yeah, for instance, as a teacher, i struggle to come up with relevant examples on the spot for my students. all my meanings are marked to be slightly different than the general usages, because i have my own belief constructs that are creating strange and fluid concepts. and i have enormous difficulty at times starting from simplified contexts and concrete objects to begin building something from the ground up.
i think, when you combine those differences with Te, which trusts empirical data, facts, specific test results, well, it makes it more difficult even to bridge the gap because someone is consistently using different forms of information than your own relevant pieces of knowledge. and Te really really wants to regulate the argument and build the infrastructure for how the argument will unfold. i'm still trying to figure out how Te works for Ni types. i've noticed 5w6 types seem to be the most skeptical of all, and 1w9s are extremely pragmatic and want empirical verifiability and immediate application all the damn time.
