"There are many ways you can look at this" is a common motto of an Ni-user.
Yeah, this seems to come up a lot. My instinctive move when faced with a problem (or even a situation that isn't really a problem) is to look for the local specific parameters of perspective (easy enough for me to perceive, if not always to consciously understand at first), and metaphorically move outside them to look around - to see where those parameters might be altered, and/or explore what it would look like from different sets of parameters etc etc. It's like that kind of movement and exploration is just where my attention goes. I find it very difficult to be in situations/environments where perceiving and moving outside of the local specific parameters of perspective isn't allowed.
IMO one key to understanding this "many ways you can look at it" is to take the "look" part of that seriously. In my experience, it's not a thinking/logical process - it's truly a perceptual one. It's kind of a fluidity of perceptual movement in a three (or more) dimensional field, allowing me to move my perception around and see from different vantage points and from inside and outside of various parameters.
