Where I have seen non-Australians take personality tests they suggest it may be the same overseas. <BR/><BR/>A psychologist I spoke to recently indicated NFs for Sydney Baptists, NTs for Sydney Anglicans (Calvanists), SPs for Sydney Hillsong (Pentecostals). I was wary of the Sydney Anglican assertion though as in my experience the dominat trait is TJ, whether STJ or NTJ. <BR/><BR/>Although I think there is something to be said for prayer and temperament I am very wary of this too. In my experience prayer can sometimes involve exploring your shadow side so I think prayer needs to be explored within a broader framework of Christian practice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
