The part about charismatic leadership sounds EIE. Just look at H****R and his cult.Originally Posted by Satan

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

I've done a bit of reading about Scientology for over the years, and it seems LRH started Scientology simply as a profit making venture. He equated prophet with profit. He had something of that stereotypical ESTp showman quality about him, had no qualms with creating obviously unethical practices. I think you can break cult leaders down into a few groups:
1. Those looking just to fleece their flock. These would be people like LRH.
2. Those who have a narcissistic need to be worshipped and control people.
3. Those with a genuine spiritual outlook that they want to share and promote. (I'm guessing these are actually the rarest)
4. Someone with a combination of the above traits.
I've always wanted my own cult but the problem with me is that I'm a behind-the-scenes kind of person who isn't into marketing like LRH who is amazing at it. I would start a cult yesterday if I had will power to make a centric idea and influence plan and travel everywhere telling people about it. I really just want to lay in bed and eat chocolate ice cream in my pjs

“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
don't you have one already?
