Christian deacons (50 Roman Catholic; 50 Methodist) self-reported their personality, religiosity, and leadership attributes, plus social desirability tendencies. There were no significant correlates between social desirability and any of these self-reported variables. Results also found no significant differences across Christian denominations on personality dimensions, religious and spirituality beliefs, or leadership styles. Also, there were no significant differences in self-reported personality, religiosity, or leadership among Catholic male deacons with Methodist female deacons only ( n = 43). Taken together, in the present exploratory study across denomination and gender, Christian deacons view themselves similarly in personality, religiosity, and overall leadership characteristics.
基督教执事（50名罗马天主教徒；50名卫理公会教徒）自行报告了他们的个性、宗教信仰、领导特质以及社会期望倾向。社会期望与这些自行报告的变量之间均无显著相关性。研究结果还发现，不同基督教教派在个性维度、宗教和精神信仰或领导风格方面没有显著差异。此外，仅比较天主教男性执事和卫理公会女性执事（n = 43）时，他们在自行报告的个性、宗教信仰或领导能力方面也没有显著差异。总体而言，在这项跨教派和性别的探索性研究中，基督教执事在个性、宗教信仰和整体领导特征方面对自己的看法相似。
