EIE' psychic energy more often flows outwards, whereas with IEI, their psychic energy more often flows inward.
IEI' 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 IEI' 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 IEI.
IEI 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 IEI tend to be more passive and less initiating.
IEI 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 IEI.
IEI 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 IEI often prefer working alone.
When solving a problem, IEI rely more heavily on their generalized past experiences than EIE. IEI are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
When solving a problem, EIE are more inclined (than IEI) to solve it by relying predominantly on only the presently available information. Essentially, EIE will develop a process or method uniquely fitted towards the present problem, and this method is designed using the present conditions and information.
IEI are more likely (than EIE) to seek new and novel experiences rather than returning to something already lived through. They will generally only re-read a book, re-watch a movie, or revisit the same place if they have forgotten it or are hoping to learn something new from it.
EIE are more likely than IEI to use "emotional anchors" that resonate with their internal emotional condition. These emotional anchors could be a book, a movie, a place, a song, etc. EIE use these anchors to strengthen their inner emotional state and thus will repeat the experience: e.g., re-reading a book, re-watching a movie, continually going back to a place to experience the emotions associated with it.
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, IEI 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, IEI experience more discomfort (than EIE) if the project does not have a clearly delineated end-goal or result. This happens because IEI have more difficulty monitoring and understanding how the project is developing than EIE because they are outside of the process.
IEI tend to plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, EIE tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
EIE are relatively more flexible and tolerant than IEI.
IEI are relatively more rigid and stubborn than EIE.
EIE are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. IEI, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
IEI tend to put more effort than EIE into finishing any new project they start.
EIE tend to start more tasks and other projects than IEI, but the EIE are less likely to complete all of them.
IEI tend to have stiffer more angular movements. EIE tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
EIE tend to have a more democratic leadership style than IEI.
IEI tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than EIE.
EIE have a relatively higher stress tolerance than IEI. IEI often struggle with continually changing situations more than EIE do.
When planning to complete something, IEI are more likely to focus their attention on the goal itself, overlooking and deprioritizing the individual actions needed to reach that goal. On the other hand, EIE tend to focus their attention on the each action; i.e., they're focused on how each decision and choice is being made (towards reaching the goal), in a step by step process.
EIE are able to change and make adjustments to their goals more easily than IEI (depending on how progress is being made, etc.). IEI on the other hand, prefer to stick with their original goals.
IEI tend to judge their available options by how likely the option will help them reach their goal. If a choice no longer helps IEI reach their goals, it will be dismissed and discontinued. On the other hand, EIE prefer to continue pursuing their current option, opting to adjust their ultimate goal in order to fit the current choice.
IEI pay more particular attention to aspects of a situation or plan that are insufficient or lacking. This can be interpreted by others as IEI having a negative assessment of various situations and events (.e.g, "the glass is half empty). On the other hand, EIE 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, EIE tend to focus more on how the choice could benefit them (what it would potentially yield) than IEI would. On the other hand, IEI would be more cognizant of the potential risks and potential losses that may accompany the decision that EIE may unconsciously minimize.
