LSE 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 LSE.
LSE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than SEI.
SEI are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. LSE, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
LSE tend to put more effort than SEI into finishing any new project they start.
SEI tend to start more tasks and other projects than LSE, but the SEI are less likely to complete all of them.
LSE 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 LSE.
LSE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than SEI.
SEI have a relatively higher stress tolerance than LSE. LSE often struggle with continually changing situations more than SEI do.
LSE 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 LSE often struggle understanding them.
LSE 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 LSE prefer to use argumentation as a means of convincing others.
SEI are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than LSE. However LSE in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than SEI.
LSE place greater value on their interests than SEI. For example, LSE will maintain high levels of energy and focus on an interest they value, even deprioritizing their other resources to maintain the interest. For example, LSE 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 LSE. 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 solving a problem, LSE rely more heavily on their generalized past experiences than SEI. LSE are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
When solving a problem, SEI are more inclined (than LSE) to solve it by relying predominantly on only the presently available information. Essentially, SEI 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, SEI 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, LSE tend to prefer more of a question and answer style format.
SEI are relatively better at assessing the emotional atmosphere occurring in a group or during an activity than LSE.
When meeting someone knew, SEI are not as likely as LSE 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 LSE, 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.
LSE are more likely to believe in objective truths than SEI. That is, LSE 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 LSE. 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 LSE 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. LSE 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 LSE) 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.
LSE tend to internally combine emotional exchanges with other activities rather than separating them out like SEI. E.g., LSE 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 LSE. 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 LSE 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.
LSE are not as inclined to compare and verify concepts as SEI. LSE assume that these can have only one unique interpretation (the "correct" interpretation), and LSE often do not think about the fact that the other person may be interpreting them differently. Much more than SEI, LSE apply concepts such as "objective reality," "unequivocal facts," and de-emphasize concepts; LSE consider that they know the "right" way of doing things, how something "truly is," etc.
LSE 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 LSE be more externally predetermined. Additionally, LSE generally progress in relationships through stages, and therefore are more familiar with these stages than SEI. LSE tend to be more linear in their relationship progression than SEI, and LSE assign importance to the formalities of recognizing the start and end to each of these stages.
SEI are more likely than LSE to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. SEI focus on individualism more than LSE.
SEI attitude towards a specific person (more so than LSE) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) SEI recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
LSE, more than SEI, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. LSE focus on collectivism over individualism.
When LSE form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To LSE, 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."
LSE are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than SEI. This is based on the ability of LSE to draw conclusions about the person based on the groups the person belongs to; SEI are more reluctant to make these inferences.
LSE' 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 LSE' energy levels increase when they're interacting with larger groups.
LSE' 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, LSE tend to have higher energy levels than SEI.
SEI are more often focused on their thoughts and feelings where as LSE are more often focused on their surroundings.
LSE 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 LSE often have a wider network of friends.
LSE 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 LSE.
LSE often prefer to work with others in a team where as SEI often prefer working alone.
When planning to complete something, SEI 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, LSE 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.
LSE are able to change and make adjustments to their goals more easily than SEI (depending on how progress is being made, etc.). SEI on the other hand, prefer to stick with their original goals.
SEI tend to judge their available options by how likely the option will help them reach their goal. If a choice no longer helps SEI reach their goals, it will be dismissed and discontinued. On the other hand, LSE prefer to continue pursuing their current option, opting to adjust their ultimate goal in order to fit the current choice.
