“…The first has examined the correlations between religious dimensions and psychological type, with the aim of determining whether psychological type preferences are associated with particular expressions of faith or church life. These have shown that type the preferences of clergy and other ministers are related to many aspects of Christianity including charismatic experience (Francis & Jones, 1997), Christian conservativism (Village, 2016(Village, , 2019, tolerance for religious uncertainty (Francis & Jones, 1999), and different modes of faith expression (Francis & Louden, 2000;Francis, Craig, et al, 2008;Village, 2013).…”

Psychological type profiles and temperaments were assessed among 232 male and 51 female ministers linked to the Baptist Union of Great Britain (BUGB) and compared with previously published samples from the general UK population and the Church of England. Compared with the general population, Baptist ministers showed greater propensity for introversion, intuition, and judging. Male ministers showed greater propensity for feeling than the general population, but there was no difference among the women. Compared with Anglican clergy, Baptist ministers showed similar preferences for orientation and judging, but greater propensity towards sensing over intuition and judging over perceiving. The most frequent temperament was Epimethean (SJ), followed by Apollinarian (NF) among women and Promethean (NT) among men. The most frequent psychological types were ISTJ, ISFJ, and INFP. The implications for the type of leadership and pastoral care offered by these ministers are discussed.

“…Psychological types may be described in terms of distinct representative categories, while psychological traits are individual personality characteristics that may be described along a continuum and possessed to varying degrees (Allport, 1937). Some studies have explored psychological type in relationship to interpretation choice, suggesting that people have a tendency to prefer interpretations of scripture that are consistent with their particular psychological type (Bassett, Matthewson, & Gailitis, 1993;Francis, 2012;Francis & Jones, 1998;Francis & Jones, 1999;Village, 2014;Village & Francis, 2005).…”

This study assesses individual social attitudes and ideological beliefs regarding systems of power and sexism (i.e., Authoritarianism, Conservatism, Traditionalism, Social Dominance Orientation [SDO], Hostile Sexism [HS], and Benevolent Sexism [BS]) in relationship to Bible interpretation choice about passages related to gender. Data were collected from 216 conservative Protestant Christian churchgoers. It was hypothesized that individuals with higher levels of Authoritarianism, Conservatism, Traditionalism, SDO, HS, and BS would prefer interpretations that endorse gender hierarchy. The results supported these hypotheses, finding Traditionalism and HS to be the primary factors related to interpretation choice. Additionally, it was hypothesized that any significant difference between men and women regarding interpretation choice would be explained by individual differences in these social attitudes and ideological beliefs. Men were significantly more likely than women to prefer Bible interpretations oriented toward gender hierarchy, and this difference was primarily explained by Traditionalism and HS.
