MBTI Types in the Bible

Last week, I started a student leadership class for the youth. We started by talking about what would take place, then I gave them a Spiritual gifts tests and a Myers-Briggs test.

I don't think that either of these are hard and fast, but I though that it would be good to take a look at their assesments of themselves. I know that there are some that believe that these types of tests are "evil" and I'd rather not get into that discussion since their are pleanty of sites that look at that.

What I did take an interest in is trying to compile a list of types of the main people in the Bible. Comments are very welcome and I hope to add to the list. I'd love to collect all the disciples. Perhaps I'll eventually break it out as it's own page.

Simon peter is a type of the church and for many reasons;such as when Jesus appeared to the disciples Peter was naked,even so, how many christians will be watching for his coming?
Matthew is a type of a jew in his love of and care of money and ect.
Thomas is the type of christian who will have to see to believe, so to speak.
James I believe was Peter's brother who brought Peter to Jesus,so he could be a picture of the brother of the church.Im really not sure about alot but I would like to know who or what Ammon,KING DAVID'S son is a type or picture of. can you help me?
