In most cases, the difference was just over 1%, which may indicate that these personality types tend to have firm views when it comes to religion, and those views are not influenced by their self-confidence and resistance to stress. Curiously, Diplomat personality types were the least likely to be influenced by the type variant as far as their religiosity was concerned. They, like their Analysts cousins, also like finding their own way.Īmong Diplomats, INFJs (“Advocates”) were the most religious, at 44.33%, and INFPs were the least, at 33.50%.
This probably accounts for their position as the third least likely group to claim they are religious. They also are open-minded and need room to imagine and to draw their own conclusions. The Diplomats are an Intuitive group like the Analysts. In the Explorer role group, Turbulent ESTPs (“Entrepreneurs”) were the least religious (33.16%) and Turbulent ISFPs (“Adventurers”) had the highest percentage, at 48.65%. However, it is not yet clear whether this particular trait correlates strongly with religiosity, and this hypothesis warrants more research. Looking at overall figures, a higher proportion of Observant personality types reported being religious compared to Intuitive ones (47.41% vs.
The Explorers share the Observant trait with the Sentinels, and they have the second highest percentage of those who endorsed the statement. As a group, they like finding their own way.
They also need intellectual room to “play” and a religious setting may not provide enough of that kind of freedom. However, they would probably not embrace beliefs unquestioningly. A system whose continued existent depends on its followers steadfastly continuing its traditions may be less attractive to those in the Analyst group.įor Analysts, religious apologetics might prove interesting to them as a philosophical exercise. They usually want to improve and change systems rather than simply uphold a system as it is. Interestingly, it seems that the type variant plays a particularly important role when it comes to religiosity in the Analyst role group – the difference between Assertive and Turbulent types reaches 6-7 percentage points in some cases, significantly more than in any other group.Īnalysts, with their Intuitive and Thinking traits, need a sensible argument based on a reasonable collection of solid evidence before they make up their minds. On the other side of the spectrum, Turbulent ENTJs (“Commanders”) were a significant exception, with 44.26% reporting as religious. In this group, Assertive INTPs (“Logicians”) had the lowest proportion of religious people, only 21.61%. Only 30.93% of them agreed with the statement. The Analysts were the group least likely to say they were very religious. They can be inflexible at times.Īmong Sentinels, Assertive ISFJs (“Defenders”) had the highest score, with 58.02% of them stating they were religious, while Assertive ESTJs (“Executives”) had the lowest percentage of religious people, at 40.84%. They hold to specific “right” and “wrong” ways of doing things more than other types do. They are also the most likely to have prescribed, “proven” paths that they follow, whether in work, home or in their belief system. Sentinels are the group most likely to do things the way they’ve always been done and to hold on to the ways of the past. Loyalty is a type of faith in itself, and it is easy to apply the idea of loyalty to a religious institution or faith. They are conscientious people who prefer guidelines and strong standards. We would expect this because of Sentinels’ love for tradition and their “by-the-book” approach to life. Sentinels, defined by their strong Observant and Judging Traits, had the highest percentage (50.31%) of religious people among those who responded. We will not cover type strategies in this article as they seem to have negligible impact on our respondents’ religiosity – the percentage of religious people in each strategy group hovers around 40%. To begin with, here are charts showing the religiosity of different types and type roles. However, there seem to be several major differences between personality types and their role groups, as well as individual traits.
We’ve received some interesting results from our community when we asked readers to agree or disagree with the statement “You are very religious.” There was not, in any group, a strong majority who declared that they were, with the highest group hovering around 50%. We’re about to fearlessly break that rule – at least when it comes to religion. “Never discuss politics, religion or sex.” That’s what etiquette enthusiasts have been advising people for decades.
