My Ne is a complete mental trip on acid with a bit of crack thrown in for extra warp drive speed. A mental exercise that feels so present and so real to me, I can almost visualize my abstractions literally in front of me as I play with concepts. I feel it is because it is at the forefront of my consciousness, that allows me to adequately explain my thought process and ideas instantaneously as they happen, should anyone ever ask, while it's happening. In reality, it's a near impossibility because the process happens so quickly, only the user is fully aware of the connections being made. This is often why, to outsiders, Ne seems so chaotic and random, because by the time we tell you where we got our initial idea from, our minds are already onto the third, fourth, fifth iteration of that concept, and there is physically no way for us to explain our connections in that sort of speed. The thing with Ne though, is it absolutely requires something in the physical environment to spawn off other ideas. Give an Ne user a blank page or sit them in a white room wall with no visual adornments, and you'd be left with a flat-lining heart monitor. It's in these moments though, when my mind picks up the slack, and starts to fill in the blank pages with loopy, out of this world, imaginations and inventions completely irrelevant to reality. Add to this, a constant appetite for understanding and curiosity for the world around me.
Combine this with Fi as an auxiliary function, and you find yourself with the idealist ENFP stereotype awash with lust for the world around them. It's not a world we imagine for our personal enjoyment, it's a world we live in, through our eyes. (That's at least, the world in which I reside
)
Nevermind the character being what...INTJ? It's the visual that I relate so heavily to, when using Ne. This image was actually used in my Anonymous College
