I'm performing a study to answer a question and I would greatly appreciate your time and participation. The question is:
Is there a definitive correlation between your personality type and where you place your faith in regards to both religion and politics?
The idea behind this is that certain personality traits (Compassion, being a "thinker", extroverts, etc.) tend to follow a certain group that may or may not be definable by their personality traits as a whole. I'm exploring the possibility that they may actually be defineable in such a way.
I don't know that the data collected will give us the difinitive answer I am looking for, but I want to document trends and tendencies. Maybe, if the margin of error is small enough, I'll discover something interesting.
A few guidelines:
1) "Personality type" is the terminology I use. I will use the Jung/Myers-Briggs test (which rates 4 aspects of personality). Essentially it measure how on perceive's the world and reacts to it. It is based on theory, and is a fair method of determination. The test has has a resulting 16 possible psychological types. The 16 different types are often referred to by an abbreviation of four letters, the initial letters of each of their four type preferences (except in the case of iNtuition).
2) I do not intend for this to be a discussion or debate thread, just for data compilation. That is not to mean I discourage discussion, but, I do encourage cessation until a fair data set has been acquired. I'm hoping for 100+ from tWeb, and I will see about other sources.
Here is the link to the test we will use. It is somewhat lengthy (easy questions though), and has some refer advertising but the site is safe and adware free. Please try to answer as honestly as possible. The more times the test is taken, the more accurate it will be (trending that is) but if you're completely honest the first time, once should do it.

(I have taken the appropriate steps to notify the site master of this study.)
Directions :
1) Take the test. If you already know your type, proceed past this step.
2) Reply to this thread with the personality type results, followed by your current religious preference, your political alignment (not party) and if you would, your reaction to the results. If you're on the fence about either religion or politics, please state such and identify what you tend toward.
This way, everyone has answered the exact same questions with the same possible answers.
Thank you very much for your contribution and time.
I'll start:
I tested ESFP
I am a Christian
I tend toward Conservativism
The test pretty accurately summarized how I perceive and react.
