Document Details : Title: Mystical Orientation and Psychological Type Subtitle: An Empirical Study among Guests staying at a Benedictine Abbey Author(s): FRANCIS, Leslie J. , VILLAGE, Andrew , ROBBINS, Mandy , INESON, Keith Journal: Studies in Spirituality Volume: 17 Date: 2007 Pages: 207-223 DOI: 10.2143/SIS.17.0.2024649 Abstract : A sample of 318 individuals who have stayed at the Grange retreat house associated with Ampleforth Abbey completed the Francis-Louden Mystical Orientation Scale together with a measure of psychological type in order to examine the relationship between psychological type and mystical orientation. The data demonstrated a significant relationship between mystical orientation and the perceiving process (sensing or intuition), but no relationship between mystical orientation and psychological orientation (introversion or extraversion), the judging process (feeling or thinking) and attitudes toward the outer world (judging or perceiving). These findings are discussed in the light of psychological type theory. |
