Introverted Logic (Ti):
​
LIIs excel at organizing their thoughts into structured frameworks. They often categorize their ideas by creating categories, diagrams, and formulaic descriptions. With a unique ability to grasp and analyze the intricate workings of abstract systems—such as computers, natural phenomena, gadgets, and mathematical concepts—they demonstrate a high level of precision in their understanding. LIIs are skilled at synthesizing new information and integrating it into their existing knowledge, often gravitating towards fields like mathematics, physics, and chemistry that involve complex information systems.​ LIIs are typically very aware of the importance of logical consistency and following established principles. They often rely on these guiding principles to form normative or philosophical judgments and frequently aim to share these concepts with others. However, the LII thought process can be challenging for others to grasp, as they often skip over the intermediate steps in their reasoning, focusing solely on the conclusion. Generally, LIIs are seen as highly rational individuals who take pride in this trait, often leading structured and proactive lives.

​
Extroverted Intuition (Ne):
​
LIIs are highly attuned to new connections and the potential applications of their systems and analyses. They can envision a wide range of concepts and aim to explore different, uncharted fields that their logical analysis has yet to address. Rather than fixating on a single area for too long, they prefer to broaden their theories over time, believing that limiting their logical scope would impede genuine understanding. Their main goal in developing new ideas is to categorize, systematize, and enhance comprehension of these concepts, often finding novel ideas lacking broader relevance to be uninteresting and trivial. LIIs often show little interest in applying their ideas to real-world situations, instead favoring abstract and theoretical discussions. They tend to gravitate towards contemplative academic fields that enable them to transform abstract speculation into tangible conclusions. Additionally, LIIs are generally accepting of unconventional lifestyles and diverse perspectives.​

Introverted Ethics (Fi):
​
LIIs often place less emphasis on the ethical standards of their experiences. They may adopt a more Ti-focused perspective on traditional morality, viewing it as their responsibility to adhere to general propriety and etiquette while striving to be just and maintain their integrity. However, their efforts to be proper, good, and ethical can come across as rigid or forced. Additionally, LIIs typically refrain from making moral judgments about others and prefer not to be judged themselves. Still, they do aim to be fair and follow the moral guidelines they set for themselves. LIIs often find it challenging to grasp deep personal connections and may lack confidence in evaluating the nuances or strength of their relationships. They perceive emotions as too subjective and difficult to analyze with logical precision. As a result, they maintain a psychological distance from acquaintances, whether they are strangers, family, or friends, and may not fully understand appropriate interpersonal boundaries for different social situations. This can make them appear dry, stagnant, and formal, and they may have trouble expressing sympathy or compassion, often coming across as blunt and disregarding relational boundaries. They may also struggle to comprehend their own feelings or how others feel about them, particularly when there are no clear emotional cues present.

​
Extroverted Sensing (Se):
​
LIIs generally find it challenging to apply intentional pressure and struggle to respond effectively to it. They approach most situations in a calculated, rational, and realistic fashion, often finding it challenging to engage with those who don't adhere to logical reason. As a result, they may have trouble motivating others to follow their lead and often prefer to work independently. When faced with a problem that can't be resolved through intellect alone and requires direct personal confrontation, LIIs might choose to avoid the situation altogether, believing it would likely lead to frustration and contempt. They often wish that everyone would simply listen to reason. LIIs might perceive efforts to provoke them or push them into action as rude, intrusive, and disrespectful to their intelligence. They often view aggressive attempts to manipulate them as narrow-minded and contrary to their desire for intellectual freedom. Adapting to impulsive or spontaneous behavior can be challenging for them, as they tend to favor stable environments that promote a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. Additionally, LIIs usually lack awareness of power dynamics and show little interest in who holds control in a given situation.​

Extroverted Ethics (Fe):
​
LIIs often exhibit a lack of outward emotional energy, which can make them appear stiff, cold, and overly formal in social situations. They may feel uneasy about their ability to adapt to these environments and appreciate when others make an effort to help them feel comfortable and included. In more relaxed and enjoyable settings, they can become more animated and even display unexpected silliness. LIIs are sensitive to emotional approval from others and value warmth and friendliness, while often finding societal emotional expectations to be constraining. They thrive in nonjudgmental spaces where they are not subjected to scrutiny. LIIs can be easily swayed to act in accordance with the feelings of others and might underestimate the significance of avoiding conflicts for their mental health.
​​​
​​
Introverted Sensing (Si):
​​
LIIs often encounter difficulties when it comes to recognizing and acknowledging their own physical needs, frequently overlooking them and perceiving them as unworthy of their attention. This tendency can lead them to feel a significant amount of pressure to present themselves as capable individuals who can effectively manage their physical surroundings. When faced with criticism regarding their lack of awareness in this area, they may become discouraged and disheartened. LIIs tend to hold individuals who instinctively prioritize the needs of others without requiring any guidance or prompting in high regard. Furthermore, they may downplay the importance of physical well-being and comfort, failing to fully appreciate how these factors are intricately linked to their overall mental health and functioning in daily life.​

Id Block
Extroverted Logic (Te):
​​
LIIs usually demonstrate a somewhat limited interest in both contemplating and implementing practical applications for the ideas they generate. Their focus tends to be on advancing, expanding, and thoroughly exploring the implications of their internal systems, rather than taking the time to consider how these ideas or frameworks might relate to the external world around them. Moreover, they may not be naturally inclined to think about various situations in terms of efficiency, resource allocation, or other practical concerns that might arise. Instead, their attention often gravitates more towards philosophical principles and structured codes of living, which guide their thought processes and decision-making.
​​​
​​
Introverted Intuition (Ni):
​​
LIIs frequently possess vibrant and active imaginations, which allow them to think creatively and envision a wide range of possibilities. Despite their imaginative capacity, they typically do not invest significant time or energy into thoroughly reflecting on the outcomes of their thoughts or delving into the events that shaped their personal history. Furthermore, they often exhibit a lack of interest in analyzing trends or patterns that may hold historical significance, showing minimal concern for the various directions in which history has developed over time. This tendency can lead them to overlook important connections and insights that could enrich their understanding of both their own experiences and the broader historical context.​
