| Summary: | This study examined the relationship between the ministry expectations experienced by newly ordained clergy in the Church of England and both their personal psychological type profile and the psychological type profile of the training incumbent along-side whom they were apprenticed to learn the practice of ministry. Data were provided by 98 curates who completed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and a set of items designed to map their perception of the expectations placed on them by their training incumbent. Analysis of these items generated the Tilley Index of Training Expectations (TITE). The MBTI was also completed by the training incumbent. The data demonstrated that the ministry expectations placed on curates were significantly related to the psychological type profile of the training incumbents but not of the curates. The implications of incumbents shaping curates in their own image (rather than developing the curate’s own preferred predisposition for ministry) are discussed for the long-term work-related psychological health of trainee clergy |
