Default Myers-Briggs + God

The recent personality thread has gotten me curious about something. I think it would be interesting if everyone took the Myers-Briggs test but answered as they believe God would. So how about reporting results as 1) philosophical/religious persuasion, 2) God's personality type, 3) Your personality type (If you know it off hand)

Link to the test.

1) Orthodox Christian
2) I came up with God being an ENFJ.
3) INFJ

I know these tests are rather silly, but I think this approach might be somewhat amusing.

Wouldn't God already know His personality type?

You mean that there are more than one personality types for God? doesn't that mean that there must be more than one God? I think Zeus was an extrovert type, throwing his thunderbolts, but Osiris was more the silent, introvert type, being a mummy.

Oh well, so much for this thread. GeoTheo, this had less to do with God's actual personality type and more to do with how people perceived God.

1. Roman pagan whose patron deity is Postverta of the Past.
2. Postverta is an ENFJ.
3. I'm an INTJ.

The one with which you are most familiar.

I've read too much comparative religion, and the few people I know who believe in a God all have different concepts of God. So I can't really pick one with which I am most familiar. I could go with the traditional beliefs of my family, I suppose, but it's hard to imagine Thor sitting down to take a written test. He would probably just hit the computer with his hammer.

That's fine. I suspect no one wants to do this anyway.
