Also, they tend to think they're right...about EVERYTHING, even when you dismantle their arguments.
The EII poetry student I had once called me out whenever I was projecting my emotions into some reading of someone's work lol. She would present alternate perspectives and back up her reasoning with like, "x, y, z." Maybe she was IEE though. Pretty intellectually methodical.
