| Summary: | This research obtained ratings of Jesus on a comprehensive, well-validated personality instrument, the Adjective Check List. Ratings from 77 women and 38 men (ages 17 to 75) were obtained, and the resulting historiographic profile portrayed Jesus as being sympathetic and supportive of others, although he was perceived as maintaining an autonomous and detached presence. Using the five-factor model of personality as the organizing framework, we found that about 11% of the variance in the Jesus ratings overlapped with self-ratings of personality. We outlined the utility of historiographic analysis employing comprehensive models of personality by discussing it in terms of attachment theory. |
