EIE are relatively better at assessing the emotional atmosphere occurring in a group or during an activity than IEE.
When meeting someone knew, EIE are not as likely as IEE to perceive "getting to know somebody" as a special kind of activity. EIE know very well whey they are getting acquainted (i.e., what the purpose of the relationship is, be it business, personal, travel, etc.). EIE, in contrast with IEE, do not divide the process of getting acquainted into consecutive stages; rather EIE immediately establish the necessary emotional distance in contact and can regulate it if needed. To bridge the gap between poorly acquainted people in a group EIE amp up the emotional tone; this can be mutually experienced happiness or misfortune. The name and title of the person are of secondary relevance to EIE and their relationship with the other person.
IEE are more likely to believe in objective truths than EIE. That is, IEE are more likely to believe there is a correct or best way of doing something than EIE.
EIE are more inclined to believe there are relative truths than IEE. That is, this relativity is perceived by EIE as an extenuation of the differing beliefs, opinions, intentions, etc. of each person.
When something is perceived by IEE as being incorrect, they are more likely (than EIE) to tell the person who made the error what they did wrong and how to do it the right way. IEE are focused on who made the error and helping them to correct the mistake.
When something is perceived by EIE as being incorrect, they are more likely (than IEE) to ask why it was done that way. Instead of necessarily trying to correct the person who made the error, EIE attempt to understand the person's reason for their decision/action.
IEE tend to internally combine emotional exchanges with other activities rather than separating them out like EIE. E.g., IEE see having fun occurring simultaneously with other activities, such as work or even serious affairs. EIE are more likely to internally separate out having fun with other activities, although the two can be interchanged at a high frequency.
The "comparison and verification of concepts" is a more common phenomenon among EIE than IEE. This comparison not only concerns EIE methods, but also their understanding, terminology, etc. EIE are attuned to the fact that different people might understand and interpret different concepts and terms differently. They perceive terminology as well as actions of other people as part of the subjective concept inseparable from personal opinion, position, intent, etc. In contrast to IEE who perceive terminology as "objective," EIE understand personal differences behind terminology (this applies even to well established terms) and they attempt to compare and verify them.
IEE are not as inclined to compare and verify concepts as EIE. IEE assume that these can have only one unique interpretation (the "correct" interpretation), and IEE often do not think about the fact that the other person may be interpreting them differently. Much more than EIE, IEE apply concepts such as "objective reality," "unequivocal facts," and de-emphasize concepts; IEE consider that they know the "right" way of doing things, how something "truly is," etc.
IEE are more likely (than EIE) to use special rituals or other culturally accepted formalities when forming relationships with others. What that means is that the emotional proximity and relationship status for IEE be more externally predetermined. Additionally, IEE generally progress in relationships through stages, and therefore are more familiar with these stages than EIE. IEE tend to be more linear in their relationship progression than EIE, and IEE assign importance to the formalities of recognizing the start and end to each of these stages.
EIE tend to plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, IEE tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
IEE are relatively more flexible and tolerant than EIE.
EIE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than IEE.
IEE are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. EIE, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
EIE tend to put more effort than IEE into finishing any new project they start.
IEE tend to start more tasks and other projects than EIE, but the IEE are less likely to complete all of them.
EIE tend to have stiffer more angular movements. IEE tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
IEE tend to have a more democratic leadership style than EIE.
EIE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than IEE.
IEE have a relatively higher stress tolerance than EIE. EIE often struggle with continually changing situations more than IEE do.
When planning to complete something, EIE 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, IEE 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.
IEE are able to change and make adjustments to their goals more easily than EIE (depending on how progress is being made, etc.). EIE on the other hand, prefer to stick with their original goals.
EIE tend to judge their available options by how likely the option will help them reach their goal. If a choice no longer helps EIE reach their goals, it will be dismissed and discontinued. On the other hand, IEE prefer to continue pursuing their current option, opting to adjust their ultimate goal in order to fit the current choice.
When conversing, IEE 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, EIE tend to prefer more of a question and answer style format.
IEE are rmore relaxed in their natural state than EIE. However IEE will mobilize and concentrate when needed to accomplish an objective. After the task has been completed, IEE demobilize again. This state of demobilization is the natural state of IEE.
When contemplating a task, it takes IEE longer time to mobilize than EIE; i.e., IEE 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, IEE are more likely than EIE to break up larger tasks into several stages. Then IEE mobilize to carry out each stage (and demobilize between the stages).
When getting ready to start a project, IEE spend more time planning and preparing for the project than EIE. In particular, IEE spend more time discussing the plan, discussing options and ways to approach the project, etc.)
When describing their reasoning for their actions, IEE (more so than EIE) tend describe how and why they came to a certain decision, and focus less on the timing and initiation of the action.
When it comes to completing a task, EIE are more likely than IEE to mobilize for longer periods of time. Specifically, EIE tend to mobilize for an action early and stay mobilized for a longer period of time after the task has been completed. For EIE, this state of readiness is their natural state.
EIE are more likely than IEE to tackle a task in its entirety, rather than breaking it up into smaller separate stages.
When doing a task, EIE are inclined to work for the sake of the result (for example, a reward or bonus for completing the task). In contrast to IEE, EIE can renounce their comforts and conveniences for this; EIE 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, EIE are more likely than IEE to focus on the moment when a decision is made and to speak in detail about the stages of its implementation.
When discussing work, EIE are more likely than IEE to focus on the fruits of their labor, about what their effort will yield. IEE on the other hand are more likely to focus on the environment they work in, e.g., their work conditions, conveniences, commute time, etc.
IEE tend to perceive events in an episodic manner, i.e., they see events evolve in discrete states rather than continuous changes. On the other hand, EIE tend to perceive events in a continuous sequence; i.e., they see events evolving fluidly rather that one state to the next.
When describing the stages of an event, EIE are more likely to focus on how stage A leads to stage B, how stage B leads to stage C, etc. IEE, on the other hand, focus more on the stages themselves without necessarily seeing or emphasizing the transitions or causes and effects of the stages to the extent that EIE do.
When describing reality, IEE are more likely to talk about the properties and structure of reality. EIE are more likely to describe reality as movements, interactions, and changes.
IEE are more likely (than EIE) 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.
EIE are more likely than IEE 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. EIE 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 developing a plan of action or process, EIE 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, IEE 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, IEE experience more discomfort (than EIE) if the project does not have a clearly delineated end-goal or result. This happens because IEE have more difficulty monitoring and understanding how the project is developing than EIE because they are outside of the process.
