Okay. Now let me introduce this. Would Ne be the xNTP's way of allowing emotions into their systems. Seeing as ideas can be dreams. Weird correlation, but do you see it?
Well, I think an example of that might be choosing to take a chance on fulfilling a lifelong dream even though you know very few people succeed at it, etc. Knowing it's not exactly logical or "smart," but knowing you have to do it to satisfy a piece of your soul.
To seperate emotion from reason is impossible. But figuring out when to rely on one more than the other (though intwined) is the most logical.
But you need to assume for that you can tell the one from the other. I rather think it's like a wave with an oscillating frequency, meaning part of your decision was for the sake of reason but it got motivated from a wave front of emotion that came before or will come after it.
It's a symptome of our present life, at least thats how it feels for me, that people become more and more strangers to each other. And with that being true one hasnt really the chance at all to ever reflect his emotions on others and many many people stay emotionally retarded and unreasonable in many ways for all their life.
I prefer emotional thinking. It's easier to claim you were wrong because then you just have to claim that your feelings changed.
When does making decisions with emotions fit better than reason in the eyes of NT's, if at all?

I hate saying "emotional" but I think "relational thinking" is sometimes better in situations involving... RELATIONSHIPS.
I see so many NT relationships crash and burn because the NT tries to treat it like something to pick apart logically. Relationships aren't about logic. They're about commitment to another human being, and sharing good times together, and becoming emotionally intimate. Sometimes you gotta lay the logical deconstruction aside. (That might be the biggest thing I learned in many many years of being with an ISFJ.)
Also, relationships includes "relationships with self."
Finding personal happiness and fulfillment.
You can sit and create logical arguments over what makes sense -- what job to pursue, what degrees to get, what makes sense to chase down. But you know what? sometimes what makes sense on paper leaves your heart cold and you feel disinterested and detached. In these times, you learn to listen to your heart even if you can't explain why, or you might think it's irrational. In the end, we live in order to feel alive, and always making a justifiably "rational" decision won't leave you feeling alive.
When you need to drive a nail, use a hammer.
When you need to turn a screw, don't use a hammer.
There's "rationality" for you.
Emotions are usually very logical...
That's more of a stretch.
I'll grant you "fuzzy logic" but that's it -- they are not necessarily consistent between individuals nor predictable, they are partially related but not completely, and people can create emotional states that might not be useful to their success, leading to distorted logic.
This is why we make a distinction in MBTI between Feeling values and emotions. They actually are somewhat connected but not identical.
