Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore how MBTI-ISTJ pastors lead effectively in pastoral ministry by understanding and capitalizing on their unique temperament. This study utilized a qualitative design, using semi-structured interviews with eight pastors serving in the Presbyterian Church in America. The literature review and interview analysis focused on how ISTJ pastors perceived their effectiveness as leaders, their motivation, their understanding of others' perceptions of their leadership, and how they develop strategies for stronger leadership. The researcher concluded that ISTJs are effective ministry leaders because of their high sense of duty, ministering God's word, administration and dependability.
