Um, I skipped the majority of the thread since it's kinda off topic...
I guess the easiest way for all of us to understand what this really is getting at is to break down the variables we all can agree on. We can agree (using the annotation of NeFi and FiNe that I use, I guess other people caught on) that NeFi is
defined by the leading position +
defined by the creative position, and the opposite for FiNe.
Looking at the leading functions as starting points, NeFi start out observing the possible states of objects while FiNe start out reflecting on the qualities that make up the relationship between objects. NeFi start by generating multiple ideas while FiNe start with a set of already established data. Both of these are innate, so it isn't a process that either type tries at, it is an apparent view to view the world.
Then the NeFi discerns which possibilities are useful through
, applying their established system to eliminate possibilities that aren't applicable. So while NeFi are known for exploring lots of possibilities, they keep their brain from exploding by not keeping on file EVERY possibility, as that's just too much. One can see this behavior in SiTe, who feel overwhelmed by all the possible states they are observing that they feel stuck in a rut because they don't have a natural process of trimming down these possibilities. But after the
information goes through the
sifter, it stays around until it no longer becomes applicable, and therefore an NeFi can still wield multiple possibilities.
FiNe, on the other hand, look for possible states in an object through their already established criteria. If they get an
overload, so to speak, it is because they haven't gained enough
information yet and therefore can be subjected to too much information.
They tend to hand out these observations because it comes from an already finely tuned source, the process is in generating the possibilities for FiNe, not finding out which possibilities are useful like NeFi.
I would take a wing at FeNi and NiFe, but I figured I'd let this go up for scrutiny first to see if I'm completely off base or not.
