I typed myself ILI before I started to learn the information elements.
When I learned about Ni I got confused. Never doubted my type, but just confused because I wasn't thinking about time all day. I don't see time. I don't experience time. Heck I'm even always late at work!
What I do however, is daydream a lot. Have conversations in my mind with people, and know how they react. etc etc.
Information elements aren't that important for typing yourself. They do more harm than help. It's even general consensus that you cannot see what your leading function is because it's to ordinary. So why try looking for it in yourself??
