    Default God

    This is not the real thing, necessarily. Sure God is more than a personality type, but let's not disclude it from argument all too easily. Try to build a convincing argument as to why God is the type you picked. Explain your point through references like the Bible or other general teachings.

    I'll start it off by suggesting that he's an Alpha. Most everything I know about him suggests "judicious" and "merry."

    This has been discussed before, and there are two main schools of thought: One is that god is LII, the other is that god is ILI. You can read the entire thread here.

    Personally I think that a being that supposedly created existence with nothing to base their ideas off of would be rather -ish, and that the frequent defining of god through the use of aphorisms may point at a dynamic nature, probably , so I am all for ILI. I think an valuing type would have created multiple universes and realities to test and play with all sorts of unimaginable things, but I have never heard an account of god doing this. What points to an Ip temperament is many accounts of god being unhappy with this reality and flooding the earth - instead of bothering to go through the appropriate paperwork, peer review and waiting period required to build another reality, god basically just said 'fuck it' and decided to see how this one panned out instead, probably thinking that if it was watered, it might grow into something better, as if Earth was a plant or something.

    God is LSI. Laying down all those strict rules, jealous, demanding unwavering faith...
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    That's the current thought about the universe. Well, the thought of science people who are generali hmmm.

    btw I think ILI too. Although I would have personally not build people as dumb as they are now. But then again, I am smarter than god.

    A guy came to me one time, and asked me if I wanted to play Jesus in a Passion play. His wife saw me, and then told him "that's the guy that could play Jesus" . I also have a friend that calls me Jesus because I had beard one time. I guess I VI like Jesus paintings somehow, but it's big leap to say Jesus is INFj. Obviously, I know you were joking, but it's iffy to type a deity.

    Which allmighty type would come up with the idea to create a universe.

    Probably some NT nerd. Also I think Alpha.

    Pick a book in the Bible or look across different authors and sources for the materials, and you will get quite different pictures. The most consistent image in the collage, however, is that of an LSI. YHWH is one who establishes the created order of the cosmos, and despite being slow to anger, and abounding in patience and steadfast love, God is comfortable at exercising displays of force as appropriate (no matter how excessive they may appear to be). Love is expressed as respectful devotion to this cosmic order present in creation, God's covenants, and the Torah. YHWH also acts as the righteous judge. Despite an insistence that there is a difference between OT and NT God, the depiction is actually fairly consistent when you look at what is being expressed. This assessment is based upon a literary analysis of God the character, and not on personal feelings or theology, or any personal religious experience or the lackthereof.

    I've read that, according to some psychological theory, we ascribe to God the same personality traits our father has.
    ILE "Searcher"
    Socionics: ENTp
    DCNH: Dominant --> perhaps Normalizing
    Enneagram: 7w6 "Enthusiast"
    MBTI: ENTJ "Field Marshall" or ENTP "Inventor"
    Astrological sign: Aquarius

    LOL .. I used to think that too, but now i believe they are at least mirror LSI-SLE if not identical. Remember the winner writes the rules and they're the ones the rest of us live by etc. The reason that the devil had made himself so different is his need to carve out an identity for himself independent from that of God ....... "better to reign i hell than to serve in heaven"

    Now Jesus INFJ could well be a conflictor in terms of expressed principles and actions.

    Actually, in the culture of the time, to refer to yourself in such a way would be to say you have similar properties. e.g. Jesus referred to James and John as "the sons of Thunder", because of their stormy temperaments, even though their actual father was recorded as Zebedee.

    Similarly, when Jesus referred to himself as the Son of Man, the Son of God etc., he was asserting that he had those properties.

    Note that when Thomas was recorded as recognising Jesus as "My Lord and my God!”, he did not rebuke him for it (rather the opposite).

    Jesus in the New Testament was rather clear that he was one and the same as the god who committed the atrocities of the Old Testament, and he also advocated eternal damnation as a punishment. I cannot think of doctrines that are more abominable: "Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned".

    Must be something about right hand, a particular meaning. My husbands dear little granddaughter is a leftie, and she met her first other Leftie when my LSE brother was just here visiting, and he was drawing for her, and she noticed (she is smart), and she was so excited that they were both lefties! You'd have thunk she just won a prize!

    My brother, like my Dad did, always writes with a "hook", and,as I am teaching her to write, I am trying to avoid her having a "hook", without emphasizing it. I have her turn her paper to a right-side slant, so she can see what she just wrote, which they say is why lefties "hook" rather than the left-side slant that us righties use (perhaps hooks happen when teachers asked everyone to slant their paper the same way in writing lessons) . Its working so far...

    Which type is most likely to get themselves killed by going against the grain of society in a drifted philosophical rant about what's not being done right... ISTp...that's Jesus. So God is either his benefit or dual

    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

    Sitting on the right side... I thought that was symbolism. Apparently people take it concretely. I remember answering this in a test at school and got points out of that "joke".

    Another weird thing is that many people tend to see god as a person. It sounds just silly taking into account its properties. Maybe this is my Fi PoLR. But really "almighty" god as a human like character. WHY? I thought the concept of god as something less concrete because if that apparently imaginary stuff (=god and this is not saying that I took atheistic stance) that can materialize itself to whatever and therefore can not have absolute initial and preferred form. I admit that I'm taking huge leaps.

    Maybe universe at the beginning was god with random capabilities and could separate part of itself to follow natural laws as non-god-like parts. It follows that maybe there is minimal amount of god that can not separate itself to rest of the universe and take it back part by part or it can made itself into non existent where there is no god.
    This is crazy stuff

    I remember the Christas Eve when I found out there was no Santa Claus. My Mom asked my Dad if "we should put the Santa presents out now, or later?"

    I cried and cried with disillusionment and my Mom heard me. After comforting me and the swell of relief that comes with tears, we both agreed we should keep the dream of Santa alive for my little brothers.

    We live in a polytheistic universe with 16 different gods or none exist at all.
    Important to note! People who share "indentical" socionics TIMs won't necessarily appear to be very similar, since they have have different backgrounds, experiences, capabilities, genetics, as well as different types in other typological systems (enneagram, instinctual variants, etc.) all of which also have a sway on compatibility and identification. Thus, Socionics type "identicals" won't necessarily be identical i.e. highly similar to each other, and not all people of "dual" types will seem interesting, attractive and appealing to each other.

    “You can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out God hates all the same people you do.”

    “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

    Seriously, LSE might break the rules but no LSE wants to get themselves killed. Let's see ESE would want to drink wine an make love to their favorite gal/guy. LSI would want to inspect the money books; EII would volunteer at the synagogue giving tours; an ESI would make a family and attend religious service like a matriarch Ruth? idk I'll think about it; I just don't see any type other than ISTp for Jesus. ENFj no because he didn't have a wide range of emotions. Jesus was almost never anything but serious. Dear serious.


    God is INTj the ultimate pessimist thoughtful and analytical and often hasty
    or ISFj ? hum gotta think about this.

    Enneagram 2w1sw(1w9) helps others to live up to their own standards of what a good person is and is very behind the scenes in the process.

    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
