Psychological Type Preferences of Roman Catholic Priests in the United Kingdom
Craig, Charlotte L.; Duncan, Bruce; Francis, Leslie J.
Journal of Beliefs & Values, v27 n2 p157-164 Aug 2006
This study explores the psychological type profile of Roman Catholic priests. A sample of 79 priests completed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Form G). The study shows that Roman Catholic priests tend to prefer introversion over extraversion, feeling over thinking and judging over perceiving. Near equal preferences are shown for sensing and intuition. The type preferences of Roman Catholic priests in the UK are compared and contrasted with the type preferences of Roman Catholic priests in the USA and Protestant clergy in the UK. These findings are explored within the context of the role of the priest within the Roman Catholic Church. (Contains 1 table.)
