SLE are relatively better at assessing the emotional atmosphere occurring in a group or during an activity than LIE.
When meeting someone knew, SLE are not as likely as LIE to perceive "getting to know somebody" as a special kind of activity. SLE know very well whey they are getting acquainted (i.e., what the purpose of the relationship is, be it business, personal, travel, etc.). SLE, in contrast with LIE, do not divide the process of getting acquainted into consecutive stages; rather SLE 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 SLE 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 SLE and their relationship with the other person.
LIE are more likely to believe in objective truths than SLE. That is, LIE are more likely to believe there is a correct or best way of doing something than SLE.
SLE are more inclined to believe there are relative truths than LIE. That is, this relativity is perceived by SLE 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 SLE) 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 SLE 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, SLE 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 SLE. E.g., LIE see having fun occurring simultaneously with other activities, such as work or even serious affairs. SLE 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 SLE than LIE. This comparison not only concerns SLE methods, but also their understanding, terminology, etc. SLE 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," SLE 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 SLE. 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 SLE, 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 SLE) 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 SLE. LIE tend to be more linear in their relationship progression than SLE, and LIE assign importance to the formalities of recognizing the start and end to each of these stages.
When solving a problem, SLE rely more heavily on their generalized past experiences than LIE. SLE are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
When solving a problem, LIE are more inclined (than SLE) 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.
SLE pay more particular attention to aspects of a situation or plan that are insufficient or lacking. This can be interpreted by others as SLE 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 SLE would. On the other hand, SLE would be more cognizant of the potential risks and potential losses that may accompany the decision that LIE may unconsciously minimize.
LIE are more likely than SLE to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. LIE focus on individualism more than SLE.
LIE attitude towards a specific person (more so than SLE) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) LIE recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
SLE, more than LIE, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. SLE focus on collectivism over individualism.
When SLE form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To SLE, 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."
SLE are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than LIE. This is based on the ability of SLE 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 plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, SLE tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
SLE are relatively more flexible and tolerant than LIE.
LIE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than SLE.
SLE 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 SLE into finishing any new project they start.
SLE tend to start more tasks and other projects than LIE, but the SLE are less likely to complete all of them.
LIE tend to have stiffer more angular movements. SLE tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
SLE tend to have a more democratic leadership style than LIE.
LIE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than SLE.
SLE have a relatively higher stress tolerance than LIE. LIE often struggle with continually changing situations more than SLE do.
LIE tend to be more idealistic with their heads-in-the-cloud. SLE, on the other hand, are more realistic and down-to-earth.
SLE are better at noticing details than LIE. LIE on the other hand, are better at seeing the big picture than SLE.
LIE are more focused on ideas and concepts than SLE. On the other hand, SLE are more focused (than LIE) on their surroundings.
SLE are more naturally comfortable with physical confrontations than LIE.
LIE are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas SLE are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
LIE are more likely (than SLE) 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.
SLE 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. SLE 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.
