I'll bet that we can type God in each of the biblical books where He actually speaks; and, I'll bet that that we can discern some relational patterns between Him and the prophets type-wise.

I will bet that each human being who contributed to any religious writing was writing to suit his own quadra values, so to speak...
So does socionics exisist because of religion, or the other way around?
I am being serious btw...thats all this thread is going to boil down to IMHO.

Those are safe bets. First up, Moses? What's his type?
We can type the Genesis portrayl of God by appraising His function preferences and IM order.
I highly suspect Moses was ISFj. Highly. It makes sense given the way he berated the Israelites for their lack of character. (in his view) He used popular sentiment over the unequal (if peaceful) relationship between the Israelites and the Egyptians to call for their release, which seems to me -Fe+Si id. He also used the plauges is change the Egyptians' mentality towards Israel. (but wait, that was God, and the Pharos' mind changed for the worst due to those terrible, terrible disharmonies of nature.)
Based on these observations, it would seem to me that God is variously shadow/negative contrary and anima/dual: an archetypal spin on Moses' personality, and the fullness of Moses' relationship to his own psyche. If the Old Testament is to be believed, Moses communicated with these figures and influenced the world around him on a supernatural level. When God had to be ruthless, Moses talked to the Shadow; when God's guidance was needed, he listened to the Wise Old Man; when salvation was needed, God was the Mother.
Almost makes you wonder if he was schizophrenic.
Here's a question: who REALLY wrote the Torah?
That is an extremely fascinating idea.
I can see it now, someday we'll be typing our own individual concepts of God. Then he'll change his (or her) type on us and we'll get all confused and lost. Then we'll change our type. Then we'll realize he (or she) never really changed at all. Then we'll find our dual and call the whole thing off.
Anger may be legitimate. You can get angry legitimately if another person's behaviour is inappropriate, for example.
Moses got angry at golden calf's worshippers. That's legitimate.
Anger itself is no weakness. Wrath is. I'm myself quick to anger, and I don't think all my angry bursts were illegitimate.
I'm not referring on Zhirinovsky's (he's EIE -+0) angry bursts. These are mainly illegitimate.
I'm referring to this kind of anger : one day, I went to a conference on "should we establish a Catholic party ?". A dude who worked as an advocate (LSI --+) said something like "Traditional Catholics are divided even by the way to say 'dominus vobiscum'. BUT HOW THE WAY TO SAY 'DOMINUS VOBISCUM' COULD POSSIBLY MATTER ??!!!!". That was legitimate. (on uppercase, the "angry-passionate" part).
Bad-tempered, yes, but not so much quick to anger. While it may seem that way, there are just as many passages which indicate the reverse. But yes, since God is a very human character (since one cannot ignore God's anthropomorphic qualities), then it does seem that God has flaws. But it is not terribly hard for believers to explain these flaws away.
Numbers 14:18 - The LORD is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.'
God is as much a character in the Tanakh as any other character with a personality, and therefore God is just as capable of being typed as any other. But if it helps you sleep at night, then you can say that you are not typing God (or bringing in the metaphysical theology), but merely the depiction of God as presented in the Old Testament. Do not bring your modern, Western, or Greco-Roman understandings of God to the world of ancient Israel.
No, but it is possible that certain functions are devalued.Besides, a type is a set of strengths and weaknesses. God doesn't have weaknesses. Therefore, He doesn't have a type.

Oh, to find you in dreams - mixing prior, analog, and never-beens... facts slip and turn and change with little lucidity. except the strong, permeating reality of emotion.

Are you talking to me, because I do not recall saying this.
According to the Bible.well didn't God create universe?
And? What about it?and He, as the Bible says, also created human and to reflect Him - like one of them precious and antique Holy icon paintings of Holy people (Oriental Christianity).
I'm not sure what to say about this, really.
