LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY gloucester)
In light of the feedback I'm getting on my last post, I think I need to adjust a bit. The MBTI thing was interesting, but not the most helpful way to analyze the situation. I'm afraid I didn't help that with my rusty knowledge of it (my claim that I can fool the test may be a couple of years out of date now. :) )
At any rate, the discussion did bring to light the "question behind the question" that I think may be more helpful:
What are the key, most relevant, most important differences between your average dominionist foot-soldier, your average evangelical or conservative, and the "mouthpiece" leaders like James Dobson, Donald Wildmon, etc?
Since I approach from the direction of NLP training, my first thought is to look at personality metrics like the MBTI, and "meta-programs." Others will look to their methods, the complexity of their vision, etc. But the utility is, what is the least change you have to make to a normal Christian leader to make him a dominionist leader?
Adjusting my approach:
