Zusammenfassung:Previous research has demonstrated that all 16 psychological types are preparing for or engaged in the exercise of Christian ministry. Drawing on Jungian psychological-type theory, this paper suggests that each of the 16 types may approach ministry in ways that reflect both the unique strengths and the unique weaknesses of that type. The thesis is tested by developing a detailed analysis of the ministry profile associated with one of the 16 types, the INTJ minister. On the basis of this analysis of one specific type, the paper recommends the value and wisdom of examining the other 15 types in a similar manner.
