EIE are relatively better at assessing the emotional atmosphere occurring in a group or during an activity than SEE.
When meeting someone knew, EIE are not as likely as SEE 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 SEE, 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.
SEE are more likely to believe in objective truths than EIE. That is, SEE 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 SEE. 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 SEE 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. SEE 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 SEE) 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.
SEE tend to internally combine emotional exchanges with other activities rather than separating them out like EIE. E.g., SEE 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 SEE. 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 SEE 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.
SEE are not as inclined to compare and verify concepts as EIE. SEE assume that these can have only one unique interpretation (the "correct" interpretation), and SEE often do not think about the fact that the other person may be interpreting them differently. Much more than EIE, SEE apply concepts such as "objective reality," "unequivocal facts," and de-emphasize concepts; SEE consider that they know the "right" way of doing things, how something "truly is," etc.
SEE 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 SEE be more externally predetermined. Additionally, SEE generally progress in relationships through stages, and therefore are more familiar with these stages than EIE. SEE tend to be more linear in their relationship progression than EIE, and SEE 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, SEE tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
SEE are relatively more flexible and tolerant than EIE.
EIE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than SEE.
SEE 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 SEE into finishing any new project they start.
SEE tend to start more tasks and other projects than EIE, but the SEE are less likely to complete all of them.
EIE tend to have stiffer more angular movements. SEE tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
SEE tend to have a more democratic leadership style than EIE.
EIE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than SEE.
SEE have a relatively higher stress tolerance than EIE. EIE often struggle with continually changing situations more than SEE do.
EIE tend to be more idealistic with their heads-in-the-cloud. SEE, on the other hand, are more realistic and down-to-earth.
SEE are better at noticing details than EIE. EIE on the other hand, are better at seeing the big picture than SEE.
EIE are more focused on ideas and concepts than SEE. On the other hand, SEE are more focused (than EIE) on their surroundings.
SEE are more naturally comfortable with physical confrontations than EIE.
EIE are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas SEE are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
EIE pay more particular attention to aspects of a situation or plan that are insufficient or lacking. This can be interpreted by others as EIE having a negative assessment of various situations and events (.e.g, "the glass is half empty). On the other hand, SEE 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, SEE tend to focus more on how the choice could benefit them (what it would potentially yield) than EIE would. On the other hand, EIE would be more cognizant of the potential risks and potential losses that may accompany the decision that SEE may unconsciously minimize.
EIE are more likely than SEE to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. EIE focus on individualism more than SEE.
EIE attitude towards a specific person (more so than SEE) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) EIE recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
SEE, more than EIE, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. SEE focus on collectivism over individualism.
When SEE form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To SEE, 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."
SEE are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than EIE. This is based on the ability of SEE to draw conclusions about the person based on the groups the person belongs to; EIE are more reluctant to make these inferences.
EIE 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, SEE 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, SEE are more likely to focus on how stage A leads to stage B, how stage B leads to stage C, etc. EIE, 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 SEE do.
When describing reality, EIE are more likely to talk about the properties and structure of reality. SEE are more likely to describe reality as movements, interactions, and changes.
When solving a problem, EIE rely more heavily on their generalized past experiences than SEE. EIE are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
When solving a problem, SEE are more inclined (than EIE) to solve it by relying predominantly on only the presently available information. Essentially, SEE will develop a process or method uniquely fitted towards the present problem, and this method is designed using the present conditions and information.
EIE are more likely (than SEE) 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.
SEE are more likely than EIE 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. SEE 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.
