Abstract
This study set out to examine the psychological type profile of Anglican clergymen serving within the Church of Ireland in Northern Ireland. A sample of 85 clergymen completed the Francis Psychological Type Scales. The data demonstrated a group of clergymen who prefer introversion (68%) over extraversion (32%), sensing (67%) over intuition (33%), feeling (60%) over thinking (40%), and judging (82%) over perceiving (18%). The two predominant types among this group of clergymen were ISFJ (25%) and ISTJ (19%). These findings are then set alongside previously published profiles of Anglican clergymen serving in England and Wales. While in England the majority preference on the perceiving process is for intuition, in both Northern Ireland and Wales it is for sensing.
