Please try to give as detailed of an explanation as you can. More details, means more to work with.

Any particular angle you’d like to approach this comparison with? One can start with some of the descriptions you can easily find around the internet, though, rehashing them here would be a bit boring, ya? If you have any particular questions of Ne that I can answer for you, which you can then use to compare to your Ni, we can start from there. Or, anything confuse you about Ne that I can help clarify?

As I see it in my brief summary of cognitive functions, Ni people try to condense particulars into universals, and Ne people try to expand universals into particulars.
I have a lot of INTJ acquaintances and relatives. They see a problem and they find one big solution/answer that would work for every possible variable of the problem.
We, Ne people, grab the problem and deconstruct it in a trillion possibilities of action, which generally makes Ni people feel very desperate because there's never a conclusion. The image that comes to mind is this:
I also found that people with Ne lower in their stack tend to use it more for catastrophic situations instead of everyday events (but maybe that's just a generalization my brain made from observing ESFJs, ESTJs and ISTJs -haven't met any ISTP yet). Obviously there are many more aspects that define/separate these two functions, but that's the one I find the most characteristic according to my experience with types.
