Okay Guys,
Making sure I understand Ti. So basically Ti works the same as Fi, as Ne fuels it with information and stimulus, but rather than being filtered through a set of predetermined values like Fi, It gets filtered through a set of predetermined rules (or perimeters)? This is an oversimplification of course...but am I in the ball park?

Yes, that's a quite good description. Just add Se as alternative information source... there are Se/Ti users out there, too :D

I'll give you an example of my Ti use as a child. I was about nine years old. There was some craft session in class, and we had to choose a coloured piece of paper. We all chose our colour.
Then the teacher found another stack of coloured paper: pale purple, the best colour of all!
ALL children chose the pale purple instead of their original colour, except...
I didn't, even though I preferred the pale purple! It was more important to me to "stay with my first choice" than "getting my favourite colour". :doh:
