| Summary: | The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of a ministry team valued by extravert leaders and to assess whether these characteristics were equally valued by introvert leaders. Data were provided by 154 leaders within the Newfrontiers network of churches in the UK who completed the Francis Psychological Type Scales with a list of 55 qualities attributed to good ministry teams. These data identified nine key characteristics that were rated highly by extravert leaders but less highly by introvert leaders. These nine items cohered to produce a reliable scale of extraverted perceptions of a good ministry team (alpha = .71). The data supported the view that ministry teams formed to work well for extraverts may appeal less strongly to introverts. |
