Extraverted Intuition (Ne)

The Catalyst of Possibilities: Connecting Disparate Worlds

⚙️ Core Cognitive Mechanics

Ne looks at any object, situation, or concept and asks 'What else could this be? What does this connect to?'. It draws analogies across wildly different domains, making Ne users naturally witty, versatile, and visionary innovators.
