“…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Lewis & Fischer 1992;Tucker & Gillespie 1993;Fearn, Francis & Wilcox 2001;Kelly & Jugovic 2001;Francis, Craig & Robbins unpublished).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.

“…Judging and perceiving are distinguished by 20 questions like: Are you more punctual (J), or leisurely (P). A number of studies support the reliability and validity of this instrument, including Waskel and Coleman (1991) and Fearn, Francis, and Wilcox (2001).…”

The Psychological Temperament of Anglican Clergy in the Rural Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador

This study draws on temperament theory to examine the psychological profile of Anglican clergy serving in the rural Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador. All the clergy who attended the 2014 Diocesan Clergy School (N = 51) completed the Keirsey Temperament Sorter. The data demonstrated strong preference for Epimethean (SJ) Temperament: 80% of clergywomen and 65% of clergymen. The implications of these findings are discussed for valuing Epimethean ministry and at the same time affirming and retaining the distinctive gifts that the other three temperaments bring to ministry.

The influence of psychological type preferences on readers trying to imagine themselves in a New Testament healing story

A sample of 404 Anglicans from a variety of church traditions within the Church of England was asked if they could imagine themselves into a healing story from Mark 9:14–29 by identifying with one of the characters in it. Around 65% could do so (‘imaginers’) and 35% could not. The likelihood of being an imaginer was higher among (i) women than among men, (ii) those who preferred intuition to sensing or feeling to thinking, and (iii) those who were most charismatically active. Readers with intuition as their dominant function were most likely to be imaginers, while those with thinking as their dominant function were least likely to be so.How to cite this article: Village, A., 2009, ‘The influence of psychological type preferences on readers trying to imagine themselves in a New Testament healing story’, HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies 65(1), Art. #162, 6 pages.
