: God
: The Old Testament story of Cain and Abel shows us a cruel God. Cain has made a mistake in doing his offer to God, but there is no feedback; God doesn’t allow Cain to learn to do it the right way. So Cain gets very angry, and rightfully so. Also Cain – apparently an anti socially inclined character – has never been told that its illegal to kill someone, and shamelessly tells God; ‘Am I the guardian of my brother? ‘ and starts negotiating a deal with God, who wants to punish Cain severely. The question God asks Cain; ‘Where is your brother, Abel’ also has a highly sadistic tinge; God knew what had happened and now he seems to enjoy seeing Cain getting into problems by his own lies. God made people having bad inclinations and then lets them degenerate and get themselves into problems….
: Classification of God (Old Testament writings): he seems to be a mix of Agressive, Leisurely and Vigilant Style traits. What would be his likely MBTI code type?? ESTJ?

***One concept of God is the mean old man. This concept is very primitive and outdated. It is rather an old testament viewpoint.
An unhealthy ESTJ one man.
On a similar note, according to riso the mean, cruel, condemning, judgemental old father archetype is the symbol of type ones core fear.
