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