Okay, I'm about to throw out a lot of bunk here. Read it and take it how you wish. This is just a random thought I felt like posting. Enjoy.
I don't believe that personality develops over time. Infants are seen as having distinct personalities. However, I do believe that environment can influence personality greatly... but not to begin with. Early on, we experience our "true" personality, which remains fairly constant and typically becomes stronger over time.
Now, I've heard that it takes time for children to understand the big picture. When we are very young, we see the world as it is and take things as they come... from a sensor's perspective. Our ability to make connections and extrapolate comes from our knowledge and experience. It can only increase with time. Unless you're some sort of crazy child-prodigy, of course.
So if we start showing our personalities in infancy, how do intuitive types, especially Ne- and Ni-dominants exist?
Hmm... I think this topic would be better presented as, "Ne's and Ni's, how did your functions manifest themselves in childhood?" (As Marm and others ended up answering the question.) Since clearly Ne and Ni doms do exist.
