For INTJs what is the function order of their shadows? I have seen two different versions, one that says Ne Ti Fe Si, and one that just says a negative form of ESFP which can't be the same as above. Anyone know?

You got the conventional listing of the 8 function for INTJ correct.
Ni Te Fi Se Ne Ti Fe Si

I don't think that's how we develop the use of these functions though. Certainly Se doesn't come before Ne... but Si is pretty much nonexistent for Ni dominants.

Correct. The order listing is

5th Ne
6th Ti
7th Fe
8th Si

The order of development/degree of usage, however, is not in that order.
