What words or images would you use to describe functions/cognitive processes? In the past, I've found this helpful for purposes of self and public illustration in discussion, particularly for those who haven't quite got a grasp on their modes of operation. Here's a link to a good resource site.
I had a go at it, so here's a few possibilities that I came up with (some were easier than others for me):
Ni converges (funnels, burrows, wormholes, is tumbling down the rabbit hole, a prophet)
Ne diverges (navigates, flies, warps, is supersonic travel, snowballs, an astronaut)
Si recalls, compares, a historian
Se interacts, experiences, a dancer
Fi guides, feels, achieves sanctuary, simmers, an artist
Fe leads, manifests, provides sanctuary, erupts, a social worker
Ti deconstructs, gathers, a researcher
Te constructs, assembles, a manager
