| Résumé: | A sample of 677 ordained clergy in Australia participated in the 2011 National Church Life Survey completing the Leaders Survey 2 questionnaire that included the Francis Psychological Type Scales (FPTS), an operationalisation of psychological type theory and the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI), an operationalisation of subjective well-being. The data demonstrate good reliability for the FPTS and the PWI among this sample. The ordained clergy in Australia report a preference for introversion (56%), sensing (59%), feeling (54%), and judging (81%). Exploration of the relationship between psychological type and well-being demonstrates that extraverts and judging types are significantly more likely to record higher levels of well-being. The implications of these findings are discussed. |
