hi. i'm guessing you posted this in response to my rather emphatic post saying ESFJs are not associated with theology on another thread that linked type and (quintessential) career pick.
ESFJs, and most SJs, would probably make good religious organizational people (servants) and maybe even pastors, although NFs are more commonly pastoral types with their nurturing and counseling traits. SJs do tend to like organizations though. but theologians are more analytical, big picture thinkers and would much more likely be NTs. all types can be attracted to religion or spirituality contrary to popular belief but some types may particularly gravitate to specific areas, positions or even types of religion. e.g. NTs would make good theologians, NFs good contemplatives & mystics, SJs good servant workers (e.g. sunday school teachers, work in a food pantry, etc.), SPs good missionaries maybe.
Stop. Please. Stop.
Hi, actually I haven´t seen that thread yet...
different functions within the organization require different types.
lol
yes, and i was only referring to one particular religion in its institutional form and admittedly painting with a rather broad brush. not all religions or spiritualities are organized. also, there are many within distinct faiths that aren't into the organizational forms. recently i've been part of a movement that is rather anti-institutional within my own faith. in one conversation we did find that many of us were "cultural creatives".
[MENTION=9331]freeeekyyy[/MENTION], was your question for the OP or me? sorry, i couldn't tell. i was referring to christianity in my post but wasn't really asking about others but would be interested to hear about experiences from other faiths.
Stop. Please. Stop.
This really made me laugh. Stop. Please Make it Stop. Stop. *hands thrust to sides of head*
Stop. Please. Stop.
