In theory, yes. That's the quadra values thing. An Si would value Ne but generally have weak Ne and therefore be drawn to people with stronger Ne.

What's perhaps less understood is the way this valuing manifests itself in a personality...whether it manifests itself as being sort of Ne (but in a weak way), or as having a sort of "hole" in the Ne department that an Si type would need others to fill.
Who uses the word value, and in what context? How is this consist with the theory, where does it say this? Does it also go Ne values Si? If people valued an inferior function, wouldn't they be using it more and it would no longer be inferior? What do values have to do with personality? How are values directly related to cognitive functions?

Just trying to understand.
