    as a Ne-creative i can somewhat relate. i am in a permanently "skeptical" mode—i don't ever take anything to be entirely true. i am always open to doubt; i find it hard to commit to any particular 'truth'. and while something may not be entirely credible, it's still possible to glean truth (or examples of a different perspective) from it. i've noticed that IEE (unsure about ILE) can sometimes seem initially too trusting, perhaps in the "honeymoon phase" as you've described.

    generally i don't apply the label "conspiracy theory" to anything i believe that might be true. even if it does technically qualify as a conspiracy theory, the term seems to have a de-legitimizing stigma, so i avoid it altogether.
    Out of curiosity, are you EII or LII? That's interesting that you're initially in skeptical mode. With me, I find that I'm initially in open-minded mode and then I become skeptical afterwards. Perhaps, that's the difference between being Ne dominant and Ne creative. I agree that Ne doms can be too accepting of conspiracy theories if unhealthy, I have done this myself when I was unhealthy. However, when I'm healthy this doesn't happen and I am much more skeptical.

    Also, I don't think Ne doms are the only ones susceptible to being too accepting to conspiracy theories. I have an Se-SEE friend that mindlessly accepts almost every single conspiracy theory minus a few and when I tried to tell him to be more skeptical about these theories, he started getting upset and defensive. I agree that the label conspiracy theory is used too broadly and can be used to discredit theories and ideas that may actually be correct and based on truth.
