1. Remember IEI-Ni are moving away from Fe which isn’t even their main function (so it is much weaker than it would be for an EIE-Ni). When I think of IEI-Ni artistic expression, @Aylen ‘s profile picture comes to mind. They move away from the Fe and indulge in the depth of Ni. Depth is always a goal for IEI-Ni’s while vocal expression of one’s self is more of a characteristic owned by IEI-Fe’s. As stated before, @bouncingoffclouds, going based on the images and posts granted, I do not perceive any evidence that she uses Fe on a constant basis, so at least with that we can write IEI-Fe off the table (No sign of being dramaticism, take this comment with a grain of salt). To reiterate, IEI-Ni’s goal is not aesthetics, it’s bringing light to deeps truths in reality (art is just a useful medium for them).
Yes, EII-Fi are very composed and consider norms to fullest extent. Th Fi delta types use is all about that unlike the Fi used by Gamma which is focused on individuality. However, let’s not underestimate the whimsical nature of Ne subtypes in the Delta quadra. For example, you would be surprised how well a mature IEE-Ne can navigate themselves socially, they almost seem as skillful as ENFj-Fe. As soon as they get out of the formal social sphere, you will find very expressive artistic preferences. Of course the IEE-Ne will be more expressive (this is why their type description says love bright colors) than the EII-Ne, but this is due to less Ne in the EII-Ne. They (EII-Ne’s) aren’t far behind though.
One more thing to mention, IEI-Ni’s do learn those practical skills that you mention for the sake of their loved ones. It’s in their subtype description.
2. Fashion isn’t always well correlated with artistic expression. This is a common mistake made by modern day society; that modest dressing is consequence of a dull personality. I blame the surge of bohemian art in the past century. Another thing, we may disagree on this from a subjective perspective, I think @bouncingoffclouds fashion sense is modest (at least from the pictures revealed)
3. Again I don’t have to look too far to make my point of this. Compare Aylen‘s posts and bouncingoffclouds’s posts. Classic example of Ni vs Ne. Brainstorming is not the same as “doubts and fluctuations” due to weak Se (Se dominants due experience doubts, but over different issues like assessing people’s talents) causing low decisiveness. IEI Ni thought patterns aren’t sporadic in nature.
