At the Vestry retreat last weekend, I moderated a Meyers-Briggs testing (Keirsey Temperment Sorter) session, just as a gettin’-to-know-you sort of thing. As usual, I came out as an INTJ. (I have a long, long post I never made of my MTBI results from a couple of dozen online tests, most of which come out INTJ. I’ll have to dig that up some time …)
It’s way, way, way too easy to get too much into MBTI results. And it’s apparently a highly profitable little industry for some. But MBTI results can be informative clues into comfort levels and preferences for how one tackles things — good self-knowledge, and a good reminder that other folks may see and operate and feel comfortable in different ways than how I do.
It was interesting that everyone there was a J (except for one P) — which is no doubt the cue for someone to talk about Christians being more Judgmental than Perceptive, though that’s not what it really means …
Lee’s brother Mike comes up INTJ, too.
While the two of you don’t remind me of each other, Lee says he used to be quite the comics fan. Coincedence? I think not. Mike isn’t religious, as far as I know.
I don’t know that INTJ is specifically religious, though. And we appear to be about 2% of the population. Though CS Lewis has been identified as one. 🙂
INFP for me! Although I suspect as I get older the P may slip more into a J. 🙂
