I'd actually put forth that deep vs practical would be more along the lines of Fi vs Te and Ni vs Se rather than the entire function attitude of N or S.
How individuals might view themselves based on certain functions:
Practical: Te and Se
Deep: Fi and Ni
Structured (or Rational): Ti and Si
Open-minded: Ne and Fe (it's a stretch for the last one, though emotionally they would be rather open-minded)
This of course assumes that there would be perfect symmetry in these categories.
You edited your original post, so I need to expand on my response. Jung would not agree with your idea that Si and Ti are structured or rational, especially in contradistinction to Fe (or Fi). Jung characterized F and T as Rational types, S and N as Irrational types. And Jung was huge on symmetry.
My theory on VI and symmetry is that the J types (Fe, Te, Ni, and Si) are symmetrical in appearance, the P types (Fi, Ti, Ne, and Se) are a-symmetrical. For a good movie example:

Elijah Price in the same movie -
