Abstract
  • This study will examine two research questions with implicit hypotheses: (1) Do listeners with the same dominant function generally rate as “speaking most specifically” to them the segments of sermons which were written with them as a target audience? Correspondingly, do they rate the segments of sermons which were written to their inferior function as “speaking least specifically” to them? If the preliminary evidence suggests an affirmative answer to this question, then: (2) How successful can one preacher, who has one dominant function, be in crafting four different segments of the same sermon to speak to groups with each of the four dominant functions…Two converging arenas, that of a professional pastor, and that of an MBTI professional, intersect with this project…People who come to church are different in the ways they perceive and make judgments. As a result of this, communication becomes an issue. By making the basic assumption that the MBTI is an effective instrument in typing how people perceive and make judgments, it would seem also that communications can be designed to communicate to people more effectively by type. A minister who crafts his or her sermon according to type will have the ability to communicate more effectively than one who does not–that is the underlying presupposition in this project.
