I'm a therapist. I got tired of Bible personality quizzes that were astrology with a verse taped on. So I built the version I wanted. Nine axes, drawn from psychology that actually has names attached to it: Jung's shadow, Adler on striving, Girard on rivalry, Baumeister on threatened ego, Tangney on the difference between shame and guilt. I scored 43 biblical figures on those nine axes, then wrote each one up with citations, scripture and scholarship both. The part that surprised me while building it: the figures people hope to get and the figures they actually get are rarely the same, and the gap between the two is the interesting part. Saul comes up a lot. Nobody wants Saul. It's free, no account. Takes nine minutes. Happy to answer anything about the scoring model, and genuinely want to hear where you think it's wrong.
