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