In this study, I apply two idiographic methods recommended by Gordon Allport to Augustine's (1960) Confessions. The analysis reveals eight personality traits, which divide further into two motivational systems comprising four traits each. The first is made up of traits that serve needs for dire...

520 |a In this study, I apply two idiographic methods recommended by Gordon Allport to Augustine's (1960) Confessions. The analysis reveals eight personality traits, which divide further into two motivational systems comprising four traits each. The first is made up of traits that serve needs for direction, purpose, and control; the second is composed of traits that are emotion-laden and less subject to conscious control. One trait—intellectual problem solving—is deemed the central one in his propriety striving, and another trait&mdashpersonal shame—is one that most seriously complicates and undermines such striving. Broader implications of this study for the psychology of religion are addressed, including the role that studies of this nature may play in overcoming the division between Allportian and Freudian traditions, and the contribution such studies may make to religious-orientations research.
