The listed differences between SLI and LII primarily concern their divergence in intuition and statics, secondarily in rationality, positivism, and logic (LII tends to be slightly more logical on average).
In terms of functions, SLIs show higher scores in Si, Se, Qe, and Fi (in descending importance), while LIIs score higher in Ti, Ni, Ne, and Qi.
