My teacher used to say that whenever he read Scripture, he would always ask the question, "What does this have to say about the character of God?"  Working off his thinking, as I read Scripture, I have come to ask, "What does this have to say about the heart and passion of God's desire for relationship for us?

Pretty middle of the road. I thought the test was invalidated by several questions that had to be answered with “well, it depends on…” where the options I had to choose between weren’t by definition exclusive. For example, “I would rather be alone with God, contemplating who he is, than participating in a formal liturgy or being distracted by a walk outside.” Well, I’d actually rather contemplate who he is while taking a beautiful walk outside. Why either or? Seemed a bit simplistic.

Fess up Selah. What’s your score you ENFJ you.

I must have done something wrong!

Yeah, I'm an intellectual caregiving activist.  I'm just not very enthusiastic about it.  It's a cool quiz.
