Don't you ever try to insult me
Ne is a Supernova
Ni is a Black Hole
That one MBTI summer messed me up. I can't have downwards spirals anymore. I just go "Oh I'm having Ni-Ti loop again. Time to break that one apart and use my Fe. No more logical thinking for me!! It's bad!! Time for some feelings and delusions!!"
Perceiving function: Ne
Brief explaination. May change/update later.
___
Ne - Extroverted Intuition
Extroverted intuition likes to connect external details and find patterns in order to create new ideas. It sees future possibilities. Ne can be curious and experimental, seeing connections between scattered ideas. Mentally energetic and creative, Ne users tend to have a restless mind. Ne is better with interpreting the big picture rather than details.
Ne in different positions:
Dominant Ne: ENFP, ENTP
ENxPs are known for being the energetic brain stormers and for their creativity. They like to play with all sorts of ideas and connections. They see the hidden connections and meanings behind things. Typically future oriented, they can think of the future possibilities that a choice may lead them to. Ne doms are flexible, constantly formulating and modifying their ideas.
Auxiliary Ne: INFP, INTP
Aux Ne constantly questions the world around them. They can be particular about what ideas to analyze though. Their Tertiary Si is a like a filtering system for their analysis process, making them choose what they like personally to analyze. E.g Ne can help Ti understand and pick apart complex systems. Ne can help Fi understand their morals and values and may come up with other things to invest their energy into.
Tertiary Ne: ESFJ, ESTJ
ESxJs may be skeptical of theoretical and/or unproven ideas. Si only wants to trust what's already been established as true and useful. With development, ESxJs can pick up hidden meanings and new ideas. It can help them be more creative in the way they think and solve issues.
Inferior Ne: ISFJ, ISTJ
ISxJs are prone to shutting down or being hesitant to new ideas and situations. They don't like change often and would rather have an idea of what they are diving into. It can take them awhile to come to a decision since their inferior Ne can make them doubtful. At their worst, it can manifest in overthinking and anxiety from conjuring too many possible negative outcomes.

Perceiving function: Si
Brief explaination. May change/update later.
Si - Introverted Sensing
Introverted sensing relies on past experiences to look for proven answers to solve present and future problems. Si prefers familiarity and conventionality, not really the experimental/curious function. Consistency is important for Si. Si likes structure and are often quite organized both externally and internally. They take the details they see in the outside world and fix it to their inner world. Si is naturally good at recognizing inner bodily sensations such as hunger, numbness, pain, etc.
Si in different positions:
Dominant Si: ISFJ, ISTJ
ISxJs want to observe the details around them and process them in order to connect what is going on before taking action. If they recognize a situation that's familiar, they will usually choose a tried-and-true method. They are the most in tune with their body, always being sure to take care of themselves by having good routines and health. They prefer to be organized and structured both internally and externally so it is easier for them to go back to it (recall details easily so they often have good memory; can easily help find things physically due to their memory and organization).
Auxiliary Si: ESFJ, ESTJ
Aux Si likes to stick to what they already know. They may be the enforcers of already set rules and traditions. Tertiary Ne can make ESxJs curious at times, but they either don't act on it or will try to study about their question/idea before jumping right into it. Depending on the extroverted functions, Si will help filter what is likely to be the successful for the situation (e.g Te - Si will implement a detailed plan that will be most efficient. Fe - Si will have a plan that is apropriate and achieves social harmony.)
Tertiary Si: INFP, INTP
Remembering important details can be a bit of a struggle for tertiary Si. Some days, INxPs can have good memory, other days not so much. Recognizing internal body sensations can be hard as well; it may take them awhile to figure out what they're experiencing. INxPs may rely too much on their own past experiences and be closed minded to others'. They may eventually become curious about the foundation of things; picking up and recalling details may become easier. They may become nostalgic and sentimental.
Inferior Si: ENFP, ENTP
For ENxPs, doing daily mundane tasks can be a challenge. Since their mind is often preoccupied with all sorts of thoughts, their energy to do simple daily things is low. Carrying a routine can be a struggle since Ne doms like having variety. They may be clumsy as well and not recognize when they've been physically injured.

