Observable Differences in Behavior
1
SEE are more likely than EII to perceive and distinguish themselves primarily through personal qualities. SEE focus on individualism more than EII.
2
SEE attitude towards a specific person (more so than EII) is based on their personal characteristics (authority, intellect, personal achievements, etc.) SEE recognize superiority of certain individuals drawing from their personal qualities
3
EII, more than SEE, frequently perceives and defines themselves and other people through group associations. EII focus on collectivism over individualism.
4
When EII form opinions of others, these opinions are formed under the influence of their attitude towards the group to which the person belongs. To EII, 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
EII are often able to form quicker opinions of others they have just met than SEE. This is based on the ability of EII to draw conclusions about the person based on the groups the person belongs to; SEE are more reluctant to make these inferences.
6
SEE are more likely (than EII) 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.
7
EII are more likely than SEE 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. EII 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.
8
When conversing, EII 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, SEE tend to prefer more of a question and answer style format.
9
EII are rmore relaxed in their natural state than SEE. However EII will mobilize and concentrate when needed to accomplish an objective. After the task has been completed, EII demobilize again. This state of demobilization is the natural state of EII.
10
When contemplating a task, it takes EII longer time to mobilize than SEE; i.e., EII 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.
11
When working on a project, EII are more likely than SEE to break up larger tasks into several stages. Then EII mobilize to carry out each stage (and demobilize between the stages).
12
When getting ready to start a project, EII spend more time planning and preparing for the project than SEE. In particular, EII spend more time discussing the plan, discussing options and ways to approach the project, etc.)
13
When describing their reasoning for their actions, EII (more so than SEE) tend describe how and why they came to a certain decision, and focus less on the timing and initiation of the action.
14
When it comes to completing a task, SEE are more likely than EII to mobilize for longer periods of time. Specifically, SEE tend to mobilize for an action early and stay mobilized for a longer period of time after the task has been completed. For SEE, this state of readiness is their natural state.
15
SEE are more likely than EII to tackle a task in its entirety, rather than breaking it up into smaller separate stages.
16
When doing a task, SEE are inclined to work for the sake of the result (for example, a reward or bonus for completing the task). In contrast to EII, SEE can renounce their comforts and conveniences for this; SEE evaluate their place of work by looking at what returns they get for the effort they invested (e.g., monetary, prestige, etc.).
17
When describing why they undertook a project, SEE are more likely than EII to focus on the moment when a decision is made and to speak in detail about the stages of its implementation.
18
When discussing work, SEE are more likely than EII to focus on the fruits of their labor, about what their effort will yield. EII on the other hand are more likely to focus on the environment they work in, e.g., their work conditions, conveniences, commute time, etc.
19
SEE' psychic energy more often flows outwards, whereas with EII, their psychic energy more often flows inward.
20
EII' energy levels tend to improve when they're alone whereas SEE' energy levels increase when they're interacting with larger groups.
21
SEE' energy levels tend to decrease when they're alone whereas EII' energy levels will decrease when they're interacting with larger groups of people.
22
With regards to energy levels, SEE tend to have higher energy levels than EII.
23
EII are more often focused on their thoughts and feelings where as SEE are more often focused on their surroundings.
24
SEE tend to be more active and initiating with others where as EII tend to be more passive and less initiating.
25
EII often have a smaller, closer network of friends where as SEE often have a wider network of friends.
26
SEE are often more cognizant of their outwards appearance and are thus better at presenting themselves than EII.
27
EII are generally better at concentrating on specific tasks for longer periods of time than SEE.
28
SEE often prefer to work with others in a team where as EII often prefer working alone.
29
EII tend to plan ahead, making decisions early. On the other hand, SEE tend to prefer a wait and see, more spontaneous approach.
30
SEE are relatively more flexible and tolerant than EII.
31
EII are relatively more rigid and stubborn than SEE.
32

43
EII are often more interested in the idea or theory of something, whereas SEE are more interested in the actual practice or implementation of it.
