| Summary: | A sample of 1156 churchgoers (651 women and 505 men) from a range of Christian denominations in England completed the Francis Psychological-Type Scales. Compared with psychological-type profiles published for the UK general population, both male and female churchgoers showed greater preferences for introversion over extraversion and judging over perceiving. Overall, there was a preference for sensing over intuition, but in both sexes this preference was less marked than in the general population. Female churchgoers showed a strong preference for feeling over thinking that mirrored that in the general population. Male churchgoers showed no preference for feeling or thinking, which was in marked contrast to the strong preference for thinking among men in the general population. The predominant types among female churchgoers were ISFJ (22%), ESFJ (15%) and ISTJ (12%), and among male churchgoers ISTJ (24%), ISFJ (14%), INTJ (8%) and ESTJ (7%). These results are compared with similar studies elsewhere in the UK and in Australia. |
