LIE are more likely than LSI to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. LIE focus on individualism more than LSI.
LIE attitude towards a specific person (more so than LSI) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) LIE recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
LSI, more than LIE, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. LSI focus on collectivism over individualism.
When LSI form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To LSI, 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."
LSI are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than LIE. This is based on the ability of LSI 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 be more idealistic with their heads-in-the-cloud. LSI, on the other hand, are more realistic and down-to-earth.
LSI are better at noticing details than LIE. LIE on the other hand, are better at seeing the big picture than LSI.
LIE are more focused on ideas and concepts than LSI. On the other hand, LSI are more focused (than LIE) on their surroundings.
LSI are more naturally comfortable with physical confrontations than LIE.
LIE are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas LSI are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
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, LSI 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.
LSI 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, LSI prefer to continue pursuing their current option, opting to adjust their ultimate goal in order to fit the current choice.
When developing a plan of action or process, LSI 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 LSI) 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 LSI because they are outside of the process.
LIE are relatively better at assessing the emotional atmosphere occurring in a group or during an activity than LSI.
When meeting someone knew, LIE are not as likely as LSI 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 LSI, 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.
LSI are more likely to believe in objective truths than LIE. That is, LSI 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 LSI. 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 LSI 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. LSI 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 LSI) 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.
LSI tend to internally combine emotional exchanges with other activities rather than separating them out like LIE. E.g., LSI 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 LSI. 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 LSI 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.
LSI are not as inclined to compare and verify concepts as LIE. LSI assume that these can have only one unique interpretation (the "correct" interpretation), and LSI often do not think about the fact that the other person may be interpreting them differently. Much more than LIE, LSI apply concepts such as "objective reality," "unequivocal facts," and de-emphasize concepts; LSI consider that they know the "right" way of doing things, how something "truly is," etc.
LSI 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 LSI be more externally predetermined. Additionally, LSI generally progress in relationships through stages, and therefore are more familiar with these stages than LIE. LSI tend to be more linear in their relationship progression than LIE, and LSI assign importance to the formalities of recognizing the start and end to each of these stages.
LSI' 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 LSI' energy levels increase when they're interacting with larger groups.
LSI' 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, LSI tend to have higher energy levels than LIE.
LIE are more often focused on their thoughts and feelings where as LSI are more often focused on their surroundings.
LSI 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 LSI often have a wider network of friends.
LSI 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 LSI.
LSI often prefer to work with others in a team where as LIE often prefer working alone.
