giveness to those who do me wrong"). The vertical Y-axis represents each type's average score for item E035 ("Have you ever experienced a sense of the sacred in everything around you or perceived everything as being spiritually connected together as one?").

The graph shows that for item A090 (X-axis, or forgiveness), the DSC type (blue circle) scored lowest, and the WNL type (pink) scored highest. For item E035 (Y-axis, or connection), the DSC and CMW types (blue and teal) scored lowest, and the WNL type (pink) again scored highest.

The point where the X and Y axes intersect is the midpoint (halfway mark) for each item. Types that score above the midpoint on the Y-axis (item E035) are plotted above the horizontal (X-axis) line, and types that score below the midpoint on the Y-axis are plotted below the horizontal line. Similarly, types that score above the midpoint on the X-axis item (A090) are plotted to the right of the vertical (Y-axis) line, and types that score below the midpoint on the X-axis are plotted to the left of the vertical line. The distance (from lowest to highest) between each type on the graph is based on the average score for the questionnaire item.

A quick glance at the preceding X-Y graph shows four types (WNL, SCT, CSE, and PA) clustered in the upper right quadrant. All four had high scores (above the midpoint) on item E035--meaning all four types agree they had experienced a sense of the sacred in everything around them. Four remaining types (ETV, CC, DSC, and CMW) scored much lower on E035 (below the midpoint) and appear on the bottom half of the graph--meaning they had experienced a sense of the sacred in everything around them far less than the other types.

Six types (WNL, SCT, ETV, CSE, CC, and PA) cluster on the right of the graph midpoint of A090--meaning all six types agree more that they offer forgiveness to those who do them wrong. Two remaining types (CMW and DSC) on the left side of the graph have much lower scores (below the midpoint) on A090--meaning they agree far less than the other six types (that they offer forgiveness to those who do them wrong).

Spiritual Growth and Needs

A vast majority of Americans feel a need for spiritual growth. The bar chart to the left shows the percentage of each type who feel this need. When asked whether their spiritual needs were currently being met, two types (WNL and DSC) showed much less agreement here than the other types. This data is displayed in the pie chart at left.
