“…The latter provided a relatively short and accessible measure of psychological type appropriate for inclusion within a larger questionnaire. Recent empirical studies support the reliability and validity of the KTS as an effective and efficient operationalisation of the Jungian constructs of psychological type (Waskel & Coleman, 1991;Quinn, Lewis & Fischer 1992;Tucker & Gillespie 1993;Fearn, Francis & Wilcox 2001;Kelly & Jugovic 2001;Francis, Craig & Robbins unpublished). The main aim was to relate preference for interpretations to preference in the perceiving and judging processes, rather than to psychological type as such.…”

This paper tests the theory that lay people prefer interpretations of the bible that match their psychological type preferences. A sample of 404 lay, adult Anglicans from 11 different churches read a healing story from Mark's gospel and then chose between interpretative statements designed to appeal to particular psychological type preferences. Psychological type preferences were assessed according Jung's typology using the Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS). Participants preferred interpretations that matched their personality preferences in both the perceiving (sensing versus intuition) and judging (feeling versus thinking) processes. Theological content may also have influenced choice independently of psychological type preferences because those with conservative rather than liberal attitudes to the bible also preferred sensing over intuitive and feeling over thinking interpretations.

“…Furthermore, in some cases, the MBTI has provided information above and beyond what the measures of the Five-Factor model of personality could provide [e.g., 65]. In our study, we chose to use the MBTI to assess personality types because it is widely used [69], it focuses on how individuals process information, and it is more generally accepted in business decision making contexts than any other personality test of which we are aware. The MBTI has been used by many decision theory researchers to study decision patterns among personality types [70][71][72][73][74] and test-retest studies have shown strong reliability [75].…”

Despite the proliferation of virtual stores, research into the consumer personality characteristics that influence consumer interactions with virtual stores has been lagging. In this paper we propose and test a model linking consumer personality type with a decision to purchase from a virtual store. The results indicate that a consumer's personality type has an effect on perceived ease of use and peer influence; and those two variables, together with perceived usefulness, have an effect on a consumer's eventual decision to purchase from a virtual store. The practical implications of the findings are that consumer perceptions and attitudes towards virtual stores can be altered by personalizing virtual stores in a manner which will increase their likelihood of making a purchase.

Although there is not perfect symmetry Understanding cathedral visitors 10 between different operationalisations of psychological type theory there is a growing body of evidence to support the concurrent validity of these instruments (Quinn, Lewis, & Fischer, 1992;Tucker & Gillespie, 1993;Kelly & Jugovic, 2001;Francis, Robbins, & Craig, 2007).…”

This study examines the experience and appreciation of 381 visitors to St Davids Cathedral in West Wales through the lens of Jungian psychological type theory. The data demonstrate that St Davids Cathedral attracts more introverts than extraverts, more sensers than intuitives, and more judgers than perceivers, but equal proportions of thinkers and feelers. The data also demonstrate that different aspects of the visitor experience appeals to different psychological types. Sensors are more attracted than intuitives by the facts, information and data which they encounter on their visit. Feelers are more attracted than thinkers by the atmosphere and wider ambience generated by the cathedral during their visit. The implications of these findings are discussed for understanding and developing the way in which cathedrals may develop the visitor experience. Understanding cathedral visitors 3 Understanding cathedral visitors: Psychological type and individual differences in experience and appreciationThere seems to be a growing recognition within England and Wales of the symbiotic relationship between cathedrals and the tourism industry. For example, in their report, Heritage and Renewal, the Archbishops' Commission on Cathedrals (1994) highlighted both the importance of tourism for cathedrals and the importance of cathedrals for tourism within the wider economy. The commissioners wrote as follows.
