SLI, more than LIE, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. SLI focus on collectivism over individualism.
When SLI form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To SLI, it is incomprehensible how it is possible to belong to two opposing groups at the same time:, i.e., "you're either with us, or with them and against us."
SLI are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than LIE. This is based on the ability of SLI to draw conclusions about the person based on the groups the person belongs to; LIE are more reluctant to make these inferences.

LIE are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas SLI are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
LIE are more likely (than SLI) to seek new and novel experiences rather than returning to something already lived through. They will generally only re-read a book, re-watch a movie, or revisit the same place if they have forgotten it or are hoping to learn something new from it.
SLI are more likely than LIE to use "emotional anchors" that resonate with their internal emotional condition. These emotional anchors could be a book, a movie, a place, a song, etc. SLI use these anchors to strengthen their inner emotional state and thus will repeat the experience: e.g., re-reading a book, re-watching a movie, continually going back to a place to experience the emotions associated with it.
LIE are rmore relaxed in their natural state than SLI. However LIE will mobilize and concentrate when needed to accomplish an objective. After the task has been completed, LIE demobilize again. This state of demobilization is the natural state of LIE.
When contemplating a task, it takes LIE longer time to mobilize than SLI; i.e., LIE prefer to spend some time in a more natural state of relaxedness which will then prepare them to subsequently mobilize and concentrate at the crucial moments, improving their performance.
When working on a project, LIE are more likely than SLI to break up larger tasks into several stages. Then LIE mobilize to carry out each stage (and demobilize between the stages).

When it comes to completing a task, SLI are more likely than LIE to mobilize for longer periods of time. Specifically, SLI tend to mobilize for an action early and stay mobilized for a longer period of time after the task has been completed. For SLI, this state of readiness is their natural state.
SLI are more likely than LIE to tackle a task in its entirety, rather than breaking it up into smaller separate stages.
When doing a task, SLI are inclined to work for the sake of the result (for example, a reward or bonus for completing the task). In contrast to LIE, SLI can renounce their comforts and conveniences for this; SLI evaluate their place of work by looking at what returns they get for the effort they invested (e.g., monetary, prestige, etc.).
When describing why they undertook a project, SLI are more likely than LIE to focus on the moment when a decision is made and to speak in detail about the stages of its implementation.
When discussing work, SLI are more likely than LIE to focus on the fruits of their labor, about what their effort will yield. LIE on the other hand are more likely to focus on the environment they work in, e.g., their work conditions, conveniences, commute time, etc.

LIE' energy levels tend to improve when they're alone whereas SLI' energy levels increase when they're interacting with larger groups.
SLI' energy levels tend to decrease when they're alone whereas LIE' energy levels will decrease when they're interacting with larger groups of people.

SLI often prefer to work with others in a team where as LIE often prefer working alone.
When conversing, SLI types are inclined to communicate in the form of monologues, where each party has "its turn." Because of that they subconsciously attempt to transform a dialogue into a series of monologues. Conversely, LIE tend to prefer more of a question and answer style format.
