My experience is that the ne user will focus on external associations. They aren't typically concerned with the details of 1 thing. They are concerned with how that one thing relates to another thing, and yet another, expanding each thing into a bigger, and biggest picture. The ni user otoh, focuses on the 1 thing. They look at every detail of that one thing, every angle, its past, its pattern, its future. They must tear it apart to understand it. The ne user must connect it to understand it.
That's a great way to describe it. I think the reason I was good at math, was because whenever we were taught something new in class, I would daydream about how it connected to everything else I knew about math, and what the implications were. I was building a network in my head of how everything was connected.
Also, I can't understand the significance of new information or remember it, without understanding how it connects to the big picture.
