LIE are more likely than IEI to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. LIE focus on individualism more than IEI.
LIE attitude towards a specific person (more so than IEI) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) LIE recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
IEI, more than LIE, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. IEI focus on collectivism over individualism.
When IEI form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To IEI, 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."
IEI are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than LIE. This is based on the ability of IEI 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, IEI tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
IEI are relatively more flexible and tolerant than LIE.
LIE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than IEI.
IEI 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 IEI into finishing any new project they start.
IEI tend to start more tasks and other projects than LIE, but the IEI are less likely to complete all of them.
LIE tend to have stiffer more angular movements. IEI tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
IEI tend to have a more democratic leadership style than LIE.
LIE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than IEI.
IEI have a relatively higher stress tolerance than LIE. LIE often struggle with continually changing situations more than IEI do.
LIE are more likely to make decisions based on logical reasons than IEI, who are more likely to make decisions based on their own feelings.
IEI 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 IEI.
IEI 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.
IEI are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than LIE. However LIE in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than IEI.
LIE place greater value on their interests than IEI. 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.
IEI place greater value on their resources than LIE. For IEI, resources like their money, time, sleep, etc., fall into their "inner personal space," and the IEI 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, IEI 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.
IEI 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, IEI prefer to continue pursuing their current option, opting to adjust their ultimate goal in order to fit the current choice.
LIE are relatively better at assessing the emotional atmosphere occurring in a group or during an activity than IEI.
When meeting someone knew, LIE are not as likely as IEI to perceive "getting to know somebody" as a special kind of activity. LIE know very well whey they are getting acquainted (i.e., what the purpose of the relationship is, be it business, personal, travel, etc.). LIE, in contrast with IEI, do not divide the process of getting acquainted into consecutive stages; rather LIE 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 LIE 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 LIE and their relationship with the other person.
IEI are more likely to believe in objective truths than LIE. That is, IEI are more likely to believe there is a correct or best way of doing something than LIE.
LIE are more inclined to believe there are relative truths than IEI. That is, this relativity is perceived by LIE as an extenuation of the differing beliefs, opinions, intentions, etc. of each person.
When something is perceived by IEI as being incorrect, they are more likely (than LIE) to tell the person who made the error what they did wrong and how to do it the right way. IEI are focused on who made the error and helping them to correct the mistake.
When something is perceived by LIE as being incorrect, they are more likely (than IEI) to ask why it was done that way. Instead of necessarily trying to correct the person who made the error, LIE attempt to understand the person's reason for their decision/action.
IEI tend to internally combine emotional exchanges with other activities rather than separating them out like LIE. E.g., IEI see having fun occurring simultaneously with other activities, such as work or even serious affairs. LIE 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 LIE than IEI. This comparison not only concerns LIE methods, but also their understanding, terminology, etc. LIE 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 IEI who perceive terminology as "objective," LIE understand personal differences behind terminology (this applies even to well established terms) and they attempt to compare and verify them.
IEI are not as inclined to compare and verify concepts as LIE. IEI assume that these can have only one unique interpretation (the "correct" interpretation), and IEI often do not think about the fact that the other person may be interpreting them differently. Much more than LIE, IEI apply concepts such as "objective reality," "unequivocal facts," and de-emphasize concepts; IEI consider that they know the "right" way of doing things, how something "truly is," etc.
IEI are more likely (than LIE) 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 IEI be more externally predetermined. Additionally, IEI generally progress in relationships through stages, and therefore are more familiar with these stages than LIE. IEI tend to be more linear in their relationship progression than LIE, and IEI assign importance to the formalities of recognizing the start and end to each of these stages.
IEI' 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 IEI' energy levels increase when they're interacting with larger groups.
IEI' 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, IEI tend to have higher energy levels than LIE.
LIE are more often focused on their thoughts and feelings where as IEI are more often focused on their surroundings.
IEI 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 IEI often have a wider network of friends.
IEI 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 IEI.
IEI often prefer to work with others in a team where as LIE often prefer working alone.
When solving a problem, LIE rely more heavily on their generalized past experiences than IEI. LIE are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
When solving a problem, IEI are more inclined (than LIE) to solve it by relying predominantly on only the presently available information. Essentially, IEI will develop a process or method uniquely fitted towards the present problem, and this method is designed using the present conditions and information.
When conversing, IEI 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.
