Orthodox Judaism

[Iconoclast IX]

If you were to give Hasidic Judaism (and Orthodox Judaism in general) a socionics type, what type would it be?

Is there any point to doing VI on a belief system?

Not really, but I thought it would be fun. I have seen nations and organizations assigned socionics types, so why not Hasidic Judaism?

[Iconoclast IX]

The culture of Abrahamic religions in general tends towards beta, imo...

aristocracy>democracy (the chosen people, etc.)

> (circumcision- I can't imagine a type coming up with that one; god and smiting people he dislikes; "thy god is a jealous god", etc.)

> (The Apocalypse and other eschatological details as well as the prophets of Israel)

+ bw (heavy emphasis on establishing very strict systems of belief regarding common everyday practices)

+ (organized religion in general, is also strong on -)

so... ISTj possibly? Whereas Arabs have ENFj as a national character, and there's still conflict in the middle east... go figure.

I'm not so sure about / > /, though. Hasidic Jews are usually very passive people.

A shallow look at Jewish culture would probably lead one to such a conclusion.

Assigning a specific type to a whole culture is shallow to begin with. I was only indulging.

True.
