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