LIE are more likely than EII to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. LIE focus on individualism more than EII.
LIE attitude towards a specific person (more so than EII) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) LIE recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
EII, more than LIE, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. EII focus on collectivism over individualism.
When EII form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To EII, 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."
EII are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than LIE. This is based on the ability of EII 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 EII, who are more likely to make decisions based on their own feelings.
EII 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 EII.
EII 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.
EII are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than LIE. However LIE in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than EII.
LIE place greater value on their interests than EII. 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.
EII place greater value on their resources than LIE. For EII, resources like their money, time, sleep, etc., fall into their "inner personal space," and the EII will be more likely to deprioritize an interest if it starts to drain these resources too much.
LIE are more likely (than EII) 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.
EII 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. EII 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, EII 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 EII) 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 EII because they are outside of the process.
EII are rmore relaxed in their natural state than LIE. However EII will mobilize and concentrate when needed to accomplish an objective. After the task has been completed, EII demobilize again. This state of demobilization is the natural state of EII.
When contemplating a task, it takes EII longer time to mobilize than LIE; i.e., EII 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, EII are more likely than LIE to break up larger tasks into several stages. Then EII mobilize to carry out each stage (and demobilize between the stages).
When getting ready to start a project, EII spend more time planning and preparing for the project than LIE. In particular, EII spend more time discussing the plan, discussing options and ways to approach the project, etc.)
When describing their reasoning for their actions, EII (more so than LIE) 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, LIE are more likely than EII to mobilize for longer periods of time. Specifically, LIE tend to mobilize for an action early and stay mobilized for a longer period of time after the task has been completed. For LIE, this state of readiness is their natural state.
LIE are more likely than EII to tackle a task in its entirety, rather than breaking it up into smaller separate stages.
When doing a task, LIE are inclined to work for the sake of the result (for example, a reward or bonus for completing the task). In contrast to EII, LIE can renounce their comforts and conveniences for this; LIE 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, LIE are more likely than EII to focus on the moment when a decision is made and to speak in detail about the stages of its implementation.
When discussing work, LIE are more likely than EII to focus on the fruits of their labor, about what their effort will yield. EII on the other hand are more likely to focus on the environment they work in, e.g., their work conditions, conveniences, commute time, etc.
LIE' psychic energy more often flows outwards, whereas with EII, their psychic energy more often flows inward.
EII' energy levels tend to improve when they're alone whereas LIE' energy levels increase when they're interacting with larger groups.
LIE' energy levels tend to decrease when they're alone whereas EII' energy levels will decrease when they're interacting with larger groups of people.
With regards to energy levels, LIE tend to have higher energy levels than EII.
EII are more often focused on their thoughts and feelings where as LIE are more often focused on their surroundings.
LIE tend to be more active and initiating with others where as EII tend to be more passive and less initiating.
EII often have a smaller, closer network of friends where as LIE often have a wider network of friends.
LIE are often more cognizant of their outwards appearance and are thus better at presenting themselves than EII.
EII are generally better at concentrating on specific tasks for longer periods of time than LIE.
LIE often prefer to work with others in a team where as EII often prefer working alone.
When solving a problem, EII rely more heavily on their generalized past experiences than LIE. EII are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
When solving a problem, LIE are more inclined (than EII) to solve it by relying predominantly on only the presently available information. Essentially, LIE will develop a process or method uniquely fitted towards the present problem, and this method is designed using the present conditions and information.
