This is a thread for people to contribute their experience (please, no armchair theorizing!) with the differences between the introverted and extroverted directions of each of the functions in the form of word pairs. The idea is to distill our collective experience to provide a feel for how the functions actually play out as a supplement to the abstract descriptions and flawed tests.
Go ahead and specify if you think a word pair is only relevant in conjunction with another function.
I'll edit this OP to include contributions I don't disagree with as they come in.
Ne vs. Ni
Springy vs. dogged
Cognizant vs. starry-eyed
Including vs. excluding
Observing vs. envisioning
Chromatic vs. wraithlike
Ever-inquisitive vs. inquisitive-then-satisfied
From the one to the many vs. from the many to the one
Te vs. Ti
No-nonsense vs. academic (in conjunction with dominant or auxiliary N)
Marshaling vs. analytical
Organizing vs. piercing
Accomplishing vs. reflecting
Dominance vs. jurisprudence
Se vs. Si
Promoting vs. retaining
Intemperate vs. temperate
Direct vs. indirect
Photographic vs. derived (impressionistic)
Expansive vs. habitual
Noticing vs. knowing
Awareness vs. recall
Fe vs. Fi
Soothing vs. championing
Appropriate vs. sincere
World-then-ego vs. ego-then-world
Norms vs. ideals
Harmonic vs. certifying
