It's a circle. The two are different but linked either side and therefore in reality are the same but perspective or circumstance shifts it from one to the other.No, seriously, detail Ti =/= detail Se.
The thing is: details and patterns are one. (That kinda complicates things, but oh well...)
I'm going to ignore the use of my pet hate (I don't agree with Ni and Ne and all that travesty) and go for a different approach.Holmes sees the "immediate" detail and concludes the bigger picture from this awareness of details. Se - NiTe. (something like that I think)
You, if you're INTP, on the other hand, notice the pattern and you store it in your memory for later Ti-"understanding". Ne - SiTi.
So, in a way, you are restricted by Si, whereas Holmes can "leap" with Ni.
I was interested in firearms as a child (and an older child... right up till now). A 9mm parabellum round is 9x19mm is size and has a higher muzzle velocity than the 0.45 calibre round in M1911s (aka Colt Government) but due to the wider impact area a .45 has a higher degree of stopping power because it can transfer the energy faster. Oddly rounds designed to get around this flaw also include safety rounds which won't penetrate an aircrafts shell.
I could go on. All details pertaining to something I'm interested in. Oh and I notice the details of weaponry in films before my ESTP wife who is entirely ignorant of them as she only has a passing interest in guns and only from a point of shooting them.
However read me a list and I'm asleep by item 3 (mentally anyway).
The best way I can figure it is that Holmes is interested in crime. An obvious statement but one which makes serious implications.
How fast do you note whether a person is extraverted or introverted compared to one of your Se users who's not interested in psychology?
It fits a framework but not necessarily centred around that individual experience but as a whole of experiences gather throughout the lifetime of the interest.
