ESE' 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 ESE' energy levels increase when they're interacting with larger groups.
ESE' 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, ESE tend to have higher energy levels than IEI.
IEI are more often focused on their thoughts and feelings where as ESE are more often focused on their surroundings.
ESE 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 ESE often have a wider network of friends.
ESE 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 ESE.
ESE often prefer to work with others in a team where as IEI often prefer working alone.
IEI tend to be more idealistic with their heads-in-the-cloud. ESE, on the other hand, are more realistic and down-to-earth.
ESE are better at noticing details than IEI. IEI on the other hand, are better at seeing the big picture than ESE.
IEI are more focused on ideas and concepts than ESE. On the other hand, ESE are more focused (than IEI) on their surroundings.
ESE are more naturally comfortable with physical confrontations than IEI.
IEI are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas ESE are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
IEI are more likely (than ESE) 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.
ESE 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. ESE 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 conversing, ESE 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, IEI tend to prefer more of a question and answer style format.
ESE are rmore relaxed in their natural state than IEI. However ESE will mobilize and concentrate when needed to accomplish an objective. After the task has been completed, ESE demobilize again. This state of demobilization is the natural state of ESE.
When contemplating a task, it takes ESE longer time to mobilize than IEI; i.e., ESE 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, ESE are more likely than IEI to break up larger tasks into several stages. Then ESE mobilize to carry out each stage (and demobilize between the stages).
When getting ready to start a project, ESE spend more time planning and preparing for the project than IEI. In particular, ESE spend more time discussing the plan, discussing options and ways to approach the project, etc.)
When describing their reasoning for their actions, ESE (more so than IEI) 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, IEI are more likely than ESE to mobilize for longer periods of time. Specifically, IEI tend to mobilize for an action early and stay mobilized for a longer period of time after the task has been completed. For IEI, this state of readiness is their natural state.
IEI are more likely than ESE to tackle a task in its entirety, rather than breaking it up into smaller separate stages.
When doing a task, IEI are inclined to work for the sake of the result (for example, a reward or bonus for completing the task). In contrast to ESE, IEI can renounce their comforts and conveniences for this; IEI 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, IEI are more likely than ESE to focus on the moment when a decision is made and to speak in detail about the stages of its implementation.
When discussing work, IEI are more likely than ESE to focus on the fruits of their labor, about what their effort will yield. ESE on the other hand are more likely to focus on the environment they work in, e.g., their work conditions, conveniences, commute time, etc.
ESE are more likely than IEI to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. ESE focus on individualism more than IEI.
ESE attitude towards a specific person (more so than IEI) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) ESE recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
IEI, more than ESE, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. IEI focus on collectivism over individualism.
When IEI form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To IEI, it is incomprehensible how it is possible to belong to two opposing groups at the same time:, i.e., "you're either with us, or with them and against us."
IEI are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than ESE. This is based on the ability of IEI to draw conclusions about the person based on the groups the person belongs to; ESE are more reluctant to make these inferences.
ESE tend to plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, IEI tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
IEI are relatively more flexible and tolerant than ESE.
ESE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than IEI.
IEI are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. ESE, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
ESE tend to put more effort than IEI into finishing any new project they start.
IEI tend to start more tasks and other projects than ESE, but the IEI are less likely to complete all of them.
ESE tend to have stiffer more angular movements. IEI tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
IEI tend to have a more democratic leadership style than ESE.
ESE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than IEI.
IEI have a relatively higher stress tolerance than ESE. ESE often struggle with continually changing situations more than IEI do.
