Both ESE and LSE are considered "far-sighted" according to the Reinin dichotomies. http://www.wikisocion.org/en/index.p...in_dichotomies
This isn't necessarily what Ni is. It is, in the context of time. I'll give an example.
It's 5:30pm. I have to be somewhere at 6:30pm, and I should probably leave @ 6pm to be on time. Being far-sighted and thinking long-term, I decide to spend some time making phonecalls for my business, for my financial future. I pay off some bills while I'm at, also budgeting and planning long-term. I put away groceries, so when I come back, I can quickly and efficiently get what I want... all of this, then OH CRAP, it's 6:15pm!!! This is what Ni-POLR feels like.
Ni is an understanding of multiple ideas, and which is most important, what will lead to what: in this sense, knowing how things play out. Knowing that not getting ready to leave NOW, will cause me to be late. Ni can also be viewed more long-term, as starting certain projects in life, knowing when would be best to date someone, knowing the essence of person correlated to the timing of their decisions in life, etc. In this case, getting ready is important, would support Se, being able to identify what is possible, how we can act NOW. Se would come in and say, we can change, we can leave now, we can arrive on-time and in top-fashion, appearing excellent.
Si is more tactical, planning for convenience, whether far-sighted OR carefree, which combines with Ne, seeing what is possible.
Long explanation Golden, but does this make sense? As an Ni-POLR, I have a basic understanding of my weakness, and it takes a lot of effort to think about WHEN I should start doing something. There's actually an IEI girl on my business team, my supervisor, who I get along with very well: whenever she says something time-related to planning, like I think we should start doing this now, rather than wait until the end of the month: I go along with what she says. I can't really argue with it, or offer anything constructive to say in return, but I'm able to use my Se then to act on it, think of things we can do...
In this context, I understand the important of Ni, and I use Se to gameplan lots of ideas with her... this is also an example of how my understanding of socionics has helped me make better decisions in my real life, related to business. Without knowledge of socionics, I'd probably ignore her more, see her contribution as unvaluable... but with my socionics knowledge, I'm able to realize everyone's contributions can be valuable, even if I don't necessarily see it right away myself. It's helpful to consider all point of views.
Sorry for the long response.But TLDR: yes, Si-creatives are incredibly long-term thinkers, and strategists.
In terms of Ni and starting something WHEN, based on time, I also get a good feeling WHEN to do something based on wisdom... yeah I mess up a lot there, but I learn with experience how to correct this weakness.
