Si remembers sensory experiences and draws conclusions.
Ni takes information abstractly (not via the senses) and draws conclusions.
Ni is about synthesizing information and creating a vision of the future.
Si is about synthesizing information and creating a vision of the past, a frame of reference for the future. Both impel one to realize goals and keep you focused.
Si is comparative, as is Ni, but Ni does it on an abstract level whereas Si does it on a concrete level.
Ni takes in information and melds it into a shape as does Si. Why do you think SJs are often conservative?
Si bases itself on the past and facts. If it's worked and is empirically based, then it's good enough to keep for the future.
Ni bases itself on symbolic concepts since it gathers it's information abstractly and thus is focused on the facts' patterns rather than the actual facts. So it theorizes of what might be the best approach in the future based on such perceived patterns.
No, the way the information is ordered and applied, and which information is selected, is vastly different.
