LIE tend to plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, ILI tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
ILI are relatively more flexible and tolerant than LIE.
LIE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than ILI.
ILI 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 ILI into finishing any new project they start.
ILI tend to start more tasks and other projects than LIE, but the ILI are less likely to complete all of them.
LIE tend to have stiffer more angular movements. ILI tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
ILI tend to have a more democratic leadership style than LIE.
LIE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than ILI.
ILI have a relatively higher stress tolerance than LIE. LIE often struggle with continually changing situations more than ILI do.
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, ILI 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.
ILI 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, ILI 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 ILI) 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.
ILI 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. ILI 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, ILI 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 ILI) 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 ILI because they are outside of the process.
LIE' psychic energy more often flows outwards, whereas with ILI, their psychic energy more often flows inward.
ILI' 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 ILI' 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 ILI.
ILI 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 ILI tend to be more passive and less initiating.
ILI 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 ILI.
ILI 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 ILI often prefer working alone.
When solving a problem, ILI rely more heavily on their generalized past experiences than LIE. ILI are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
When solving a problem, LIE are more inclined (than ILI) 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.
ILI pay more particular attention to aspects of a situation or plan that are insufficient or lacking. This can be interpreted by others as ILI 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 ILI would. On the other hand, ILI would be more cognizant of the potential risks and potential losses that may accompany the decision that LIE may unconsciously minimize.
