ESE-vs-IEE: (another tough one, especially in case of “ambisensuitive” people)
ESE is more likely to:
He rarely plays with paradoxes in his mind.
In conflicts, his aggressive reaction is quick and explosive.
He DOES NOT AGREE that his ethical assessment of a situation depends on many nuances and is therefore difficult to predict, and that sometimes he therefore even has to resort to the flip of a coin.
Is not characterized by concentrated absent-mindedness as distracted forgetfulness (arising because one's own fantasies are experienced as prioritized, super-valued).
Sensory caring order in the environment - the desire to care for oneself, things and surroundings, to create and maintain a permanent healthy order in the surrounding world of material objects.
Unambiguity is better than polysemousness (in words and statements, but only ones which he himself utters).
Lack of associative fluidity as rapidity and variety of associations with ease of switching.
Stubborn - as in, can maintain “burning” in himself on a single cause better than most others.
Concerned about the comfort and convenience of his workspace, dedicating a lot of time to it so that nothing later irritates him.
SEE-vs-ESI: (perhaps overly detailed)
Questions to which SEE's are more likely to answer "yes"
The sweetest thing in life is power over others.
Everything about me is “cool” and I myself am also the “coolest”.
I have a large, flexible and varied set of techniques to start talking with other people.
It’s easy for me to communicate with people - they almost always seem nice to me, and I don’t feel any fears or barriers.
Almost every day I feel a sense of pride in my successes, in my position and the authority I have gained.
More than others, I have the right, the strength, the dexterity, and the desire to enjoy all the material abundance of this world.
For a worthy reward, I could easily start propagandistic topics on the Internet based on lies and turning the truth inside out.
If it is safe, then I consider it at least possible to slander the person who is opposing or interfering with me in order to neutralize him.
My character is characterized by carelessness.
Sometimes I entertain myself with flattery addressed to someone - without any particular purpose, just to observe how the person’s mood changes for the better.
I am more of an optimist than a pessimist.
By nature, I am more of a spendthrift and a burner of material values than a hoarder.
Questions to which ESI's are more likely to answer "yes":
Key concepts for me: stability, a narrow circle of friends, decency, morality, honor, responsibility, constancy, condemnation, accuracy, suspicion, memory of harm caused, social justice.
I feel uncomfortable if I accidentally cause significant discomfort to someone (by being late, by speaking awkwardly, etc.)
I prefer to walk the same familiar paths, dress in familiar clothes, and generally prefer a measured, predictable everyday life.

I am scrupulous in matters of decency and unobtrusive, but will always come to the aid of those who need it.
I often perceive everything new as a source of threat.
All my life I have been strictly guided by a sense of duty and clear, constant principles.
I often worry about the immoral actions of my friends.
Unlike many, I don’t know how to give insincere compliments (this disgusts my whole being).
I am always ready to help discreetly and without self-promotion.
Frankly, I am secretive, stubborn and inflexible in relationships. I really don’t like uninvited guests and I don’t know how to keep them busy; I stubbornly maintain the system of relationships to which I am accustomed.
I try not to be in debt to anyone and therefore, as a matter of principle, I do not make purchases on credit and very rarely borrow from friends.
And "memory of harm caused" is more for "avoid this person and tell others to do it, too" rather than for "go on a roaring rampage of revenge".
