Jesus, in the gospels, talks about the fact that people are known by their fruit. I came across on someone’s blog (http://mark-bymaswell.blogspot.com) a graphic that looked like:
I liked this so much I clicked on the graphic and got my own which you see above.
Now I am not a big fan of personality tests and I am not convinced I am that extraverted, though I do think I am more extraverted than introverted. Yet this one in describing potential jobs (I have done these) and other aspects does for once describe me.
I don’t propose we all know each other by our personality type test results but these do give ourselves a feel for what is happening internally.
Jesus’ command still resonates though. We are to be known by our fruit, what we reproduce and what we give away.
So how do you know people?

Isn’t the type of person one is affect their fruit? And is there a danger to homogenize one another which in turn detours that fruit?
Cheers.

Nathan,
There is no question in my mind that we will reproduce more like ourselves but those we reproduce will not be clones. Which answers your second point that homogenity is a form of cloning which we are not called to do.
Thanks
