Insightful and helpful. My side observation is Roy was wrong. I administered the MB profile to literally hundreds of Episcopal clergy. The majority f our clergy are introverts, most are NF and second are NTs. All you said about ENFP is correct. NFs and NTs bring meaning to our vast SJ parishioners. 😇

Thank you. Over the years I've also administered the MBTI to hundreds of clergy. My experience pretty much confirmed Roy's assessment. Might have something to do with the kind of people attracted to the training programs I conducted. In any case the clergy are clearly disproportionately NF and my guess is there are many bishops who are NTs. As you say, it has to be very frustrating to our Sensing parishioners, especially when they serve as parish treasurer.

Thank God for SJ treasurers. However, don’t have them report near the beginning of a vestry meeting 🤣
