EII are rmore relaxed in their natural state than SLE. However EII will mobilize and concentrate when needed to accomplish an objective. After the task has been completed, EII demobilize again. This state of demobilization is the natural state of EII.
When contemplating a task, it takes EII longer time to mobilize than SLE; i.e., EII 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, EII are more likely than SLE to break up larger tasks into several stages. Then EII mobilize to carry out each stage (and demobilize between the stages).
When getting ready to start a project, EII spend more time planning and preparing for the project than SLE. In particular, EII spend more time discussing the plan, discussing options and ways to approach the project, etc.)
When describing their reasoning for their actions, EII (more so than SLE) 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, SLE are more likely than EII to mobilize for longer periods of time. Specifically, SLE tend to mobilize for an action early and stay mobilized for a longer period of time after the task has been completed. For SLE, this state of readiness is their natural state.
SLE are more likely than EII to tackle a task in its entirety, rather than breaking it up into smaller separate stages.
When doing a task, SLE are inclined to work for the sake of the result (for example, a reward or bonus for completing the task). In contrast to EII, SLE can renounce their comforts and conveniences for this; SLE 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, SLE are more likely than EII to focus on the moment when a decision is made and to speak in detail about the stages of its implementation.
When discussing work, SLE are more likely than EII to focus on the fruits of their labor, about what their effort will yield. EII on the other hand are more likely to focus on the environment they work in, e.g., their work conditions, conveniences, commute time, etc.
SLE' psychic energy more often flows outwards, whereas with EII, their psychic energy more often flows inward.
EII' 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 EII' 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 EII.
EII 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 EII tend to be more passive and less initiating.
EII 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 EII.
EII 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 EII often prefer working alone.
EII 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 EII.
EII are relatively more rigid and stubborn than SLE.
SLE are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. EII, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
EII tend to put more effort than SLE into finishing any new project they start.
SLE tend to start more tasks and other projects than EII, but the SLE are less likely to complete all of them.
EII 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 EII.
EII tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than SLE.
SLE have a relatively higher stress tolerance than EII. EII often struggle with continually changing situations more than SLE do.
EII 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 EII. EII on the other hand, are better at seeing the big picture than SLE.
EII are more focused on ideas and concepts than SLE. On the other hand, SLE are more focused (than EII) on their surroundings.
SLE are more naturally comfortable with physical confrontations than EII.
EII are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas SLE are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
EII are relatively better at assessing the emotional atmosphere occurring in a group or during an activity than SLE.
When meeting someone knew, EII are not as likely as SLE to perceive "getting to know somebody" as a special kind of activity. EII know very well whey they are getting acquainted (i.e., what the purpose of the relationship is, be it business, personal, travel, etc.). EII, in contrast with SLE, do not divide the process of getting acquainted into consecutive stages; rather EII 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 EII 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 EII and their relationship with the other person.
SLE are more likely to believe in objective truths than EII. That is, SLE are more likely to believe there is a correct or best way of doing something than EII.
EII are more inclined to believe there are relative truths than SLE. That is, this relativity is perceived by EII as an extenuation of the differing beliefs, opinions, intentions, etc. of each person.
When something is perceived by SLE as being incorrect, they are more likely (than EII) to tell the person who made the error what they did wrong and how to do it the right way. SLE are focused on who made the error and helping them to correct the mistake.
When something is perceived by EII as being incorrect, they are more likely (than SLE) to ask why it was done that way. Instead of necessarily trying to correct the person who made the error, EII attempt to understand the person's reason for their decision/action.
SLE tend to internally combine emotional exchanges with other activities rather than separating them out like EII. E.g., SLE see having fun occurring simultaneously with other activities, such as work or even serious affairs. EII 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 EII than SLE. This comparison not only concerns EII methods, but also their understanding, terminology, etc. EII 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 SLE who perceive terminology as "objective," EII understand personal differences behind terminology (this applies even to well established terms) and they attempt to compare and verify them.
SLE are not as inclined to compare and verify concepts as EII. SLE assume that these can have only one unique interpretation (the "correct" interpretation), and SLE often do not think about the fact that the other person may be interpreting them differently. Much more than EII, SLE apply concepts such as "objective reality," "unequivocal facts," and de-emphasize concepts; SLE consider that they know the "right" way of doing things, how something "truly is," etc.
SLE are more likely (than EII) 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 SLE be more externally predetermined. Additionally, SLE generally progress in relationships through stages, and therefore are more familiar with these stages than EII. SLE tend to be more linear in their relationship progression than EII, and SLE assign importance to the formalities of recognizing the start and end to each of these stages.
EII 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 EII often struggle understanding them.
EII 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 EII prefer to use argumentation as a means of convincing others.
SLE are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than EII. However EII in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than SLE.
EII place greater value on their interests than SLE. For example, EII will maintain high levels of energy and focus on an interest they value, even deprioritizing their other resources to maintain the interest. For example, EII 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 EII. 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.
EII pay more particular attention to aspects of a situation or plan that are insufficient or lacking. This can be interpreted by others as EII 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 EII would. On the other hand, EII 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, EII 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, EII experience more discomfort (than SLE) if the project does not have a clearly delineated end-goal or result. This happens because EII have more difficulty monitoring and understanding how the project is developing than SLE because they are outside of the process.
