LIE tend to plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, SEI tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
SEI are relatively more flexible and tolerant than LIE.
LIE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than SEI.
SEI 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 SEI into finishing any new project they start.
SEI tend to start more tasks and other projects than LIE, but the SEI are less likely to complete all of them.
LIE tend to have stiffer more angular movements. SEI tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
SEI tend to have a more democratic leadership style than LIE.
LIE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than SEI.
SEI have a relatively higher stress tolerance than LIE. LIE often struggle with continually changing situations more than SEI do.
LIE tend to be more idealistic with their heads-in-the-cloud. SEI, on the other hand, are more realistic and down-to-earth.
SEI are better at noticing details than LIE. LIE on the other hand, are better at seeing the big picture than SEI.
LIE are more focused on ideas and concepts than SEI. On the other hand, SEI are more focused (than LIE) on their surroundings.
SEI are more naturally comfortable with physical confrontations than LIE.
LIE are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas SEI are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
LIE are more likely to make decisions based on logical reasons than SEI, who are more likely to make decisions based on their own feelings.
SEI 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 SEI.
SEI 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.
SEI are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than LIE. However LIE in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than SEI.
LIE place greater value on their interests than SEI. 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.
SEI place greater value on their resources than LIE. For SEI, resources like their money, time, sleep, etc., fall into their "inner personal space," and the SEI will be more likely to deprioritize an interest if it starts to drain these resources too much.
When developing a plan of action or process, SEI 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 SEI) 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 SEI because they are outside of the process.
SEI are relatively better at assessing the emotional atmosphere occurring in a group or during an activity than LIE.
When meeting someone knew, SEI are not as likely as LIE to perceive "getting to know somebody" as a special kind of activity. SEI know very well whey they are getting acquainted (i.e., what the purpose of the relationship is, be it business, personal, travel, etc.). SEI, in contrast with LIE, do not divide the process of getting acquainted into consecutive stages; rather SEI 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 SEI 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 SEI and their relationship with the other person.
LIE are more likely to believe in objective truths than SEI. That is, LIE are more likely to believe there is a correct or best way of doing something than SEI.
SEI are more inclined to believe there are relative truths than LIE. That is, this relativity is perceived by SEI as an extenuation of the differing beliefs, opinions, intentions, etc. of each person.
When something is perceived by LIE as being incorrect, they are more likely (than SEI) to tell the person who made the error what they did wrong and how to do it the right way. LIE are focused on who made the error and helping them to correct the mistake.
When something is perceived by SEI as being incorrect, they are more likely (than LIE) to ask why it was done that way. Instead of necessarily trying to correct the person who made the error, SEI attempt to understand the person's reason for their decision/action.
LIE tend to internally combine emotional exchanges with other activities rather than separating them out like SEI. E.g., LIE see having fun occurring simultaneously with other activities, such as work or even serious affairs. SEI 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 SEI than LIE. This comparison not only concerns SEI methods, but also their understanding, terminology, etc. SEI 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 LIE who perceive terminology as "objective," SEI understand personal differences behind terminology (this applies even to well established terms) and they attempt to compare and verify them.
LIE are not as inclined to compare and verify concepts as SEI. LIE assume that these can have only one unique interpretation (the "correct" interpretation), and LIE often do not think about the fact that the other person may be interpreting them differently. Much more than SEI, LIE apply concepts such as "objective reality," "unequivocal facts," and de-emphasize concepts; LIE consider that they know the "right" way of doing things, how something "truly is," etc.
LIE are more likely (than SEI) 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 LIE be more externally predetermined. Additionally, LIE generally progress in relationships through stages, and therefore are more familiar with these stages than SEI. LIE tend to be more linear in their relationship progression than SEI, and LIE assign importance to the formalities of recognizing the start and end to each of these stages.
SEI are rmore relaxed in their natural state than LIE. However SEI will mobilize and concentrate when needed to accomplish an objective. After the task has been completed, SEI demobilize again. This state of demobilization is the natural state of SEI.
When contemplating a task, it takes SEI longer time to mobilize than LIE; i.e., SEI 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, SEI are more likely than LIE to break up larger tasks into several stages. Then SEI mobilize to carry out each stage (and demobilize between the stages).
When getting ready to start a project, SEI spend more time planning and preparing for the project than LIE. In particular, SEI spend more time discussing the plan, discussing options and ways to approach the project, etc.)
When describing their reasoning for their actions, SEI (more so than LIE) 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, LIE are more likely than SEI to mobilize for longer periods of time. Specifically, LIE tend to mobilize for an action early and stay mobilized for a longer period of time after the task has been completed. For LIE, this state of readiness is their natural state.
LIE are more likely than SEI to tackle a task in its entirety, rather than breaking it up into smaller separate stages.
When doing a task, LIE are inclined to work for the sake of the result (for example, a reward or bonus for completing the task). In contrast to SEI, LIE can renounce their comforts and conveniences for this; LIE 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, LIE are more likely than SEI to focus on the moment when a decision is made and to speak in detail about the stages of its implementation.
When discussing work, LIE are more likely than SEI to focus on the fruits of their labor, about what their effort will yield. SEI 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' psychic energy more often flows outwards, whereas with SEI, their psychic energy more often flows inward.
SEI' 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 SEI' 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 SEI.
SEI 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 SEI tend to be more passive and less initiating.
SEI 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 SEI.
SEI 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 SEI often prefer working alone.
SEI pay more particular attention to aspects of a situation or plan that are insufficient or lacking. This can be interpreted by others as SEI 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 SEI would. On the other hand, SEI would be more cognizant of the potential risks and potential losses that may accompany the decision that LIE may unconsciously minimize.
