Ni, introverted intuition - the memory function

[Tigerfadder]

I do not think Ne types really value memory. They want everything to follow the path that comes natural at the time and does not make leaps.

It depends on what you define as 'memory'. I can assure you that Ne base types use a lot of it. However, when they are constructing a mental Ne picture of something, it is not specific memories they refer to, but the abstracts (essence) extracted from those memories, even though they might elaborate on specific memories to explain their insights. But this is not different from what Ni base types do. They too refer to abstracts extracted from their memories. The difference between Ne and Ni types is the type of abstracts: for Ne types the abstracts are static in nature, referring to the non-physical aspects of objects, for Ni types they are dynamic, referring to the non-physical aspects of processes or 'behaviors'.

Same thing with Se and Si: they too focus on certain 'essences' of phenomena, but again different in nature compared to Ne and Ni.

Well you can not say that each element in themselves have a memory. That is like saying water have memory. Which it kind of got but not stored, it have a history. That is Ni.

So tell me, which IE does not have a memory? Or to put it differently, which IE does not rely on memories and experience in attempts at understanding reality (or facets of reality)?

One is basically memory and no IE have memory, the individual got it.

Okay, I get it. This is not an information exchange, but you fishing for applause. Smart ass.
