I'm glad this helped!
Yes, that's what I mean. It's like I get answer/hunch first, and then I have to go back and try to make the logic of where it came from clearer. In other threads, other Ni-doms on this site have said they work the same way.
It's that all the perspectives are correct and are needed to make up the whole. Another example is to ask the question if someone who is 30 years old is either old or young. If you look at it from the perspective of a 15-year-old, yes, they're old. But if you look at it from the perspective of someone who is 60? They're young. So, the question is, are they old or young? They're both. There is no definitive "they are old" or "they are young." That's Ni. The breaking up an object into different parts sounds more Ti.
So basically, I'm agreeing with you, but sometimes words mean different things to different people, so I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page.
And I agree with you about English and history! I love English for that reason, and when we were doing the lit theory "New Historicism," which is combining looking at history in an Ni-way ('there is no one definitive way of looking at history') and looking at novels in an Ni-way, I went nuts
I think this sounds a lot more like how I use intuition than Ne...it's like Ne is this wellspring of ideas that just keep going and going on continuous tangents (I think I must know a lot of people with strong Ne, haha) whereas Ni sees and values multiple perspectives re: one object or topic. It would make a lot of sense for Ne to by one of my shadow functions because it does drain me and freak me out pretty consistently.
So in terms of an INFJ, Ni-Ti is probably a pretty quiet, introverted process, right? But how would you say Ni works with Fe, or how does Fe tend to "extrovert" or express the Ni-Ti stuff?
