Abstract
  • Many young adult Christians lack awareness of even their most basic patternsof sin. This project sought to broaden awareness of such instinctive patterns byidentifying relationships between sin tendencies and personality types. Specifically, itexplored sin patterns in relation to each of the eight preferences of the Myers-BriggsType Indicator: introversion, extraversion, sensing, intuition, thinking, feeling, judging,and perceiving.All subjects had a 4-year college degree, were under the age of 35, and werebelievers in Jesus Christ who were actively involved in Christian community. The studytook a mixed method research approach and collected both quantitative and qualitativedata. It began with a descriptive survey which yielded fifty-three usable responses.Following the survey, the researcher conducted in-depth interviews with seven of therespondents in order to gain deeper insight regarding the impact their personalitypreferences had on their patterns of behavior.When considered in combination, the quantitative and qualitative resultsverified strong relationships between six of the eight preferences and specific sintendencies.

The study recommends some specific additionalresearch be conducted to confirm these potential correlations. The project concludes withrecommendations regarding how one could utilize the findings to positively
