Observable Differences in Behavior
1
EIE are relatively better at assessing the emotional atmosphere occurring in a group or during an activity than ILI.
2
When meeting someone knew, EIE are not as likely as ILI to perceive "getting to know somebody" as a special kind of activity. EIE know very well whey they are getting acquainted (i.e., what the purpose of the relationship is, be it business, personal, travel, etc.). EIE, in contrast with ILI, do not divide the process of getting acquainted into consecutive stages; rather EIE 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 EIE 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 EIE and their relationship with the other person.
3
ILI are more likely to believe in objective truths than EIE. That is, ILI are more likely to believe there is a correct or best way of doing something than EIE.
4
EIE are more inclined to believe there are relative truths than ILI. That is, this relativity is perceived by EIE as an extenuation of the differing beliefs, opinions, intentions, etc. of each person.
5
When something is perceived by ILI as being incorrect, they are more likely (than EIE) to tell the person who made the error what they did wrong and how to do it the right way. ILI are focused on who made the error and helping them to correct the mistake.
6
When something is perceived by EIE as being incorrect, they are more likely (than ILI) to ask why it was done that way. Instead of necessarily trying to correct the person who made the error, EIE attempt to understand the person's reason for their decision/action.
7
ILI tend to internally combine emotional exchanges with other activities rather than separating them out like EIE. E.g., ILI see having fun occurring simultaneously with other activities, such as work or even serious affairs. EIE are more likely to internally separate out having fun with other activities, although the two can be interchanged at a high frequency.
8
The "comparison and verification of concepts" is a more common phenomenon among EIE than ILI. This comparison not only concerns EIE methods, but also their understanding, terminology, etc. EIE 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 ILI who perceive terminology as "objective," EIE understand personal differences behind terminology (this applies even to well established terms) and they attempt to compare and verify them.
9
ILI are not as inclined to compare and verify concepts as EIE. ILI assume that these can have only one unique interpretation (the "correct" interpretation), and ILI often do not think about the fact that the other person may be interpreting them differently. Much more than EIE, ILI apply concepts such as "objective reality," "unequivocal facts," and de-emphasize concepts; ILI consider that they know the "right" way of doing things, how something "truly is," etc.
10
ILI are more likely (than EIE) 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 ILI be more externally predetermined. Additionally, ILI generally progress in relationships through stages, and therefore are more familiar with these stages than EIE. ILI tend to be more linear in their relationship progression than EIE, and ILI assign importance to the formalities of recognizing the start and end to each of these stages.
11
EIE tend to plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, ILI tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
12
ILI are relatively more flexible and tolerant than EIE.
13
EIE are relatively more rigid and stubborn than ILI.
14
ILI are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. EIE, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
15
EIE tend to put more effort than ILI into finishing any new project they start.
16
ILI tend to start more tasks and other projects than EIE, but the ILI are less likely to complete all of them.
17
EIE tend to have stiffer more angular movements. ILI tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
18
ILI tend to have a more democratic leadership style than EIE.
19
EIE tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than ILI.
20
ILI have a relatively higher stress tolerance than EIE. EIE often struggle with continually changing situations more than ILI do.
21
When planning to complete something, EIE 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, ILI 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.
22
ILI are able to change and make adjustments to their goals more easily than EIE (depending on how progress is being made, etc.). EIE on the other hand, prefer to stick with their original goals.
23
EIE tend to judge their available options by how likely the option will help them reach their goal. If a choice no longer helps EIE reach their goals, it will be dismissed and discontinued. On the other hand, ILI prefer to continue pursuing their current option, opting to adjust their ultimate goal in order to fit the current choice.
24
When conversing, ILI 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, EIE tend to prefer more of a question and answer style format.
25
ILI are more likely than EIE to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. ILI focus on individualism more than EIE.
26
ILI attitude towards a specific person (more so than EIE) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) ILI recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
27
EIE, more than ILI, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. EIE focus on collectivism over individualism.
28
When EIE form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To EIE, 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."
29
EIE are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than ILI. This is based on the ability of EIE to draw conclusions about the person based on the groups the person belongs to; ILI are more reluctant to make these inferences.
30
EIE' psychic energy more often flows outwards, whereas with ILI, their psychic energy more often flows inward.
31
ILI' energy levels tend to improve when they're alone whereas EIE' energy levels increase when they're interacting with larger groups.
32
EIE' energy levels tend to decrease when they're alone whereas ILI' energy levels will decrease when they're interacting with larger groups of people.
33
With regards to energy levels, EIE tend to have higher energy levels than ILI.
34
ILI are more often focused on their thoughts and feelings where as EIE are more often focused on their surroundings.
35
EIE tend to be more active and initiating with others where as ILI tend to be more passive and less initiating.
36
ILI often have a smaller, closer network of friends where as EIE often have a wider network of friends.
37
EIE are often more cognizant of their outwards appearance and are thus better at presenting themselves than ILI.
38
ILI are generally better at concentrating on specific tasks for longer periods of time than EIE.
39
EIE often prefer to work with others in a team where as ILI often prefer working alone.
40
ILI are more likely to make decisions based on logical reasons than EIE, who are more likely to make decisions based on their own feelings.
41
EIE are often better at solving and minimizing interpersonal problems, where as ILI often struggle understanding them.
42
ILI are often more interested in studying systems, structures, and functionality than EIE.
43
EIE tend to prefer using persuasion as a means of convincing others to do something, where as ILI prefer to use argumentation as a means of convincing others.
44
EIE are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than ILI. However ILI in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than EIE.
45
ILI place greater value on their interests than EIE. For example, ILI will maintain high levels of energy and focus on an interest they value, even deprioritizing their other resources to maintain the interest. For example, ILI may spend a large amount of energy on an interest they value, often to the detriment of their time, sleep, relationships, money, etc.
46
EIE place greater value on their resources than ILI. For EIE, resources like their money, time, sleep, etc., fall into their "inner personal space," and the EIE will be more likely to deprioritize an interest if it starts to drain these resources too much.
47
When solving a problem, ILI rely more heavily on their generalized past experiences than EIE. ILI are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
48
When solving a problem, EIE are more inclined (than ILI) to solve it by relying predominantly on only the presently available information. Essentially, EIE will develop a process or method uniquely fitted towards the present problem, and this method is designed using the present conditions and information.
