Alright, I think I have an understanding of the Judging functions at this point (although I may need to explore that one later), but right now I'm more interested in figuring out the Perceiving functions.
From what I understand, Ne is more about expanding OUTWARDS to novel ideas, whereas Ni is more about drawing INWARDS to timeless ideas. I guess this would be why negative stereotypes such as "Ne-users are zany dreamers" and "Ni-users are crackpot mystics" would exist. Basically, when unbalanced, Ne-users cannot settle down and Ni-users get stuck in a rut (I'm guessing?).
How would the Ne vs Ni dichotomy be analogous to Se vs Si, then? Would it basically be that unbalanced Se-users want to take in new sensations and live in the moment while unbalanced Si-users want to recreate/maintain previous experience and live in the past?
In this analogy, it would basically be that unbalanced Se/Ne-users would be unable to settle down and unbalanced Si/Ni-users would be prone to getting stuck in ruts. Am I on the right track and/or am I missing something?
