The Francis Psychological Type and Emotional Temperament Scales (FPTETS) were developed from the Francis Psychological Type Scales to operationalise both the four components of psychological type theory and a component related to emotional temperament. Several studies of the parent and extended scales have suggested that, although the factor structure is generally robust, a few items consistently fail to correlate closely with their intended component. This study revises the FPTETS by testing 13 new items alongside the old in a sample of 4,370 Anglicans in England who took part in the Coronavirus, Church & You survey. Seven items were replaced across the five components and the revised scale had an improved factor structure. Comparing psychological-type profiles derived from the original and revised instruments in four sub samples of the dataset showed that the revision had not affected the categorisations needed to produce the sixteen-fold typology.