MBTI Cognitive Functions
A brief explanation on cognitive functions. As I'm still learning about MBTI myself, I may update/change this.
If you are interested in kpop and typology, I do typology analysis for idols
___
The cognitive functions are what each personality type uses to work through the world. How they make decisions and take action, how they process information and perceive the world. There are 4 extroverted functions and 4 introverted functions, a total of 8 functions. They are split between Judging and Perceiving functions.
Introversion/extroversion in MBTI is NOT the same as social introversion/extroversion. A person can be introverted socially and extroverted MBTI wise as they lead with a dominant extroverted function and vice versa.
All 16 types use all 8 but will have 4 in their main stack. The other 4 are in the shadow stack, which may used under stress and/or facing really new/unfamiliar situations.
Main stack: Dominant - Auxiliary - Tertiary - Inferior
Dominant function is the most comfortable function to use.
Auxiliary supports the dominant function.
Tertiary is a neutral spot. It can help the dominant and/or aux function but may also be a little awkward to use.
Inferior is most confusing function to use. Usage can be improved over time and with a lot effort though.
___
Judging functions: Functions that show how we make decisions and take action.
These would be Feeling and Thinking functions:
Fe, Fi, Te, and Ti
Fe - Extroverted Feeling (ExFJ, IxFJ, ExTP, IxTP)
Values human connections
Values group harmony; dislikes conflict
Tries to see what's best emotionally for others; recognizes other's feelings
May care about other's perspective of them
Fi - Introverted Feeling (IxFP, ExFP, IxTJ, ExTJ)
Focused on own emotions, personal values and morals; analyze decisions against their own beliefs
Constantly analyzing their own emotions and morals to see if they need to improve their own character
Wants to be authentic and genuine
Te - Extroverted Thinking (ExTJ, IxTJ, ExFP, IxFP)
Objective and fair
Focuses on efficiency and order
Uses knowledge in the external world
Relies on established facts and sources; doesn't care to pick it apart as long as it's true and usable
Ti - Introverted Thinking (IxTP, ExTP, IxFJ, ExFJ)
Subjective thinking
Picks apart info to see what makes sense logically to them. Then creates an internal system for consistent info
Very logical and analytical
___
Perceiving functions: Functions that show how we think and process information
These would be Sensing and Intuitive functions:
Se, Si, Ne, and Ni
Se - Extroverted Sensing (ESxP, ISxP, ENxJ, INxJ)
Uses the 5 senses
Present minded
Observe, experience, and react in the moment
Realistic and grounded
Si - Introverted Sensing (ISxJ, ESxJ, INxP, ENxP)
Makes an inner perception of the outside world
Relies on personal experiences
Prefers familiarity and structure
Tends to be detail oriented
Ne - Extroverted Intuition (ENxP, INxP, ESxJ, ISxJ)
Gains ideas from the external world; creates and sees many future possibilities
Makes external connections and patterns
Theoretical, experimental
Ni - Introverted Intuition (INxJ, ENxJ, ISxP, ESxP)
Focused on personal insights, impressions, and ideas
"Hunches". Ni picks up info subconsciously and the answer may pop up "randomly"
Convergent; may have a few ideas here and there but it all comes down to one idea/answer
___
The pattern of functions can go
JPPJ or PJJP
E.g
ENTJ (Te - Ni - Se - Fi) - JPPJ
INTJ (Ni - Te - Fi - Se) - PJJP
___
Depending on where the function is in the stack, it is used and expressed differently. E.g Te doms (ExTJ) will often have no problem initiating and finishing tasks as Te is focused on reaching goals. It is natural for them to be able to get things going. However, Fi doms (IxFP) have Te as their inferior; they may struggle to finish projects or take initiative. May struggle to separate feelings from situations that require being objective.
___
Loops and Grips can occur when under stress.
A type in a loop can be stuck cycling between their dominant and tertiary function, completely ignoring their other functions.
A type in a grip can be stuck using their inferior function in a very unhealthy way. They are very unlike their usual personality.
