Abstract
This study examines the connection between openness to mystical experience and psychological type theory, distinguishing between introversion and extraversion, between sensing and intuition, between thinking and feeling, and between judging and perceiving. Data were provided by 146 individuals who responded to an invitation published in the magazine of the Alister Hardy Society for the Study of Spiritual Experience and completed both the Francis-Louden Mystical Orientation Scale and the Francis Psychological Type Scale. The data demonstrated that among this sample feeling types recorded significantly higher scores on the index of openness to mystical experience in comparison with thinking types.
