I'm truly being honest, at least in how I personally interpreted the exercise. If it's worth anything, I tend to type as a 6w5, and it is said that INFJs of this enneagram have virtually NO Se. There is an interesting thread about it on PerC, but I won't share it here cuz the whole thing is a rather depressing profile that I only relate to when anxious/depressed/in an unhealthy relationship. I think my lack of sensing abilities is my achilles heel and is actually a big contributor to my anxiety/depression because I lack an innate ability to exist in the present, as I am, in my surroundings. I honestly try sometimes and get bored or feel like a fraud after like 10 seconds and give up and go back to floating on my Ni-Ti cloud. I don't ever "feel like one" with my car or anything material, but I do like to drive fast sometimes and I think that is an effort to engage my Se, similar to listening to loud music. But, again, that's a conscious decision, not an innate ability.
Understanding you're in your 30's while I'm in my 20's, my understanding is, is that Ni and Se clash in what should be your priorities. Having somewhat of an identity crisis when choosing a career or what you're going to be doing for the rest of your life. Many IFP's have that inferior Te wanting to be principals or managers of some place even if they're not good at it. The inferior colors the dominant function. I believe Se makes me love music so much. The new sound or voice just makes me so alive. Now I suck at anything but running (well when I was decent at it and I still tripped and fell once in a while).
Si/Ne users don't really rely on Se of course. Ne users see the outside world much different than Ni users do. Ni users see the object there but it's entire purpose. Ne users see possibilities and never really the object itself. Ni doesn't see the external world differently. It's really actually quite "there", it's just the internal reaction to outer stimuli is what is noticed.
I will argue that Ne doms are the most clumsy. A TV example is Kramer from Seinfeld. Se is their 8th function. Just how I cannot imagine how a vivid memory is like (but I can once in a while have vivid dreams) which is lack of Si. The Ne dom is terrible TERRIBLE at Se. It's like the outline of the external object is there. NTP's love like economics because of the many abstract possibilities or inventing things because it can be changed around.
I'm sorry if it's difficult to express how exactly an Ni user sees objects. It's like it's there but it's not there. You know you can see it, but it's so much easier to see it within the whole than the particular. Making it very much a "depersonalization" experience and the world is kind of scary.
Excuse me, I need to tone down my criticalness, I know you were seeing the questions in a different light. You may be an INFJ regardless of what I'm thinking right now. Sometimes I get so in my head where I compare the framework in my head that I forget you're a person with feelings.
Take this in whichever way it will help you. This was not a typing thread. Excuse me.
