EIE 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 EIE.
EIE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than SLE.
SLE 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 SLE into finishing any new project they start.
SLE tend to start more tasks and other projects than EIE, but the SLE are less likely to complete all of them.
EIE 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 EIE.
EIE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than SLE.
SLE have a relatively higher stress tolerance than EIE. EIE often struggle with continually changing situations more than SLE do.
EIE tend to be more idealistic with their heads-in-the-cloud. SLE, on the other hand, are more realistic and down-to-earth.
SLE are better at noticing details than EIE. EIE on the other hand, are better at seeing the big picture than SLE.
EIE are more focused on ideas and concepts than SLE. On the other hand, SLE are more focused (than EIE) on their surroundings.
SLE are more naturally comfortable with physical confrontations than EIE.
EIE are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas SLE are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
When conversing, SLE 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.
EIE are more likely to make decisions based on logical reasons than SLE, who are more likely to make decisions based on their own feelings.
SLE are often better at solving and minimizing interpersonal problems, where as EIE often struggle understanding them.
EIE are often more interested in studying systems, structures, and functionality than SLE.
SLE tend to prefer using persuasion as a means of convincing others to do something, where as EIE prefer to use argumentation as a means of convincing others.
SLE are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than EIE. However EIE in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than SLE.
EIE place greater value on their interests than SLE. For example, EIE will maintain high levels of energy and focus on an interest they value, even deprioritizing their other resources to maintain the interest. For example, EIE may spend a large amount of energy on an interest they value, often to the detriment of their time, sleep, relationships, money, etc.
SLE place greater value on their resources than EIE. For SLE, resources like their money, time, sleep, etc., fall into their "inner personal space," and the SLE will be more likely to deprioritize an interest if it starts to drain these resources too much.
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, SLE 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, SLE 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 SLE do.
When describing reality, EIE are more likely to talk about the properties and structure of reality. SLE 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 SLE. EIE are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
When solving a problem, SLE are more inclined (than EIE) 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.
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, EIE 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, EIE experience more discomfort (than SLE) if the project does not have a clearly delineated end-goal or result. This happens because EIE have more difficulty monitoring and understanding how the project is developing than SLE because they are outside of the process.
