I'm going to pick at bits and pieces to respond simply because there's too much.
Intake of external input (extroverted perceiving) -> interpretation and analysis of input (introverted judging) -> amassing of internal ideas (introverted perceiving) -> determining stance and action to issue (extroverted judging).
The difference between types simply lies in which step you spend the most time on. For the Ni dominant, other functions (Se, Fi, Ti etc) act as spring boards to keep Ni going. Te and Fe only comes in when we need to actually make a decision.
You can say Te is superficial in that it only assess theories relevant to the topic at hand. I call it being efficient. Why deal with extra junk when it doesn't affect the overall outcome? You certainly don't see death by over-analysis with Te.You're right, and I should have put "deeper" in inverted commas. I don't think Te is more superficial than Ti, but I certainly think that's how it appears to I_TPs. It's really a pretty old cliche that extraversion seems "shallow" and "superficial" to introverts (and, by the same token, introversion looks myopic and limited to extraverts).
For people to effectively process anything, both introverted and extroverted judging and perceiving functions are required. It has been commonly described as a zig zag pattern.i'd say they have to use Ni to some extent to generate some possible connections that Ti can analyze.
it seems like any complex processing has to use 3-4 functions all sending information among eachother.
