LIE are more likely than IEE to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. LIE focus on individualism more than IEE.
LIE attitude towards a specific person (more so than IEE) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) LIE recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
IEE, more than LIE, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. IEE focus on collectivism over individualism.
When IEE form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To IEE, 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."
IEE are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than LIE. This is based on the ability of IEE to draw conclusions about the person based on the groups the person belongs to; LIE are more reluctant to make these inferences.
LIE tend to plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, IEE tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
IEE are relatively more flexible and tolerant than LIE.
LIE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than IEE.
IEE are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. LIE, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
LIE tend to put more effort than IEE into finishing any new project they start.
IEE tend to start more tasks and other projects than LIE, but the IEE are less likely to complete all of them.
LIE tend to have stiffer more angular movements. IEE tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
IEE tend to have a more democratic leadership style than LIE.
LIE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than IEE.
IEE have a relatively higher stress tolerance than LIE. LIE often struggle with continually changing situations more than IEE do.
LIE are more likely to make decisions based on logical reasons than IEE, who are more likely to make decisions based on their own feelings.
IEE 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 IEE.
IEE 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.
IEE are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than LIE. However LIE in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than IEE.
LIE place greater value on their interests than IEE. 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.
IEE place greater value on their resources than LIE. For IEE, resources like their money, time, sleep, etc., fall into their "inner personal space," and the IEE 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, IEE 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.
IEE 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, IEE prefer to continue pursuing their current option, opting to adjust their ultimate goal in order to fit the current choice.
LIE are rmore relaxed in their natural state than IEE. However LIE will mobilize and concentrate when needed to accomplish an objective. After the task has been completed, LIE demobilize again. This state of demobilization is the natural state of LIE.
When contemplating a task, it takes LIE longer time to mobilize than IEE; i.e., LIE 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, LIE are more likely than IEE to break up larger tasks into several stages. Then LIE mobilize to carry out each stage (and demobilize between the stages).
When getting ready to start a project, LIE spend more time planning and preparing for the project than IEE. In particular, LIE spend more time discussing the plan, discussing options and ways to approach the project, etc.)
When describing their reasoning for their actions, LIE (more so than IEE) 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, IEE are more likely than LIE to mobilize for longer periods of time. Specifically, IEE tend to mobilize for an action early and stay mobilized for a longer period of time after the task has been completed. For IEE, this state of readiness is their natural state.
IEE are more likely than LIE to tackle a task in its entirety, rather than breaking it up into smaller separate stages.
When doing a task, IEE are inclined to work for the sake of the result (for example, a reward or bonus for completing the task). In contrast to LIE, IEE can renounce their comforts and conveniences for this; IEE 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, IEE are more likely than LIE to focus on the moment when a decision is made and to speak in detail about the stages of its implementation.
When discussing work, IEE are more likely than LIE to focus on the fruits of their labor, about what their effort will yield. LIE 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 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, IEE 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, IEE 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 IEE may unconsciously minimize.
