently wrote this article on introverted intuition: The goal is that its described from the perspective or neuroscience.I often feel like there is a big Ni bias in the jungian communities and that Ne is sometimes described as more an extroverted than an intuitive function. I hope these definitions can bring more balance.
Ni is:
Foresight, perspective, vision, inner sight, hidden intention, sensory detachment, otherworldly perception, big-picture thinking, speculation, the ability to guess, "luck";, making theories about your experiences, creating concepts by synthesizing ideas.
Ne is:
"Interpretative intelligence gives powers such as the ability to spot hidden things, clues, and possibilities that others miss. It can be described as a sixth sense; the ability to instantly know something about another person or about a situation. It is the ability to quickly grasp complexity and to figure out what something means and to quickly put an idea to the test. It is the ability to suggest and start change and to start new movement."
Which function seems better?
