I really liked this description and I find it highly accurate: (from

Both ILEs and IEEs are known to be inclined to be nonconformists (or believe so themselves), but again, for different reasons and in different ways.
For ILEs, their nonconformism comes from their creative-Ti and their Fi-PoLR. They prefer to set rules that make sense to them in the first place (creative-Ti), and they lack skills that lead to understanding of social norms. If someone, preferably an SEI, helps them to understand these social norms, they are much more inclined to toe the line, of course also because they would probably mingle a lot more with compatible people. For ILEs, nonconformism is actually a way to get closer to people.
For IEEs, it is exactly the other way around: they understand social norms perfectly (creative-Fi), and if they accidentally violate a social norm they didn't know about, they will learn soon enough by picking up all kinds of cues. They are perfectly capable of acting in accordance with social norms, provided that gets them where they want to go. If it doesn't, they are more likely to deny the validity of the social norms at hand, and go their own way. Thus for IEEs, nonconformism is a way to get away from people.
Btw, I think you're an introvert.
