Psyche Function: Expressed in risky and unconventional behavior.

Emotions: Curiosity and Surprise.

Group Role: Idea Generator (echelon: 1)

Behavior: Seeking novelties in any area, trying oneself in a new endeavor.

Time orientation: Future Perfect.

Curiosity.

The search for fluctuations in the field of probability and the maintenance of weak, yet unrealized options for development (alternatives to the dominant here-and-now scenario).

Behavior that is unconventional, associated with surprise and risk. The more of this function you have, the more unexpectedly and unconventionally you act towards others and are prone to taking risks.

State: Exploratory activity. A child brought into a room full of toys runs around, grabs, disassembles, assembles, tastes, and tries to play with everything all at once. Experiencing everything life has to offer. Exploring all possibilities.

Seeing something for the first time and being drawn to it like a magnet, without sensory brake mechanisms (that it's dangerous, that you might get hurt, that it could explode) - drawn to novelty. These are very curious people who are more attracted to new things and, therefore, more prone to risk because, on one hand, they want to experience new sensations and impressions, but they lack the sensory brakes that warn of bodily harm.

ILE: Prospects, interested in what doesn't exist yet - what is possible in the future, but isn't there yet, so it needs to be created. Always looking for where to dive in. Attracted like a magnet to new, interesting toys, gadgets, unconventional situations, especially if there are big prospects, like flights to Mars, etc. Seek new, discover, invent. Take risks with faith in success, show abilities. Believes in progress, positive changes, that contradictions will be resolved.

IEE: Alternative, what exists now but is hidden and unknown. For example, evaluating a person - assessing them based on unseen potentials, looking for hidden alternatives. If working as a correspondent, their task is to find an alternative point of view first and report on it. Driven by curiosity and the search for alternatives in everything. Advises on what truly exists, which others might not see. Sees where a person underestimates themselves and points out their hidden talents and values, encouraging them to develop these traits. Seek something different, find a way to do it differently, relative to what was. Insight, a view from another perspective.

Extraverted Ne: An interest in the new and yet-to-be realized, gaining the advantage of being a pioneer in exploring new possibilities.

Introverted Ne: Respect and support for the weak, betting on weak, always "background" but global and long-term trends.
