It examines and assesses the compatibility of its assumptions with a theory of personhood derived from a Reformed perspective. It then suggests why it has made such an impact among Christian counsellors, what its popularity means to the church, and makes recommendations to practitioners. It is not intended to be a formal psychological assessment.enPractical theologyBiblical hermeneuticPersonality typeSelfhoodAssumptions of MBTI®ArticleFaculty of Theology, University of the Free State
