With INTJs thinking goes outwards, intuition on the other hand "bends" the whole of process inwards. This "bending inwards" thing i think you were looking for the word abstraction, thats a process of introversion, Te does not do that, Ni on the other hand can abstract using information derived from Te.
I just noticed something else wrong with this. Ni does not abstract information, it is merely picky about the information which is conceptual in nature. (Or perhaps that's what you meant.) Ni has a narrow, laser-like focus that notices only the information which is interesting conceptually.
That's not to say that Ni is blind to all else, the other information simply doesn't serve its conceptual purpose or mind-set. That's why you will see Ni-dominants who seem to have their feet in two different worlds and come across as somewhat (or very) aloof. Their dour expressions and narrow outlooks seem to vaguely notice your existence which is diminished as of less importance than something indefinite and less concrete.
This is also the case with Si-dominants, although their subjective interests are of a more concrete nature than that of the Ni-dominants. So you will also feel your existence diminished by the Si-dominants with their narrow, subjective interests when they don't include you in their plans.
