| Abstract: | Building on earlier research concerned with connections between prayer preferences and psychological type or temperament, the present study focused specifically on prayer preferences associated with the orientations (extraversion and introversion) and the attitudes (judging and perceiving). Drawing on data provided by 207 Anglican and Methodist ministry training candidates this study proposed and tested the Durham Indices of Prayer Preferences (DIPPs), comprising four eight-item scales of extraversion prayer preference, introversion prayer preference, judging prayer preference, and perceiving prayer preference. Each scale demonstrated good properties of internal consistency reliability and construct validity tested against the psychological type preferences of the participants as assessed by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
