EIE are relatively better at assessing the emotional atmosphere occurring in a group or during an activity than SLI.
When meeting someone knew, EIE are not as likely as SLI 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 SLI, 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.
SLI are more likely to believe in objective truths than EIE. That is, SLI 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 SLI. 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 SLI 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. SLI 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 SLI) 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.
SLI tend to internally combine emotional exchanges with other activities rather than separating them out like EIE. E.g., SLI 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 SLI. 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 SLI 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.
SLI are not as inclined to compare and verify concepts as EIE. SLI assume that these can have only one unique interpretation (the "correct" interpretation), and SLI often do not think about the fact that the other person may be interpreting them differently. Much more than EIE, SLI apply concepts such as "objective reality," "unequivocal facts," and de-emphasize concepts; SLI consider that they know the "right" way of doing things, how something "truly is," etc.
SLI 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 SLI be more externally predetermined. Additionally, SLI generally progress in relationships through stages, and therefore are more familiar with these stages than EIE. SLI tend to be more linear in their relationship progression than EIE, and SLI 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, SLI tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
SLI are relatively more flexible and tolerant than EIE.
EIE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than SLI.
SLI 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 SLI into finishing any new project they start.
SLI tend to start more tasks and other projects than EIE, but the SLI are less likely to complete all of them.
EIE 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 EIE.
EIE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than SLI.
SLI have a relatively higher stress tolerance than EIE. EIE often struggle with continually changing situations more than SLI do.
EIE tend to be more idealistic with their heads-in-the-cloud. SLI, on the other hand, are more realistic and down-to-earth.
SLI are better at noticing details than EIE. EIE on the other hand, are better at seeing the big picture than SLI.
EIE are more focused on ideas and concepts than SLI. On the other hand, SLI are more focused (than EIE) on their surroundings.
SLI are more naturally comfortable with physical confrontations than EIE.
EIE are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas SLI 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, 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 EIE would. On the other hand, EIE would be more cognizant of the potential risks and potential losses that may accompany the decision that SLI may unconsciously minimize.
SLI are rmore relaxed in their natural state than EIE. However SLI will mobilize and concentrate when needed to accomplish an objective. After the task has been completed, SLI demobilize again. This state of demobilization is the natural state of SLI.
When contemplating a task, it takes SLI longer time to mobilize than EIE; i.e., SLI 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, SLI are more likely than EIE to break up larger tasks into several stages. Then SLI mobilize to carry out each stage (and demobilize between the stages).
When getting ready to start a project, SLI spend more time planning and preparing for the project than EIE. In particular, SLI spend more time discussing the plan, discussing options and ways to approach the project, etc.)
When describing their reasoning for their actions, SLI (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 SLI 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 SLI 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 SLI, 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 SLI 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 SLI to focus on the fruits of their labor, about what their effort will yield. SLI on the other hand are more likely to focus on the environment they work in, e.g., their work conditions, conveniences, commute time, etc.
EIE' psychic energy more often flows outwards, whereas with SLI, their psychic energy more often flows inward.
SLI' energy levels tend to improve when they're alone whereas EIE' energy levels increase when they're interacting with larger groups.
EIE' energy levels tend to decrease when they're alone whereas SLI' energy levels will decrease when they're interacting with larger groups of people.
With regards to energy levels, EIE tend to have higher energy levels than SLI.
SLI are more often focused on their thoughts and feelings where as EIE are more often focused on their surroundings.
EIE tend to be more active and initiating with others where as SLI tend to be more passive and less initiating.
SLI often have a smaller, closer network of friends where as EIE often have a wider network of friends.
EIE are often more cognizant of their outwards appearance and are thus better at presenting themselves than SLI.
SLI are generally better at concentrating on specific tasks for longer periods of time than EIE.
EIE often prefer to work with others in a team where as SLI often prefer working alone.
SLI are more likely to make decisions based on logical reasons than EIE, who are more likely to make decisions based on their own feelings.
EIE are often better at solving and minimizing interpersonal problems, where as SLI often struggle understanding them.
SLI are often more interested in studying systems, structures, and functionality than EIE.
EIE tend to prefer using persuasion as a means of convincing others to do something, where as SLI prefer to use argumentation as a means of convincing others.
EIE are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than SLI. However SLI in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than EIE.
SLI place greater value on their interests than EIE. For example, SLI will maintain high levels of energy and focus on an interest they value, even deprioritizing their other resources to maintain the interest. For example, SLI may spend a large amount of energy on an interest they value, often to the detriment of their time, sleep, relationships, money, etc.
EIE place greater value on their resources than SLI. For EIE, resources like their money, time, sleep, etc., fall into their "inner personal space," and the EIE will be more likely to deprioritize an interest if it starts to drain these resources too much.
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, SLI 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, SLI experience more discomfort (than EIE) if the project does not have a clearly delineated end-goal or result. This happens because SLI have more difficulty monitoring and understanding how the project is developing than EIE because they are outside of the process.
