Observable Differences in Behavior
1
LII are relatively better at assessing the emotional atmosphere occurring in a group or during an activity than SLI.
2
When meeting someone knew, LII are not as likely as SLI to perceive "getting to know somebody" as a special kind of activity. LII know very well whey they are getting acquainted (i.e., what the purpose of the relationship is, be it business, personal, travel, etc.). LII, in contrast with SLI, do not divide the process of getting acquainted into consecutive stages; rather LII 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 LII 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 LII and their relationship with the other person.
3
SLI are more likely to believe in objective truths than LII. That is, SLI are more likely to believe there is a correct or best way of doing something than LII.
4
LII are more inclined to believe there are relative truths than SLI. That is, this relativity is perceived by LII as an extenuation of the differing beliefs, opinions, intentions, etc. of each person.
5
When something is perceived by SLI as being incorrect, they are more likely (than LII) to tell the person who made the error what they did wrong and how to do it the right way. SLI are focused on who made the error and helping them to correct the mistake.
6
When something is perceived by LII as being incorrect, they are more likely (than SLI) to ask why it was done that way. Instead of necessarily trying to correct the person who made the error, LII attempt to understand the person's reason for their decision/action.
7
SLI tend to internally combine emotional exchanges with other activities rather than separating them out like LII. E.g., SLI see having fun occurring simultaneously with other activities, such as work or even serious affairs. LII 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 LII than SLI. This comparison not only concerns LII methods, but also their understanding, terminology, etc. LII 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 SLI who perceive terminology as "objective," LII understand personal differences behind terminology (this applies even to well established terms) and they attempt to compare and verify them.
9
SLI are not as inclined to compare and verify concepts as LII. SLI assume that these can have only one unique interpretation (the "correct" interpretation), and SLI often do not think about the fact that the other person may be interpreting them differently. Much more than LII, SLI apply concepts such as "objective reality," "unequivocal facts," and de-emphasize concepts; SLI consider that they know the "right" way of doing things, how something "truly is," etc.
10
SLI are more likely (than LII) 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 SLI be more externally predetermined. Additionally, SLI generally progress in relationships through stages, and therefore are more familiar with these stages than LII. SLI tend to be more linear in their relationship progression than LII, and SLI assign importance to the formalities of recognizing the start and end to each of these stages.
11
LII are more likely than SLI to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. LII focus on individualism more than SLI.
12
LII attitude towards a specific person (more so than SLI) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) LII recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
13
SLI, more than LII, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. SLI focus on collectivism over individualism.
14
When SLI form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To SLI, 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
SLI are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than LII. This is based on the ability of SLI to draw conclusions about the person based on the groups the person belongs to; LII are more reluctant to make these inferences.
16
LII tend to plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, SLI tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
17
SLI are relatively more flexible and tolerant than LII.
18
LII are relatively more rigid and stubborn than SLI.
19
SLI are comfortable making changes and adjustments to their decisions quite frequently. LII, on the other hand, prefer to not make changes to their decisions.
20
LII tend to put more effort than SLI into finishing any new project they start.
21
SLI tend to start more tasks and other projects than LII, but the SLI are less likely to complete all of them.
22
LII tend to have stiffer more angular movements. SLI tend to have more relaxed fluid movements.
23
SLI tend to have a more democratic leadership style than LII.
24
LII tend to have a more authoritarian, hierarchical leadership style than SLI.
25
SLI have a relatively higher stress tolerance than LII. LII often struggle with continually changing situations more than SLI do.
26
LII tend to be more idealistic with their heads-in-the-cloud. SLI, on the other hand, are more realistic and down-to-earth.
27
SLI are better at noticing details than LII. LII on the other hand, are better at seeing the big picture than SLI.
28
LII are more focused on ideas and concepts than SLI. On the other hand, SLI are more focused (than LII) on their surroundings.
29
SLI are more naturally comfortable with physical confrontations than LII.
30
LII are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas SLI are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
31
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, SLI tend to perceive events in a continuous sequence; i.e., they see events evolving fluidly rather that one state to the next.
32
When describing the stages of an event, SLI 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 SLI do.
33
When describing reality, LII are more likely to talk about the properties and structure of reality. SLI are more likely to describe reality as movements, interactions, and changes.
34
When solving a problem, LII rely more heavily on their generalized past experiences than SLI. LII are inclined to use already prepared, preformulated methods and processes to solve a problem.
35
When solving a problem, SLI are more inclined (than LII) to solve it by relying predominantly on only the presently available information. Essentially, SLI will develop a process or method uniquely fitted towards the present problem, and this method is designed using the present conditions and information.
36
LII are more likely (than SLI) 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.
37
SLI are more likely than LII 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. SLI 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.
38
LII pay more particular attention to aspects of a situation or plan that are insufficient or lacking. This can be interpreted by others as LII having a negative assessment of various situations and events (.e.g, "the glass is half empty). On the other hand, SLI 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").
39
When assessing an option or available choice, SLI tend to focus more on how the choice could benefit them (what it would potentially yield) than LII would. On the other hand, LII would be more cognizant of the potential risks and potential losses that may accompany the decision that SLI may unconsciously minimize.
