Abstract
This study complements recent work employing personality theories among clergy by exploring the insights afforded by the Glowinkowski Predisposition Indicator (GPI), an instrument designed to assess engagement with professional work across six domains styled as emotionality, extraversion, cognition, agreeableness, attainment, and drive. Data provided by 99 Anglican clergy from one rural diocese in the Church of England identified an introverted approach to leadership that manages change cautiously, preferring to remain with tried and tested methods rather than to experiment with novel approaches. Two-fifths of the clergy would find it hard to express their feelings openly, leading to a potentially unhealthy suppression and internalisation of personal negative emotions.
