Observable Differences in Behavior
1
ESI are more likely than IEE to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. ESI focus on individualism more than IEE.
2
ESI attitude towards a specific person (more so than IEE) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) ESI recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
3
IEE, more than ESI, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. IEE focus on collectivism over individualism.
4
When IEE form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To IEE, 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."
5
IEE are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than ESI. This is based on the ability of IEE to draw conclusions about the person based on the groups the person belongs to; ESI are more reluctant to make these inferences.
6
IEE' psychic energy more often flows outwards, whereas with ESI, their psychic energy more often flows inward.
7
ESI' energy levels tend to improve when they're alone whereas IEE' energy levels increase when they're interacting with larger groups.
8
IEE' energy levels tend to decrease when they're alone whereas ESI' energy levels will decrease when they're interacting with larger groups of people.
9
With regards to energy levels, IEE tend to have higher energy levels than ESI.
10
ESI are more often focused on their thoughts and feelings where as IEE are more often focused on their surroundings.
11
IEE tend to be more active and initiating with others where as ESI tend to be more passive and less initiating.
12
ESI often have a smaller, closer network of friends where as IEE often have a wider network of friends.
13
IEE are often more cognizant of their outwards appearance and are thus better at presenting themselves than ESI.
14
ESI are generally better at concentrating on specific tasks for longer periods of time than IEE.
15
IEE often prefer to work with others in a team where as ESI often prefer working alone.
16
ESI tend to plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, IEE tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
17
IEE are relatively more flexible and tolerant than ESI.
18
ESI are relatively more rigid and stubborn than IEE.
19
IEE are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. ESI, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
20
ESI tend to put more effort than IEE into finishing any new project they start.
21
IEE tend to start more tasks and other projects than ESI, but the IEE are less likely to complete all of them.
22
ESI tend to have stiffer more angular movements. IEE tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
23
IEE tend to have a more democratic leadership style than ESI.
24
ESI tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than IEE.
25
IEE have a relatively higher stress tolerance than ESI. ESI often struggle with continually changing situations more than IEE do.
26
When conversing, IEE 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, ESI tend to prefer more of a question and answer style format.
27
IEE are rmore relaxed in their natural state than ESI. However IEE will mobilize and concentrate when needed to accomplish an objective. After the task has been completed, IEE demobilize again. This state of demobilization is the natural state of IEE.
28
When contemplating a task, it takes IEE longer time to mobilize than ESI; i.e., IEE 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.
29
When working on a project, IEE are more likely than ESI to break up larger tasks into several stages. Then IEE mobilize to carry out each stage (and demobilize between the stages).
30
When getting ready to start a project, IEE spend more time planning and preparing for the project than ESI. In particular, IEE spend more time discussing the plan, discussing options and ways to approach the project, etc.)
31
When describing their reasoning for their actions, IEE (more so than ESI) tend describe how and why they came to a certain decision, and focus less on the timing and initiation of the action.
32
When it comes to completing a task, ESI are more likely than IEE to mobilize for longer periods of time. Specifically, ESI tend to mobilize for an action early and stay mobilized for a longer period of time after the task has been completed. For ESI, this state of readiness is their natural state.
33
ESI are more likely than IEE to tackle a task in its entirety, rather than breaking it up into smaller separate stages.
34
When doing a task, ESI are inclined to work for the sake of the result (for example, a reward or bonus for completing the task). In contrast to IEE, ESI can renounce their comforts and conveniences for this; ESI evaluate their place of work by looking at what returns they get for the effort they invested (e.g., monetary, prestige, etc.).
35
When describing why they undertook a project, ESI are more likely than IEE to focus on the moment when a decision is made and to speak in detail about the stages of its implementation.
36
When discussing work, ESI are more likely than IEE to focus on the fruits of their labor, about what their effort will yield. IEE on the other hand are more likely to focus on the environment they work in, e.g., their work conditions, conveniences, commute time, etc.
37
IEE tend to be more idealistic with their heads-in-the-cloud. ESI, on the other hand, are more realistic and down-to-earth.
38
ESI are better at noticing details than IEE. IEE on the other hand, are better at seeing the big picture than ESI.
39
IEE are more focused on ideas and concepts than ESI. On the other hand, ESI are more focused (than IEE) on their surroundings.
40
ESI are more naturally comfortable with physical confrontations than IEE.
41
IEE are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas ESI are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
42
IEE are more likely (than ESI) 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.
43
ESI are more likely than IEE 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. ESI 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.
