Abstract

Within a Christian context a series of studies has profiled religious participation as associated with introversion rather than extraversion and with feeling rather than thinking. The most frequently occurring type in church congregation is ISFJ. In the present study data provided by 48 participants in the mosque demonstrate that within a Muslim context religious participation is associated with extraversion rather than introversion and with thinking rather than feeling. The most frequently occurring types in the mosque are extraversion, sensing, thinking, and judging and ENTJ. These data caution against generalising findings about the connection between personality and religion from one religious tradition to another.
