I don't really believe in God, but if God were to exist, what type do you think he'd be, if any at all? I think the God of the Bible is a major ESTJ (although it's hard to type God as using the senses). What I would like to perceive a God as is INTP, a guy who doesn't interfere and simply maintains and discovers continually the system as it is. What are your thoughts?

The christian God would, without a doubt, be ENFP. A young 15 year old pubescent ENFP.

He who loves all but meanwhile doesnt mind striking down whole groups of people either and seems to have no reservations about making generalisations.

XXXX, by definition. Anything other, and that is to say god is more one thing and less of another. But god encompasses everything that can ever be. Unequality is an attribute of all manifestations at the exclusion of god. Being everything - equality - is essentially being featureless. Features are the focal point of typology.

That's in concept - the Creator archetype. Specific gods though, are not the creators, but the creations; of beings fundamentally unequal. So depending on the god, they exhibit our different characteristics and flaws. A type for each can be concluded upon analysis, then.

This is highly dependent on which god you are speaking of. The Christian god of the Old Testament? Of the New Testament? Allah? Zeus? Shiva? Ra? Thor? Odin?

I'm going to assume in this case that we are probably narrowing it down to the "creator gods" section. There's still a lot to choose from.

A good answer but kind of avoiding the question. Let's say it this way - imagine you were to write something and you had to portray God as a person, what person would he most likely be like?

Se/Ti; a lot of beauty and a lot of technical workings. Maybe god is the ultimate xSTP.

Oh, but the Christian God... Te/Si. ESTJ.

The Christian God is a female ISFJ.

Yes but the God of the bible clearly has a personality.

God would be like a caricature of myself, influenced by the people and events around me. Incidentally that was most likely the process that was actually involved.

There's some immature Fi in there. ESTJ wouldn't be far off. Type 1 if you're keen on Enneagram. 1 & 8.

And that's what the second part pertains to.

I like to think of God as an ENTP with his shit together.
