Abstract

The Francis Psychological Type Scales were developed during the early 2000s to operationalize the four components of psychological type theory within survey-style research, proposing measures of introversion and extraversion, sensing and intuition, feeling and thinking, judging and perceiving. Drawing on four datasets of clergy and churchgoers (N = 291, 879, 1,296, 1,525), the present study tests the factor structure of these established measures alongside the fifth construct of emotional temperament, distinguishing between calm emotional temperament and volatile emotional temperament. The data both support the satisfactory performance of the proposed Francis Psychological Type and Emotional Temperament Scales (FPTETS) and suggest a research program for the further development and refinement of this measure.
