ABSTRACT
The psychological-type profile of Church of England lay people whose main place of worship was a cathedral was compared to that of worshippers whose main place of worship was a parish church. The sample, from two combined surveys of the Church of England employing the Francis Psychological Type Scales, comprised 231 cathedral worshippers and 3,322 parish-church worshippers. Those who worshipped in cathedrals showed a significantly higher preference for thinking over feeling than those from parish churches, but there were no other significant differences in profiles between the two samples.
