I know this wasn't directed at me, but while I think Socionics has some issues, I really like the Ni-EIE description for myself. It's probably the closest I've seen to a best fit for me. Also, I like the Socionics descriptions for cognitive functions a little better, as they seem more detached from cultural expectations.
This is probably the only ENFj description available on the internet that I actually find relatable (other than the CT visionary subtype):
ENFj-Ni:
Intense, impulsive, unpredictable, magnetic. Mood is labile, activity levels are erratic. More forceful and domineering in how they engage with people. Has a piercing, raw visceral awareness for getting inside of peoples heads. Invasively deciphers them without restraint, knows what makes them tick, and how to work them. Likes to test people and thrives on getting reactions out of people, especially if it involves pushing the envelope. When unhealthy, they can be extremely manipulative and very controlling of others, and takes license to "shape" those close to them to whatever they deem "necessary" for that person. Within their controlled exterior swells a volatile edginess that tends to make others uneasy - the impression is that one never knows if/when they might explode and how severely. Furiously confrontational if provoked, the force of anger capable in this type has no equal. Though at the same time their intense and enigmatic presence often draws people in with a mesmerizing sway. Likes to be mysterious, eccentric, weird, and is often drawn to very abstract and mystical thinking. Often has a highly vivid imagination and a powerful visionary creativity. Makes decisions and acts through inspiration and instinct, rather than through intellect and reason. Can get obsessively fixated over notions of struggle and sacrifice, the sheer fanaticism of which can fuel imperatives of cosmic significance in their mind. More unhealthy ones will glorify (ed. note: that's quite a strong word) violence and the darker macabre aspects of human nature.
The SLE descriptions also fit me quite well, perhaps even better.
