"What else could I do with this in the big picture?" Ne types explore future possibilities, are confident and innovative, always looking for opportunity in situations. They hate routine, and are easily bored. Ne types can thread seemingly unrelated things together, somehow seeing the strategy, concept or pattern when others couldn't. Fun is dreaming up and pursuing options without any follow-through or accountability. They come up with an almost endless supply of options, and freely spew them into the world. Ne types enjoy group exchanges of ideas, challenges, and projects. They enjoy changing the situation rather than adjusting to it. They love new things, and would rather start something new than finish something old. They are naturally self-expressive. |
Extroverted iNtuitives live in the world of ideas and possibilities. They see where the world, and the people in it, could be more easily than where they currently are. Like the magician pulling a rabbit from the hat, the Extroverted iNtuitives can see patterns, options and possibilities that seem to come from nowhere. They thrive on variety and change, and throw themselves into their projects and ideas whole-heartedly, even the ones that seem impossible to achieve. They are change agents and "Pied Pipers", with an almost contagious enthusiasm that inspires others to follow where they lead, including fellow leaders. Ingenious, innovative, boundary-breakers who challenge - and sometimes even trample -- the status quo to move everyone toward a better future.
Extroverted iNtuitives are very expressive and communicative. They love the world of words, are the masters of metaphors, analogies, and word play. They always have a story to tell, and often use their stories to help motivate others. They can integrate many different ideas into a whole, and are good with generating new theories and brainstorming.
They are imaginative, creative, spontaneous and high energy, fearless risk-takers when inspired to do something. When they do slow down, stop or change direction, it's usually from meeting up with bureaucracy, boring routines, or endless practical details. Quick thinkers and improvisors, they are rarely caught off guard because they can almost always come up with a new option -- often better than the original one. They see and notice hidden meanings, and interpret them with surprising clarity.
