tabular_rasa: (Wherefore?)

I posed some questions on religion in my INFJ (the Myers-Briggs type) community, [livejournal.com profile] infj. If anyone else here wants to answer them, I have listed them. It could be good for comparison, and, well, I'm immensely curious! It's about religion, so it should be interesting.



Do you consider yourself spiritual/religious? Are you more spiritual or religious-- do you prefer organized religion or an individual focus?

Are you formally affiliated with any particular religion? Do you belong to a more liberal or conservative branch? Do, do you agree with all points of doctrine? Are you comfortable with any conflicts between your morals and the morals of your organized faith? How do you handle them?

If not, do you feel you lean towards one, or a particular combination of several? Why do you think you chose the more individualistic approach?

Were you brought up in your faith? If not, when/how did you arrive at your present faith? Have you ever changed faiths? If there was a conflict with the old faith, was it a change on your part, a change in the religion's system, or a disagreement that was always there?

Do you think your personal spirituality/religion/belief system has changed during the course of your lifetime?




I have been obsessed with Myers-Briggs personality types testings for the past few days (I think it's because I'm bored, because everyone is back at school-- or not back at school, and in Kansas and New York and Kentucky and southern Indiana and things-- even my family is back at school and back at work, and so I'm all on my own for all of the day-- plus, well, I'm getting sick of being back here, anyway. I miss school!). I've gotten pretty good at predicting people's personalities; if I can't guess them completely by myself, I can ask them a few pretty good, pointed questions and then figure it out from there, at least to the conflict of only one of the four categories. After that, I have them read some description of their type (or possible types) to see if it (or what) fits.

Me: INFJ (always have been astoundingly so, since my mom read that Nurture vs. Nature book-- I've grown up parallel to it; it's ridiculous), with learned skills to ENFJ.
Tiffany: ISFJ.
Jessica: ENFJ, with learned skills to ENTJ.
Lisa: ISTJ.
Nicole (untested, but I suspect): INFP, with learned skills to ISFP.
Kristina (untested, but I suspect): INFJ.



Harry Potter (yeah, not mine, but, hey . . . and this is based mostly on our roleplay Marauder journal, so it may be a little biased . . . )
James Potter: ESTJ.
Sirius Black: ESFP.
Remus Lupin: ISFJ.
Peter Pettigrew: ESFJ.
Lily Evans: ENTJ or ENFJ-- we're not sure if she's more logical/rational or emotional yet. As a girl, it's more likely F, but she could be an anomaly among girls, and that would not surprise me . . .
Severus Snape: INTJ.

The von Brandt Family
Reginald (not drunk): ISTJ.
Otylia: ESFJ.
Eveline: ESTP.
Varick: JESSICA, TAKE HIS TEST!!! lol . . .
Mariel: INTJ.
Roderick: INFJ.

Internment Camp Story
Megumi: ENFP.
Andy: INTJ.
Richard: ESFJ.
Rachel: ENFJ.
Beth-Ann: ISFJ or ISTJ (more likely ISTJ if she's going to follow the Lisa pattern, lol . . . ).
Margie: ESTP.
Mika: ESFP (note to self: check Michellanne to see if this really follows, lol . . . ).



I have discovered that I am very vain about my personality type. I'm more strongly rooted in it than most people (I don't flip-flop between N and S, F and T, or J and P-- or all combinations of the three sets-- like most people tend to do; the most I do is behave a little ENFJ because I've learned to be more outgoing, and I care more about people-- even if I am drained by interaction with them-- than the average Introvert), and, well, Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, and supposedly Albus Dumbledore and even Jesus Christ share the same Myers-Briggs type!

. . . and, well, a personality is a worthy thing to be vain of, I think. It's something a little more within the realm of control. Though I'm not without my weaknesses ^_^

Supposedly some of us are psychic, too, but I don't about that-- though I can sense "death" in the ground, places . . .

. . . and we're also The Tin Man. Somehow, Wicked made that a lot more unflattering than it could have been . . .
