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