ILE are rmore relaxed in their natural state than EIE. However ILE will mobilize and concentrate when needed to accomplish an objective. After the task has been completed, ILE demobilize again. This state of demobilization is the natural state of ILE.
When contemplating a task, it takes ILE longer time to mobilize than EIE; i.e., ILE 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, ILE are more likely than EIE to break up larger tasks into several stages. Then ILE mobilize to carry out each stage (and demobilize between the stages).
When getting ready to start a project, ILE spend more time planning and preparing for the project than EIE. In particular, ILE spend more time discussing the plan, discussing options and ways to approach the project, etc.)
When describing their reasoning for their actions, ILE (more so than EIE) 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, EIE are more likely than ILE to mobilize for longer periods of time. Specifically, EIE tend to mobilize for an action early and stay mobilized for a longer period of time after the task has been completed. For EIE, this state of readiness is their natural state.
EIE are more likely than ILE to tackle a task in its entirety, rather than breaking it up into smaller separate stages.
When doing a task, EIE are inclined to work for the sake of the result (for example, a reward or bonus for completing the task). In contrast to ILE, EIE can renounce their comforts and conveniences for this; EIE 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, EIE are more likely than ILE to focus on the moment when a decision is made and to speak in detail about the stages of its implementation.
When discussing work, EIE are more likely than ILE to focus on the fruits of their labor, about what their effort will yield. ILE on the other hand are more likely to focus on the environment they work in, e.g., their work conditions, conveniences, commute time, etc.
ILE are more likely than EIE to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. ILE focus on individualism more than EIE.
ILE attitude towards a specific person (more so than EIE) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) ILE recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
EIE, more than ILE, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. EIE focus on collectivism over individualism.
When EIE form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To EIE, 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."
EIE are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than ILE. This is based on the ability of EIE to draw conclusions about the person based on the groups the person belongs to; ILE are more reluctant to make these inferences.
ILE are more likely to make decisions based on logical reasons than EIE, who are more likely to make decisions based on their own feelings.
EIE are often better at solving and minimizing interpersonal problems, where as ILE often struggle understanding them.
ILE are often more interested in studying systems, structures, and functionality than EIE.
EIE tend to prefer using persuasion as a means of convincing others to do something, where as ILE prefer to use argumentation as a means of convincing others.
EIE are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than ILE. However ILE in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than EIE.
ILE place greater value on their interests than EIE. For example, ILE will maintain high levels of energy and focus on an interest they value, even deprioritizing their other resources to maintain the interest. For example, ILE may spend a large amount of energy on an interest they value, often to the detriment of their time, sleep, relationships, money, etc.
EIE place greater value on their resources than ILE. For EIE, resources like their money, time, sleep, etc., fall into their "inner personal space," and the EIE will be more likely to deprioritize an interest if it starts to drain these resources too much.
ILE 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, EIE 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, EIE are more likely to focus on how stage A leads to stage B, how stage B leads to stage C, etc. ILE, 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 EIE do.
When describing reality, ILE are more likely to talk about the properties and structure of reality. EIE are more likely to describe reality as movements, interactions, and changes.
ILE 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 ILE.
ILE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than EIE.
EIE are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. ILE, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
ILE tend to put more effort than EIE into finishing any new project they start.
EIE tend to start more tasks and other projects than ILE, but the EIE are less likely to complete all of them.
ILE 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 ILE.
ILE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than EIE.
EIE have a relatively higher stress tolerance than ILE. ILE often struggle with continually changing situations more than EIE do.
When planning to complete something, ILE 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 ILE (depending on how progress is being made, etc.). ILE on the other hand, prefer to stick with their original goals.
ILE tend to judge their available options by how likely the option will help them reach their goal. If a choice no longer helps ILE 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.
ILE pay more particular attention to aspects of a situation or plan that are insufficient or lacking. This can be interpreted by others as ILE 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 ILE would. On the other hand, ILE would be more cognizant of the potential risks and potential losses that may accompany the decision that EIE may unconsciously minimize.
