@ilona, my sense is that emotional intelligence is a whole different category than Myers-Briggs, which is more about personalities and styles. The way I think of it, and it's just a guess, a person can have any personality profile, and be immature (or mature).

I am putting the breakfast together and really sense this is going to be a God-thing. Pieces keep felling into place for it that I hadn't even planned on. Last minute, mid-December, and we have 40 people coming, some driving (like yourself) quite some ways!

Anyway, another parallel we are sharing is that I noticed you mentioned my Emotionally Healthy Spirituality teaching series in one of your blog posts on the emotional maturity topic.

On top of that, I actually work with Pete Scazzero and the EHS network that is growing out of this book. I serve as a volunteer Ministry Representative for EHS and Coordinator for our newly released EHS Church-wide Initiative.

This Fall, 13 churches across the US and Canada piloted the series with their congregations. Another 12 or so are lied up for the Winter. And, the series you referenced on our church website is actually from 2005. We are just now also finishing up our EHS Church-wide Initiative, meaning the newer messages are on our website as well.

I don't want to sound “sales-y” because in truth, sales is not our thing with EHS. We are doing what we are because we believe deeply in the need and viability of Scazzero's EHS message. In my opinion, words can't express the need there is for all Christians to integrate their emotional maturity with their spiritual health. We have separated them too long, and in some ways have completely denied the need for discipleship in our emotions.

Anyway, already too long for a blog comment …. looking forward to meeting you Tuesday!!
