My friend Sperwer leads me to this humorous look at prayers for different Myers-Briggs personality types. Those familiar with the Myer-Briggs test will know that there are sixteen different types—each type described by a cluster of four letters—that fall under four major temperaments: Apollonian (NF), Dionysian (SP), Epimethean (SJ), and Promethean (NT). I'm an INTJ off the scale; the NT temperament (Promethean) is professorial, pedantic, detail-oriented, and given to a fascination with abstractions, sometimes to the exclusion of any consideration of the human factor in working and loving relationships. On the other hand, INTJs make faithful, principled life-companions, so keep that in mind, ladies. Dr. House might be an asshole, but if you find your way into his heart, he'll defend you to the death.
As for the INTJ prayer listed at the above link, it goes:
Lord, keep me open to others' ideas, WRONG though they may be.
I added the vocative comma after "Lord" in the above quote because, anal-retentive as I am, I couldn't help myself.

Lord, help me be less picky, less rude, and more patient - but first, help this illiterate ENTJ idiot learn how to spell the simple word "what"!
"ENTJ: Lord, help me slow downandnotrushthroughwatIdo."
