LIE are more likely than EIE to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. LIE focus on individualism more than EIE.
LIE attitude towards a specific person (more so than EIE) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) LIE recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
EIE, more than LIE, 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 LIE. This is based on the ability of EIE to draw conclusions about the person based on the groups the person belongs to; LIE are more reluctant to make these inferences.
LIE 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 LIE often struggle understanding them.
LIE 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 LIE prefer to use argumentation as a means of convincing others.
EIE are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than LIE. However LIE in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than EIE.
LIE place greater value on their interests than EIE. For example, LIE will maintain high levels of energy and focus on an interest they value, even deprioritizing their other resources to maintain the interest. For example, LIE 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 LIE. 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.
LIE 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 LIE 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, LIE 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, LIE experience more discomfort (than EIE) if the project does not have a clearly delineated end-goal or result. This happens because LIE have more difficulty monitoring and understanding how the project is developing than EIE because they are outside of the process.
EIE are relatively better at assessing the emotional atmosphere occurring in a group or during an activity than LIE.
When meeting someone knew, EIE are not as likely as LIE to perceive "getting to know somebody" as a special kind of activity. EIE know very well whey they are getting acquainted (i.e., what the purpose of the relationship is, be it business, personal, travel, etc.). EIE, in contrast with LIE, do not divide the process of getting acquainted into consecutive stages; rather EIE 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 EIE 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 EIE and their relationship with the other person.
LIE are more likely to believe in objective truths than EIE. That is, LIE are more likely to believe there is a correct or best way of doing something than EIE.
EIE are more inclined to believe there are relative truths than LIE. That is, this relativity is perceived by EIE as an extenuation of the differing beliefs, opinions, intentions, etc. of each person.
When something is perceived by LIE as being incorrect, they are more likely (than EIE) to tell the person who made the error what they did wrong and how to do it the right way. LIE are focused on who made the error and helping them to correct the mistake.
When something is perceived by EIE as being incorrect, they are more likely (than LIE) to ask why it was done that way. Instead of necessarily trying to correct the person who made the error, EIE attempt to understand the person's reason for their decision/action.
LIE tend to internally combine emotional exchanges with other activities rather than separating them out like EIE. E.g., LIE see having fun occurring simultaneously with other activities, such as work or even serious affairs. EIE 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 EIE than LIE. This comparison not only concerns EIE methods, but also their understanding, terminology, etc. EIE 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 LIE who perceive terminology as "objective," EIE understand personal differences behind terminology (this applies even to well established terms) and they attempt to compare and verify them.
LIE are not as inclined to compare and verify concepts as EIE. LIE assume that these can have only one unique interpretation (the "correct" interpretation), and LIE often do not think about the fact that the other person may be interpreting them differently. Much more than EIE, LIE apply concepts such as "objective reality," "unequivocal facts," and de-emphasize concepts; LIE consider that they know the "right" way of doing things, how something "truly is," etc.
LIE are more likely (than EIE) 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 LIE be more externally predetermined. Additionally, LIE generally progress in relationships through stages, and therefore are more familiar with these stages than EIE. LIE tend to be more linear in their relationship progression than EIE, and LIE assign importance to the formalities of recognizing the start and end to each of these stages.
EIE pay more particular attention to aspects of a situation or plan that are insufficient or lacking. This can be interpreted by others as EIE having a negative assessment of various situations and events (.e.g, "the glass is half empty). On the other hand, LIE 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, LIE tend to focus more on how the choice could benefit them (what it would potentially yield) than EIE would. On the other hand, EIE would be more cognizant of the potential risks and potential losses that may accompany the decision that LIE may unconsciously minimize.
When conversing, LIE 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, EIE tend to prefer more of a question and answer style format.
