argumentative? As in, arguing with just about everything you say?
Would they be more polite, etc?

Hi! I'm an ENFP. :-)
Ok, with no offense meant toward our lovely Gamma friends, I'm going to say that IME that sounds more like an ISFj.

I'm not like that at all. I'm probobly the least argumentative person you could meet. Can't really picture a SLI being that way.
SiTe can be argumentative, but tend to be a strange mix between really direct and avoidant. The SiTe I know tend to be direct with what they think, and might argue if it's about someone telling them what to do that they don't agree with (but that's something everyone has the capacity for) but they are generally a 'live and let live' type. They'll notice things that can change in people, but generally don't get confrontational unless it becomes too much. All the leads I know tend to shift the topic away from something uncomfortable, even if you're right in the middle of the conversation.
This.
My ISTp-Te dad is argumentative for a brief amount of time. Sometimes he himself starts arguing, or says something bad that makes you reply with anger. But when you reply with you arguments or with rage he just avoids to go further, saying "You can't understand. I'm done with this" and stops. It's ironic because it seems he made you fall in "Se" (if you have it) and later retreat to make you feel the stupid angry person.
With time I tried to not overreact with my role Se. Inestad, I just make jokes about these traits and he chills back (?).
Annoy an SLI enough or frequently make contrasting statements towards something they value and they will become very argumentative and aggressive. Generally though we tend to avoid argument. If I say I don't care much for the Steelers and you as a passionate Steelers fan try arguing as to why they're the cream of the crop, beez kneez, best of the best, I won't engage you on that and just smile and nod until you shut up. Avoid and ignore is how I usually react to attempts to draw me into argument.

They like all types are confident in the strong valued regions, but are introverts and Si, Fi-valuers, so they often avoid confrontation whenever possible.
