ESE' 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 ESE' energy levels increase when they're interacting with larger groups.
ESE' 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, ESE tend to have higher energy levels than SEI.
SEI are more often focused on their thoughts and feelings where as ESE are more often focused on their surroundings.
ESE 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 ESE often have a wider network of friends.
ESE 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 ESE.
ESE 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, ESE 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.
ESE 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, ESE prefer to continue pursuing their current option, opting to adjust their ultimate goal in order to fit the current choice.
SEI are more likely (than ESE) 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.
ESE are more likely than SEI 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. ESE 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.
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, ESE 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, ESE 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 ESE may unconsciously minimize.
SEI tend to plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, ESE tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
ESE are relatively more flexible and tolerant than SEI.
SEI are relatively more rigid and stubborn than ESE.
ESE are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. SEI, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
SEI tend to put more effort than ESE into finishing any new project they start.
ESE tend to start more tasks and other projects than SEI, but the ESE are less likely to complete all of them.
SEI tend to have stiffer more angular movements. ESE tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
ESE tend to have a more democratic leadership style than SEI.
SEI tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than ESE.
ESE have a relatively higher stress tolerance than SEI. SEI often struggle with continually changing situations more than ESE do.
When solving a problem, SEI rely more heavily on their generalized past experiences than ESE. SEI are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
When solving a problem, ESE are more inclined (than SEI) to solve it by relying predominantly on only the presently available information. Essentially, ESE will develop a process or method uniquely fitted towards the present problem, and this method is designed using the present conditions and information.
When developing a plan of action or process, ESE 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, SEI 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, SEI experience more discomfort (than ESE) if the project does not have a clearly delineated end-goal or result. This happens because SEI have more difficulty monitoring and understanding how the project is developing than ESE because they are outside of the process.
