IEE tend to be more idealistic with their heads-in-the-cloud. LSE, on the other hand, are more realistic and down-to-earth.
LSE are better at noticing details than IEE. IEE on the other hand, are better at seeing the big picture than LSE.
IEE are more focused on ideas and concepts than LSE. On the other hand, LSE are more focused (than IEE) on their surroundings.
LSE are more naturally comfortable with physical confrontations than IEE.
IEE are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas LSE are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
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, LSE 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, LSE 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 LSE do.
When describing reality, IEE are more likely to talk about the properties and structure of reality. LSE are more likely to describe reality as movements, interactions, and changes.
When developing a plan of action or process, LSE 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 LSE) 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 LSE because they are outside of the process.
LSE 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 LSE.
LSE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than IEE.
IEE are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. LSE, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
LSE tend to put more effort than IEE into finishing any new project they start.
IEE tend to start more tasks and other projects than LSE, but the IEE are less likely to complete all of them.
LSE 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 LSE.
LSE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than IEE.
IEE have a relatively higher stress tolerance than LSE. LSE often struggle with continually changing situations more than IEE do.
LSE are more likely to make decisions based on logical reasons than IEE, who are more likely to make decisions based on their own feelings.
IEE are often better at solving and minimizing interpersonal problems, where as LSE often struggle understanding them.
LSE are often more interested in studying systems, structures, and functionality than IEE.
IEE tend to prefer using persuasion as a means of convincing others to do something, where as LSE prefer to use argumentation as a means of convincing others.
IEE are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than LSE. However LSE in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than IEE.
LSE place greater value on their interests than IEE. For example, LSE will maintain high levels of energy and focus on an interest they value, even deprioritizing their other resources to maintain the interest. For example, LSE may spend a large amount of energy on an interest they value, often to the detriment of their time, sleep, relationships, money, etc.
IEE place greater value on their resources than LSE. For IEE, resources like their money, time, sleep, etc., fall into their "inner personal space," and the IEE will be more likely to deprioritize an interest if it starts to drain these resources too much.
When solving a problem, LSE rely more heavily on their generalized past experiences than IEE. LSE are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
When solving a problem, IEE are more inclined (than LSE) to solve it by relying predominantly on only the presently available information. Essentially, IEE will develop a process or method uniquely fitted towards the present problem, and this method is designed using the present conditions and information.
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, LSE tend to prefer more of a question and answer style format.
