Interesting review of prayer methods as correlated with Keirseyan temperament. Suggestions, ideas, and examination of the Jungian functions from a Christian perspective.
Written by a Roman Catholic priest; I found it very encouraging and quite inspiring, on the whole. Somewhat heavy-going in places, and the author uses similar (and not very intuitive) names for the four main methods he perceives of approaching the Bible and God.
But much to think about, and well worth dipping into.

Prayer and temperament : different prayer forms for different personality types by Chester P. Michael
Not bad, but a bit of an over-reaction to the stranglehold the NTs had in the during most of the Middle Ages, which may be why I didn't rate it higher. I really got the impression they thought NT's had to adopt other temperament prayer styles to maintain a decent spiritual life.
