520 |a Messy Church offers, through a distinctive meeting structure and set of values, an opportunity for Christian churches to attract people of a different psychological type profile to those who attend more conventional worship services. To explore whether Messy Church fulfils its potential in this regard, psychological type profiles were obtained for 420 adults (340 women and 80 men) across 41 Messy Churches, mostly in the UK. The most common psychological types at Messy Church were found to be, for women ESFJ (25.6%) and ISFJ (25.3%), and for men ISTJ (25.0%) and ISFJ (17.5%), which is broadly similar to that of conventional Church of England congregations. The most common temperaments were found to be, for women: SJ (75.3%) and NF (16.2%), and for men: SJ (63.8%) and NF (20.0%) illustrating that the SJ temperament, known to be dominant in the Church of England, is just as dominant at Messy Church, particularly among women. However, the hypothesis that Messy Church may attract more NF temperaments is upheld for male helpers (but not for male participants). Among women, proportions of NF temperaments are not significantly different from Church of England congregations.
