:Ni: I do it ALLLL the time. I'm even doing it right now, damnit.
Edit: This does usually present another problem I have, though, in that I cannot remember whether I've -actually- had that conversation yet with the individual, so I am at risk of repeating myself.
It could actually in corporate pieces of :Te: aswell.

Thank you for your reply. At the moment I am only focused on the correct apprehension of extroverted intuitive experience. But rest assured I will be coming back to ask more about your own imagination later.

Hahaha... dick. Although you should realise that I replied before you added the second paragraph.
Shall I give you my reasoning now? :Ni: is used for forecasting of events. I would say that predicting what someone is going to say would require some sort of forecasting, predicting, right?

For what it's worth, I do it too. Most often when I need to make a decision on how to act, trying to decide between various ways to begin (& direct) my act in order to reach a certain goal/result. I try to imagine as many possibilities as I can in order to estimate (& choose) to most efficient path that at the same time has the most chances to get me on the track I want to be on, which sometimes also helps me keep out of things I don't want to to put myself into. If you know what I mean...

Sounds like :Ni: role. Choosing the right path means avoiding sticky :Fe: situations that can make you look bad.

I agree with this 100%.
I do this a lot. it's probably a typical ILI thing. And because it's all done in your imagination, it involves some :Ni:
