I agree with onemoretime on this one. Ni and Si are actually pretty similar. They both gather external perceptions and internally organize these perceptions relative to the self, thereby making them personally meaningful (or personally lack meaning).
Ni is more similar to Si than it is to any other function, that's for sure. Likewise, Si is more similar to Ni than it is to any other function. The two have their differences, clearly, but they're not in complete opposition.
You know, is it really accurate to say Ni is more similar to Si than it is to Ne?
How do you know that's not like saying an orange is more similar to a pumpkin than it is to a grapefruit, because of its color?
Who determines which criteria (shape vs. color; introverted attitude vs. functional purpose [in this case, making abstractions/connections]) is more relevant to whether two things are more or less similar?
Such thinking is problematic (not just imo).
