Extraverted intuition (Ne) - Intuition of Possibilities

It explores unusual and innovative ideas and enjoys connecting seemingly disparate concepts.

-
Potential and Possibilities: The vocabulary includes words related to alternatives, probability, hypothetical scenarios - options, alternatives, what ifs, chance.
-
Insight and Intuition: This theme emphasizes the sudden, intuitive grasp of a situation or pattern - hunches, sudden realizations, intuitive leaps.

Example of Ne expression:
