When somebody asks me a question or I try to contribute to a discussion... I often feel there is a bit of "retrieval" of data, like I first turn inwards to try find something I can use to relate to the conversation. It's like this question is asked, but it's invisible, I don't hear it: "What have you been told, experienced, that relates to the subject matter at hand?"
- Is this Si? It involves recalling past experiences and what I know I know.
- However this kind of data retrieval, like in and then out, I have heard directly related to Ti (woah... insight out of freaking NOWHERE on the subject while typing that mid sentence, now I think I know how Si and Ti are diffent. Ti constructs the logic in your head in real time, hence the internal retrival feeling, as you "pull out/generate" the logic to fit a situation, meanwhile Si just calls up the data without doing anything with it. Does that sound plausible? I can't say why I think it does, like what thought prompted me, but on paper it all seems logical.)
- I think I have high Ne too, so maybe (devil's advocate), I could just be drawing extra outward conclusions and not even noticing it. I can see how Si and Ne complement each other so well, and I have heard it from others too.
