Summary: | This study tests Ross’ thesis that individual differences in religious experience and religious expression are related to the perceiving process (sensing and intuition), but independent of the judging process (thinking and feeling). There have been several studies which have confirmed Ross’ thesis. This study aims to build on this research, using the Hall Index of Mystical Spirituality in conjunction with the Francis Psychological Type Scales. There were 536 participants (59% female and 41% male) who came from an on-line community of individuals interested in Celtic Christianity. The data showed that there were individual differences in mystical spirituality related to the perceiving process (sensing and intuition) but independent of the judging process (thinking and feeling). Significantly higher scores of mystical spirituality were reported among intuitive types than among sensing types, while differences between thinking types and feeling types were not significant. |
