I don't think SEI is far-fetched or anything. Or maybe I do as I see Ni.
I find her way of talking interesting (it's spaced out and slow) and also her strategy of waiting out the war in ballet school (using the time to prepare herself so that when the war was over she would have the needed skills to move forward and so the time isn't wasted but used). I think she seems to use her Ni (or what I think is her Ni well) in the sense of "following her instincts" as she said in the interview Ryu posted... having a feel about when to wait, when to move and where etc. Her way of looking at changes in life seems Ni-ish, simply following her inner intuition about it while also saying that "you can't predict these things" because she probably sees them in a more complex organic way (I think often people who make more certain predictions all the time are sensors), and is comfortable with uncertainty.
She also has a sort of wise all-knowing air about her that I associate with IEIs.
Oh and in the interview Ryu posted she continued with her rather spacey way of talking trying to formulate her thoughts/memories/etc. into thorough responses that would precisely answer the question as much as she could, but the interviewer wasn't prepared to allow her to actually take the time needed to formulate her responses and kept cutting her off and trying to guess ahead at what she would say (which he seemed rather poor at doing). It's a pacing issue of the slower way that Ni types may generate thoughts/responses vs. his approach which does seem rather EJish to me (expecting an immediate yea or nay response without comprehending that some people actually need to think and formulate their ideas and can't just shoot off immediate answers).
