Yeah?; well try and change the mind of a Mormon or evangelical Christian sometime-lol. Actually, interesting point. I don't know many Mormons so I can't speak to that one. But I know more than a few envangelicals who have become so or left the cult. But that actually doesn't go the point I'm making. A belief structure is different from a personality. My guess is you can find a fairly wide distribution of personalities inside and outside evangelical groups. Perhaps the distribution is constrained slightly by the belief structure--a few more of one type or another. But I would not be surprised to discover the types were fairly well represented outside and inside, even as crude a set of categories as these are. My point, however, is that "changing" someone's mind is different from their personality changing.
