LIE tend to be more idealistic with their heads-in-the-cloud. ESI, on the other hand, are more realistic and down-to-earth.
ESI are better at noticing details than LIE. LIE on the other hand, are better at seeing the big picture than ESI.
LIE are more focused on ideas and concepts than ESI. On the other hand, ESI are more focused (than LIE) on their surroundings.
ESI are more naturally comfortable with physical confrontations than LIE.
LIE are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas ESI are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
LIE are more likely to make decisions based on logical reasons than ESI, who are more likely to make decisions based on their own feelings.
ESI 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 ESI.
ESI 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.
ESI are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than LIE. However LIE in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than ESI.
LIE place greater value on their interests than ESI. 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.
ESI place greater value on their resources than LIE. For ESI, resources like their money, time, sleep, etc., fall into their "inner personal space," and the ESI will be more likely to deprioritize an interest if it starts to drain these resources too much.
When planning to complete something, LIE 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, ESI 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.
ESI are able to change and make adjustments to their goals more easily than LIE (depending on how progress is being made, etc.). LIE on the other hand, prefer to stick with their original goals.
LIE tend to judge their available options by how likely the option will help them reach their goal. If a choice no longer helps LIE reach their goals, it will be dismissed and discontinued. On the other hand, ESI prefer to continue pursuing their current option, opting to adjust their ultimate goal in order to fit the current choice.
LIE are more likely (than ESI) 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.
ESI 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. ESI 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.
ESI' psychic energy more often flows outwards, whereas with LIE, their psychic energy more often flows inward.
LIE' energy levels tend to improve when they're alone whereas ESI' energy levels increase when they're interacting with larger groups.
ESI' energy levels tend to decrease when they're alone whereas LIE' energy levels will decrease when they're interacting with larger groups of people.
With regards to energy levels, ESI tend to have higher energy levels than LIE.
LIE are more often focused on their thoughts and feelings where as ESI are more often focused on their surroundings.
ESI tend to be more active and initiating with others where as LIE tend to be more passive and less initiating.
LIE often have a smaller, closer network of friends where as ESI often have a wider network of friends.
ESI are often more cognizant of their outwards appearance and are thus better at presenting themselves than LIE.
LIE are generally better at concentrating on specific tasks for longer periods of time than ESI.
ESI often prefer to work with others in a team where as LIE often prefer working alone.
LIE pay more particular attention to aspects of a situation or plan that are insufficient or lacking. This can be interpreted by others as LIE having a negative assessment of various situations and events (.e.g, "the glass is half empty). On the other hand, ESI 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, ESI tend to focus more on how the choice could benefit them (what it would potentially yield) than LIE would. On the other hand, LIE would be more cognizant of the potential risks and potential losses that may accompany the decision that ESI may unconsciously minimize.
When conversing, ESI 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, LIE tend to prefer more of a question and answer style format.
