| Summary: | Seventy active members of Episcopal congregations were asked to indicate their preference for a set of questionnaire items composed of personality characteristics and typical role activities of clergymen. The preference for personality characteristics was significantly stronger than for the role-activity items. Moreover, the intrinsic-extrinsic orientation of the respondents, as premeasured on the Allport Personal Religious Orientation Scale, was not significantly related to their choices. Some implications of these findings for seminary curricula are briefly explored. |
