LSE tend to plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, SLI tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
SLI are relatively more flexible and tolerant than LSE.
LSE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than SLI.
SLI are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. LSE, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
LSE tend to put more effort than SLI into finishing any new project they start.
SLI tend to start more tasks and other projects than LSE, but the SLI are less likely to complete all of them.
LSE tend to have stiffer more angular movements. SLI tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
SLI tend to have a more democratic leadership style than LSE.
LSE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than SLI.
SLI have a relatively higher stress tolerance than LSE. LSE often struggle with continually changing situations more than SLI do.
When solving a problem, LSE rely more heavily on their generalized past experiences than SLI. LSE are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
When solving a problem, SLI are more inclined (than LSE) to solve it by relying predominantly on only the presently available information. Essentially, SLI will develop a process or method uniquely fitted towards the present problem, and this method is designed using the present conditions and information.
LSE 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 LSE 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.
LSE pay more particular attention to aspects of a situation or plan that are insufficient or lacking. This can be interpreted by others as LSE having a negative assessment of various situations and events (.e.g, "the glass is half empty). On the other hand, SLI pay more attention to what is actually present in a situation, and this can be interpreted as an affirmative or positive manifestation of the surrounding world, situations, possibilities, and prospects (e.g. "the glass is half full").
When assessing an option or available choice, SLI tend to focus more on how the choice could benefit them (what it would potentially yield) than LSE would. On the other hand, LSE would be more cognizant of the potential risks and potential losses that may accompany the decision that SLI may unconsciously minimize.
SLI' psychic energy more often flows outwards, whereas with LSE, their psychic energy more often flows inward.
LSE' 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 LSE' energy levels will decrease when they're interacting with larger groups of people.
With regards to energy levels, SLI tend to have higher energy levels than LSE.
LSE are more often focused on their thoughts and feelings where as SLI are more often focused on their surroundings.
SLI tend to be more active and initiating with others where as LSE tend to be more passive and less initiating.
LSE often have a smaller, closer network of friends where as SLI often have a wider network of friends.
SLI are often more cognizant of their outwards appearance and are thus better at presenting themselves than LSE.
LSE are generally better at concentrating on specific tasks for longer periods of time than SLI.
SLI often prefer to work with others in a team where as LSE often prefer working alone.
When planning to complete something, LSE are more likely to focus their attention on the goal itself, overlooking and deprioritizing the individual actions needed to reach that goal. On the other hand, SLI tend to focus their attention on the each action; i.e., they're focused on how each decision and choice is being made (towards reaching the goal), in a step by step process.
SLI are able to change and make adjustments to their goals more easily than LSE (depending on how progress is being made, etc.). LSE on the other hand, prefer to stick with their original goals.
LSE tend to judge their available options by how likely the option will help them reach their goal. If a choice no longer helps LSE reach their goals, it will be dismissed and discontinued. On the other hand, SLI prefer to continue pursuing their current option, opting to adjust their ultimate goal in order to fit the current choice.
When developing a plan of action or process, SLI tend to see themselves as "within the process"; they are immersed in it. Often because of this, they have more difficulty managing several plans at once. On the other hand, LSE tend to place themselves "outside of the process"; they dissociate from it. For them the process or situation is something external from themselves.
When working on a project, LSE experience more discomfort (than SLI) if the project does not have a clearly delineated end-goal or result. This happens because LSE have more difficulty monitoring and understanding how the project is developing than SLI because they are outside of the process.
