It's an Ne thing. The ability to sense the "essence" behind something is an Ne thing. Si dominants will use their Si and make sense of it through Fi and Ne. Pure Si alone is just lazy perception. It's the *awakened* Fi in us that makes us 'Si' things in a loving light. In other words, this is our hidden agenda: To percieve beauty and Love it.

(ENFp's are beautiful.)

Using Si in terms of Ne allows us to structure the gathering of information. Without NeFi's around, SiTe's will usually slack around. They will wander around with nothing to do, because there is nothing to activate our 'Fi' (so we have nothing to love and we end up bitter, hateful, and cold), and when there is nothing to activate our 'Ne' we have no structure and so we will just wander around...aimlessly...waiting for those sexy ENFp's to call for help.
