Righto, and I would assume a Ni PoLR would actually be less confident when facing the unknown future, as opposed to what I said which is essentially that I'm more confident dealing with my current situation than I am figuring out how my actions in dealing with my situation will affect the future.
Easy Day
No, Ni weak is exactly as you wrote, not knowing how the things you do will play out. Ni is knowing what one does will play out, so exact opposite for PoLR or people of PoLR issues with Ni. So to compensate for a PoLR, a person submerses themselves in immediate tasks at hand.
Here's the Ni weak deffinition on wikisocion for you; There are parts of the below that apply to another type, so, trust me, I've been around a dual and grew up with her since I was 9:
The individual prefers to focus on immediate tasks, taking things as they come, rather than try to evaluate the outcome of present trends. Inclination to tell stories or narrate events on a sequential basis, rather than outlining how one event led to another.
He perceives time in an undifferentiated manner: the past, present, and future are all perceived as being in or near the present. When talking about the future, especially one's longer-term plan), the individual treats it as if it were accessible today and often is not aware of all the developments that must happen first.
He generally has a poor sense of how long things will take and what the best amount of time to spend on things is. Therefore it is difficult for him to stay on schedule without extensive, even total, pre-planning.

Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?
I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

Ok...
But I can tell you, that that Ni is not dual seeking, it's 100% weak Ni.
Because he does not seek to supliment it himself, I guess he is not overwhelmed by it but avoids it...
The suggestive function is also called the dual-seeking function. The subject finds it difficult to be overwhelmed by this element, since it perfectly complements and drives the activity of the leading function. The more it is present in his daily life, the more he will naturally adapt to its presence (see dualization). They are easily entertained by this kind of information, and its sustained presence creates a soothing psychological effect. If someone experiences a deficiency of it in his environment, he may attempt to supply it himself, but become soon exhausted. Unlike the mobilizing function, concentrated and prolonged doses from other people are received positively (depending somewhat on the individual's degree of dualization).
People focus deeply on the use of this function in day-to-day life, always attempting to digest information received from the environment through this aspect of reality. This is because it complements the leading function, making an individual not only more understanding but more satisfied about their pursuits in the Ego.
Here's PoLR
" he will still usually try to avoid taking responsibility for it himself, or develop a minimalist or non-traditional approach (possibly using other functions) that is enough to satisfy one's own needs. The presence of a dual usually dissolves any concern there might be about how to approach matters of the vulnerable function."
NICE

Yeah, you say that, but it hurts people! Including my dual Even IEIs have feelings.
However, she has shown me how Ni is important in ways I wouldn't have even imagined e.g. you have a little banter that gets nasty, then they start goading you to attack them but "weren't expecting that" when you completely go at them no holds barred. Then they get hurt. But you have no idea until they TELL you. So tell me BEFORE it's going to happen, and it can be avoided!
Yep, definitely.
What, so you think he's Ni DS now, even though you said he wasn't?
