Yes, good question. The answer lies with the nature of the explorer process. And I don't think I've elaborated explicitly on this before, so I'll post it here.
Pe-Leads
In all Pe-leads, the energy excitation causes their psyche to 'speed up', and this is why you'll notice that Pe-lead will show a lot of articulation (Je) in terms of frequency - but not in force. Ne/Se are exploration processes and that cause excitation and momentum to emerge, but since they're not articulate processes, Ne/Se-leads still have to use Te/Fe to articulate their thoughts and they do so coated with that excitation, and with that higher amplitude. However, these excess signals will lack the rigidity and force that Je-leads would have. The signals will be emitting at a faster rate but with less intensity/intent or conviction behind the words.
Surprisingly, real Te-lead may actually give off less signals of Te than an SeFi, but the signals will be of a different sort. Each signal will seem like it's coming from the center of their being, and be deliberate, while Pe-leads will sort of casually fling the gesticulations around here and there as they flow along. Je-leads also have tertiary Pe, but it's within the confines/umbrella of the judgment wheel, so the energy won't overtake that solidity in body/frame.
This is why the dominant function shouldn't be gauged solely on frequency of use (i.e. "a person shows signals of Fe the most, therefore they must be Fe-lead") since that isn't always true. The signals needs to be identified as well as how they're being used with their surrounding functions. Identifying the functions can be done via the static cues for each function, but the placement requires looking at whether they're J or P lead, whether they're Ji/Je/Pi/Pe and how naturally does their energy recede and in what direction in each function pair.
It's definitely complex.
I personally narrow down the options differently depending on what is most apparent/obvious, depending on their development also. If a person is, say, clearly using Ti>Fe and Ne>Si, then it becomes a question of whether they're TiNe or NeTi and for that I refer to the J vs P signals. In another case, if the person is clearly a perception-lead, using Se/Ni and Fe/Ti, then that'd place them at either NiFe or SeTi. Ironically polar types can be some of the most challenging to tell apart because the functions actually are in the right lineup, just reversed in their energy-flow. So what to look for is whether their energy is natively receding or exerting and if they're inertial (Pi viscous swaying) or momentum (Pe excitation/swaying).

I see you still have left the possibility open for Blurger to actually be Ni/Te, so the difference may be difficult to discern. How do we best narrow down the options?
