Observable Differences in Behavior
1
LII tend to plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, SEI tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
2
SEI are relatively more flexible and tolerant than LII.
3
LII are relatively more rigid and stubborn than SEI.
4
SEI are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. LII, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
5
LII tend to put more effort than SEI into finishing any new project they start.
6
SEI tend to start more tasks and other projects than LII, but the SEI are less likely to complete all of them.
7
LII tend to have stiffer more angular movements. SEI tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
8
SEI tend to have a more democratic leadership style than LII.
9
LII tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than SEI.
10
SEI have a relatively higher stress tolerance than LII. LII often struggle with continually changing situations more than SEI do.
11
LII tend to be more idealistic with their heads-in-the-cloud. SEI, on the other hand, are more realistic and down-to-earth.
12
SEI are better at noticing details than LII. LII on the other hand, are better at seeing the big picture than SEI.
13
LII are more focused on ideas and concepts than SEI. On the other hand, SEI are more focused (than LII) on their surroundings.
14
SEI are more naturally comfortable with physical confrontations than LII.
15
LII are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas SEI are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
16
LII are more likely to make decisions based on logical reasons than SEI, who are more likely to make decisions based on their own feelings.
17
SEI are often better at solving and minimizing interpersonal problems, where as LII often struggle understanding them.
18
LII are often more interested in studying systems, structures, and functionality than SEI.
19
SEI tend to prefer using persuasion as a means of convincing others to do something, where as LII prefer to use argumentation as a means of convincing others.
20
SEI are more vulnerable to logical manipulation than LII. However LII in contrast, are often more vulnerable to emotional or ethical manipulations than SEI.
21
LII place greater value on their interests than SEI. For example, LII will maintain high levels of energy and focus on an interest they value, even deprioritizing their other resources to maintain the interest. For example, LII may spend a large amount of energy on an interest they value, often to the detriment of their time, sleep, relationships, money, etc.
22
SEI place greater value on their resources than LII. For SEI, resources like their money, time, sleep, etc., fall into their "inner personal space," and the SEI will be more likely to deprioritize an interest if it starts to drain these resources too much.
23
LII tend to perceive events in an episodic manner, i.e., they see events evolve in discrete states rather than continuous changes. On the other hand, SEI tend to perceive events in a continuous sequence; i.e., they see events evolving fluidly rather that one state to the next.
24
When describing the stages of an event, SEI are more likely to focus on how stage A leads to stage B, how stage B leads to stage C, etc. LII, on the other hand, focus more on the stages themselves without necessarily seeing or emphasizing the transitions or causes and effects of the stages to the extent that SEI do.
25
When describing reality, LII are more likely to talk about the properties and structure of reality. SEI are more likely to describe reality as movements, interactions, and changes.
26
When solving a problem, LII rely more heavily on their generalized past experiences than SEI. LII are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
27
When solving a problem, SEI are more inclined (than LII) to solve it by relying predominantly on only the presently available information. Essentially, SEI will develop a process or method uniquely fitted towards the present problem, and this method is designed using the present conditions and information.
28
When developing a plan of action or process, SEI 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, LII tend to place themselves "outside of the process"; they dissociate from it. For them the process or situation is something external from themselves.
29
When working on a project, LII experience more discomfort (than SEI) if the project does not have a clearly delineated end-goal or result. This happens because LII have more difficulty monitoring and understanding how the project is developing than SEI because they are outside of the process.
30
When conversing, SEI 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, LII tend to prefer more of a question and answer style format.
