Well what do ya think? I'm not much of a Bible reader... well not at all really, but I wonder what God's personality type is, according to the Bible and its sequels and such. I'd give a tentative guess as an ENFJ.

I can't believe this hasn't been brought up, or if it has I couldn't find it...

INFJ

Hasn't said a lot recently, designed the universe with a lot of contradictory details, demands faith, lots of laws.

This whole "follow the rules or I'll smite you down" attitude sounds slightly ESTJ-ish to me.
On the other hand, it requires some serious planning to create a universe, so perhaps ENTJ would be closer.

Maybe that's why there are so many of them..."created in his image"

Every ESTJ I have ever met thinks they are God anyways.

He changed types from the Old Testiment to New Testiment.


In the old he was a harsh "smite thee" , rule-bound, ESTJ

In the new he was a lovey dovey INFP. Haa!!! She knew which type to change to! (Yeah, he had a sex change too, Haa!)

You people suck and are being dumb (right now anyway), God, by definition, wouldn't have developed functions and underdeveloped functions

It's a joke, since there is no God. :devil:

Relax and chill baby!

I do think this should be in the entertainment forum.

No! INFJ! God's totally Fe in the New Testament, NOT Fi! ;)

I think God's personality can be sumed up as multiple personality disorder. Think of it, all of the different religions that have different ideas of what God is. In some he is kind and forgiving and in others he is mean and spiteful. Infact in some God is male and in some female. So it seems God is actually either many God's working in concert or one God with multiple personality disorder.

To be clear, I am just teasing. For those that don't take criticism well.

lol... Yes, I can see this.



Someone once told me that someone who tests as having no clear preferences on the MBTI is probably schizophrenic.

he wants to be up in heaven, maybe hang around with the chosen ones, so maybe hes an introvert? and i think J is pretty sure

Schizophrenia does not equate having multiple personalities - it is more about the inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Probably doesn't apply to S types.

Something causes me to extremely boring and correct people today. It might be the booyalab bug. :ph34r:

Thanks. About the forum, I was thinking about putting this in People and Psychology but I doubt God counts as a person. As for entertainment, well I think God's followers are more amusing than Mr. G. himself.

Oh, I should have clarified. I was not trying to claim that schizophrenia=multiple personalities. I've got enough crazy people in my life that I've educated myself about such distinctions. (Crazy's a clinical term and all.)

It depends which God you're talking about.
The Christian or Jewish God fucking obviously cant fall under any one of the personality types since Christians believe we were made in his image and that he's perfect (aka: can make any kind of decision, think anything, do anything, makes decisions based on circumstances not on preferences), as opposed to the Roman or Greek gods, who each had different personalities and were flawed.

Wow, now you're trying to assess God psychologically

*gives up*

I could argue that this thread is so amusing that we should make a new forum in it's honor. Ooh and put the "you hit the space bar with which thumb" thread in that too.

you forgot to mention God has the wisdom to know which portion to show...

I'll admit I haven't read any of the rest of this thread...The first page and a half was, in fact better suited to the playground. I can't escape that which I also can't explain. That God lives in me.

*sigh*

you guys are still cool, even you are atheists.

Sure, have fun. I was trying to get some semi-serious answers, if you don't feel up to it than you don't have to argue about it.

I can't believe anyone has yet seen the truth!

God is clearly an INTP. :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

which god?

Ok, ok...if we're talking about Yahweh we'll need to look at the Bible to see his personality so let's do that:


Ex. 7:1, 14, 9:14-16, 10:1-2, 11:7
Kills:
to show that he is Lord;
to show that there is none like him in all the earth;
to show his great power;
to cause his name to be declared throughout the earth;
to give the Israelites something to talk about with their children;
to show that he makes a distinction between Israel and Egypt.

EX 12:29 The Lord kills all the first-born in the land of Egypt

2KI 2:23-24 Forty-two children are mauled and killed, according to the will of God, for having jeered at a man of God.

LE 26:7-8 The Lord promises the Israelites that, if they are obedient, their enemies will "fall before your sword."

LE 26:22 "I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children."





Let's see, he obviously needs to kill a lot of people to show he's the one true god. That's kind of egotistical and cruel.

Maybe he's an ENFJ with way too much power and a really bad day? :rant:

I think God is somewhat ambivalent :HE/SHE/THEY,ETC... is all the 16 types and also none of them, because if God created all of us and he must(might?) have been created everything from 'Him/her/There,ETC...-self(/selves)'-so at the very beginning God created everything from God ,according to the Bible, HE is 'Alpha And Omega': the Beginning and the End-. Finally I could say that God does have Mbti(all16)types in himself and in the same time God doesn't have things like Mbti, cause he is Omniessence Unity, WHO DOESN'T NEED things like that. (P.s.:God is straight and logical in my view.)

EnfJ? Fellow Intps Can we think of God as an average person to specify his type as EnFj? Ok, he is judgeing in the Old Testament but also careing and has great justice.
If God was an Entj, than what for the other 15 defined personality types exist anyway? Why should the Human Enfj type be so 'promoted' to be assigned to God?
God is only Entj? No way pals.:mad: :rant: :shock: :huh: :angry: http://arthistory.westvalley.edu/images/M/MICHELANGELO/GOD.JPG

i would absolutely agree if i didnt hold to the belief that god is this universe and we are his mind

So God is good
And God is love
But what is God really made of?

-His will He does(follows through with it)

God has a sense of humor- He "winked" at people in the Old Testament who did things like getting drunk and sleeping with the wrong people- this was because they did it not excesively

God loves people who love Him and ignores people who hate Him

i don't know

Jesus said "ye are gods"

God as in the universal god that has different names, would be us. So, god would have the personality tye of whatever individual we are looking at.

True, but I was asking about the Christian God according to the bible.
