SEI's will have more trouble figuring out how to open a door.
...In all seriousness, when I run into super stoic ILI-seeming IEI's, one of the ways I tell their type is that they're just as baffled about Te things as I am, despite seeming very smart and together. It's like the crack in the facade lol. Try to do anything with them and it comes out quickly. The same thing probably holds for SEI/SLI.
Also, eventually if you banter with them the "real" Fe will come out--not so much a display of emotion/excitement as much as a very particular type of curved nuance in the ways that things are stated, usually accompanied by a shift in tone/pitch of voice. Which isn't quantifiable but vastly changes the content of communication. There's something a little flirtatious about Fe imo--it's like testing a certain thing you subtly offer the other person and seeing if the person will "hold" that thing or if you have to "drop" it, if that makes any sense. And you do that over and over at intervals, in different ways. Both Fe-creatives are playful in a way, and, like Octo said, will be able to meet you on this front. SLI's, although capable of being very outwardly emotional, will probably ultimately respond to too much Fe with either a very factually straight-forward response or hesitation.
And they're much less fluid with emotion--their expressions are often *too* Fe if they're faking it--there's expression but no nuance or variation. And it tends to be attached to either learned social circumstances and/or consistent expressions of like/dislike. For instance, my SLI cousin and I giggle a lot while watching movies together, but a lot of times something horrible yet funny will suddenly happen on screen, and I'll laugh, and then she'll stare at me and go: "...why are you laughing? stop." even though both of us were laughing a moment ago and I subconsciously thought we were "being jovial."
