Religious Orientation and COMPILER Personality Types

Beyond the broad Religiosity split

The examples below compare each type only with other types on the same higher/lower Religiosity pole. This holds that binary pole constant, but does not fully adjust for continuous faith scores, demographics or the other dimensions.

These examples require at least 25 mentions in a type of at least 300 profiles, in addition to the common screening rules. They are examples with larger cells, not a claim of independent replication.

Only the previously approved 27 merged label groups are included in the comparison cohort. Differences involving Religiosity are partly definitional, not independent confirmation of the system. Other dimensions and demographics may still explain differences; these comparisons are not adjusted for them.

Reading the eight letters

COMPILER uses the original proposed pole names below. These are provisional shorthand for broader dimensions, not clean logical opposites, abilities, diagnoses or judgments of worth.

In particular, Autonomy does not mean an inability to care; Frugality is broader shorthand here than thrift alone; Leadership includes control/confrontation preferences rather than demonstrated skill.

What the comparison can establish

The catalog contains 27 entries. Distinctive rankings require at least 70 usable profiles in a type, 200 mentions overall, 10 in the type, 50 outside it, and at least three in each deterministic half. Listing-rate lift must be at least 1.25, the absolute gap at least 0.25 percentage points, and the direction positive in both halves.

Lift compares the selected type with everyone outside it in the same usable category cohort. Lists can contain fewer than twenty entries. The split-half rule screens consistency; it is not external validation or a multiple-testing guarantee. Larger ratios based on ten or twelve mentions remain uncertain.

The comparison cohort contains only records assigned to a previously approved label group. Blank, unreviewed and unmatched labels do not enter its denominator. No new fuzzy religious or political merges were introduced.

The factor model combines 35 original trait scores. Each of its eight global cutoffs splits 253,717 eligible historical profiles into 126,859 higher and 126,858 lower scores. Marginal balance does not guarantee equal-sized combinations. The source spans 2008–2011; it is not a representative sample of current tastes or the general population.
