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