In extreme situations, becomes cool and unemotional. His thoughts become clearer, and he finds it easier to undertake informed decisions. Dislikes strict, meticulous control.

In conversation sometimes he wavers, becomes coquettish, delays with final answer, but has already decided on everything for himself. Inclined to give empty promises. Always finds excuses for his non-obligation, of the type: "I wanted to, but could not," "because of the circumstances," etc. Likes to talk about his impracticality.

Features of behavior

Watching the IEI for some time, it is easy to notice the following particularity - a contrast between his behavior in public or unfamiliar company, and among familiars, including at home.

Likes to fool around, to create unusual situations. Stirs people up to evoke positive emotions. At home can be moody, capricious, stubbornly gets his way, may put on tears, even provoke scandals.

IEI tries to avoid authoritatively making decisions concerning adopting of unpopular measures. He prefers to share the responsibility with others to distribute it so that it becomes almost imperceptible. This type of leader cannot be considered to be neither frontal nor hierarchical. However, he feels better in a hierarchically organized system, where everyone has their position.

He has an inclination to imperceptible forms of control. This is due to the fact that his psyche is filled with forebodings. He remembers experiences and lessons of the past well and tends not to repeat mistakes. This keeps him under constant pressure, makes him search for sources of danger.

Working conditions

The impetus for IEI is the ability to be self-sufficient, to work calmly at his own pace. He is inquisitive, and if his work contributes to his self-development and is interesting to him personally, he is able to work selflessly. It is better to ignore the fact that his performance is uneven: in periods of high activity he will try to make up what he has missed or put off doing before. IEI is able to work for the idea or some distance prospect, even if he is not receiving any material rewards for it now. If he sees good opportunities in the future, you may count on his support. Due to their strong intuition, IEIs are often impractical, unrealistic, and naive. They find it difficult to organize and coordinate their life, to equip their home and their workplace, as well as stand up for themselves when it is necessary. Thus, if you provide him with some concrete and volitional support, he will decide that you are reliable and decisive person, that you can be relied on, and become one of your most loyal employees: due to their introversion IEIs are not inclined to change jobs frequently.

Recommendations for self-improvement

Your forte is developed intuitive perception that allows you to learn from the mistakes of the past in order to ensure a better future. You envision the future in optimistic terms. You are imaginative and romantic in nature, enjoy beauty and art in life. Your creative nature does not tolerate banality and mediocrity. You bring elements of elegance and originality into anything.

You are well versed in the attitudes of people, have a good sense of humor, know how to use it to improve your own mood and moods of others. You possess a rich inner world of diverse impressions and feelings, and you're very dependent on the nuances of your own inner states. You experience heightened, sublime emotions and tend to idealize people. You introduce aspects of celebration and sublimity into your surrounding world.

Your main problem is that you find it difficult to regularly perform boring, everyday tasks of purely material or pragmatic nature. You are usually not economical with your finances and have difficulty with housekeeping. You find it difficult to resist the temptation to purchase beautiful things the cost of which may be beyond your budget. Be careful not to waste money on unnecessary trinkets: you are at risk to suffer financially.

Show more restraint in spending as to not put yourself into a humiliating position when you'll have to find any ways to pay off debts, even sell your things. Don't become tempted by your lofty visions and illusions of "easy" life, while subordinating moral considerations to them and attempting to avoid "the daily grind". Let your sincere feelings guide you towards the right choice when you have to select between the material and the immaterial aspects of life.

Your other problem is that you are not inclined to hide from others your frustrations and complains about your state. You can tire others with your complaining, make them distrust the sincerity of your sentiments. Refrain from making excessive demands of others and complaints about the lack of care in relation to you. To have the attention of others, try to temper some moodiness in your character.

Be more generous and show active support for people. Try to earn good favor by diligence and hard work, and by active participation in common affairs. Refrain from giving empty promises. Do not spend your free time in dreams, barren emotional conversations, and analyzing secret anxieties. If you devote more of your time to some real concrete activities, your chances to succeed in life will increase significantly.
