ok, now I would like you to go to the site I linked and reread Ni/Ne; where in the descriptions does it say that either are idea people?

Ni looks peers into the essence of ideas they may have, that doesn't mean coming up with ideas is intrinsic to Ni.
The reason why I type him Fe is because in conversations with other people, his emotions get in the way of his thought, represses Ti/Te and what he actually does is doesn't want to reach an understanding or a consensus with someone but rather wants to observe how the person reacts emotionally and ethically by the twists and turns of his conversations with them. This is observed with "I don't understand why you're being mean to me, would you please explain?" and he doesn't follow line of this logic, he goes on to talk about something unrelated like "your boyfriend x,y,z." Always, not with the purpose of reaching an understanding or coming to a conclusion, a settlement, consensus, but to further cat and mouse people around and that to me is "mean" "manipulative" "cunning" "sly" "unfair" and "unkind" an antithesis of what I refer to as Fi behavior once Fi has learned of the subject's emotions regarding topics. He seems to back off only when told "hey, you're hurting me." A blatant emotion, which is the only thing that he can read, otherwise, his cat and mouse game is to produce real emotions in others "look Jadae gets mad at this" "he's getting mad at this value."
Anyone can come up with ideas, they are not intrinsic to a particular type;
Ni is "something that could happen" Next year I'll go to Spain; weak ability with Ni is "I don't know what will happen in our relationship; I just don't know." Short sighteness with certain events in time, inability to picture things well from an accumulation of information available to that regard. "A fire is going to happen; I'm going to get caught cheating" Those are Ni a worry, a strike of event being foretold.
A good example of strong Ni is my mom, I didn't do my taxes on time one year because i wasn't well and she having accumulated those facts came back in a fire of frenzy and said "honey, if you don't do your taxes this this and this will happen to you." Compare that to my ESE cousin she noticed I didn't do my taxes and she said "shouldn't you do your taxes, isn't it about time you did?" Do you see the difference?
Strong Ni with my Ne because that's what I have available, I'd say "based on our compatibility we should make a really great match and we will live together and get married and have kids all in about this of time over this many months."
Ni may ponder on ideas, turning them over quietly in their mind, for long period of time; this makes Ni base types removed from people and connections a lot of the time, quiet, reflective, dreamy, internal, fairly inactive homebodies.
Ne potential spread out; take for instance is "that opportunity is great, I should take that" I think what you describe of him is Ne mobilizing. "I'm going to take this opportunity because it's a good idea." The idea already exists, the person themselves doesn't come up with it, they just utilize it. For instance when you recommend for someone to get a room mate and they find that that's a good idea, you didn't come up with that idea because you have a strong Ni/Ne, you came up with it for various reasons, maybe your life experience told you in that situation, the best action is this from having sensed it, or seen it, then the idea really came from S not N.
