Ni-dominant. It exists nowadays in various post-Jungian models, many of which are really fascinating, having fleshed it out a lot.
The opposing function to Ni is Se, which creates a dichotomy of planning/foreseeing vs. doing/performing. The functions oscillate as a kind of duty cycle, so a lot of sages out there have hobbies as musicians, stage magicians, etc.
This dichotomy also effectively shuts out detail memory for context, dealing mostly with present vs. future. Even nostalgia is often ignored on the daily. So a Ni-dom will usually describe their memory as pattern-based, gestalt, more vague or general, etc.

- themodelplumber 3y agoNo insult intended... I don't really know how much it applies in your case, but since you really took on that viewpoint, that's when the personality theory side of me goes, "well if this is a favored viewpoint then there IS this idea about the population that favors this viewpoint" :-) And thoughts about GPT are generally crafted from general personality positions, in the absence of other relevant self-development experience. I agree, it's cool stuff
