Abstract
A sample of 1356 members of the Friends associations of six English cathedrals (775 women and 581 men) completed the Francis Psychological Type Scales. Compared with psychological type profiles published for the Church of England laity, both male and female Friends showed greater preferences for introversion over extraversion, for sensing over intuition, and for judging over perceiving. Female Friends showed less preference for feeling over thinking than other female Anglican churchgoers or women in the general population. Overall, the most frequent psychological profile was the Epimethean (SJ) temperament, which was significantly more frequent than among Anglicans generally in the Church of England. This is a profile expected from people who have a strong desire to maintain tradition and heritage and who have been called “guardians” of the church.
