| Summary: | A sample of 545 religiously committed Baptist youth (who were participating in a week-long mission and service program) were invited to imagine themselves serving as ordained ministers and to rate their approach to ministry on the revised Payne Index of Ministry Styles (an instrument based on Jungian psychological type theory). The data demonstrated two main findings. First, while the young people’s own psychological type colored their perception of ministry, this influence was not strong. Second, ministry was conceived more strongly in extraverted terms than in introverted terms. On the basis of these findings, the recommendation is made that religious vocations among young people should be fostered by encouraging them to recognize that there is room within ministry for different personality types to bring different gifts and to exercise different ministry styles. |
