For twenty-two years, and for every day of those years, our personality assessment has out performed our spiritual gifts test 2 to 1. Why? Through interviews, people responded consistently… “Spiritual Gifts don’t mean much when I don’t yet understand why God made me as He did”.

Unlock Divine Purpose: How Personality Shapes Your Ministry Mobilization
Curious about unlocking the divine purpose behind each person’s unique personality in your church community? Discover the power of the ePersonality© assessment—a tool designed specifically for Christians to help identify how God has uniquely wired each individual for service. With its four-quadrant model, the assessment creates 16 temperament types, providing insights into how people relate, process information, make decisions, and interact with the world around them. This makes it easier for church leaders to match volunteers with roles that resonate with their God-given design, fostering happier, more motivated service.
Revolutionize Church Mobilization with Personality Insights
Understanding these temperament types isn’t just helpful—it’s transformational! It allows leaders to support volunteers in ways that truly meet their needs, whether emotionally, resource-wise, or staffing-related. Want to learn more about how this innovative tool can revolutionize your ministry? Please read on….
To support this purpose, the ePersonality© report includes the following information…
- A ministry-relevant title
- Profile bulleted highlights
- A description of who God made you to be
- What you can contribute to the ministry
- And, how leadership can best support you
What You Have to Give May Not Be What Others Need to Receive
The last point, about how leaders can best support you, is very important for helping people get involved in ministry. Why? Because after many years of working with churches, we’ve learned that different people need different kinds of support. What works for you might not work for someone else—whether they need encouragement, supplies, help from others, or something else.
Now, let’s look at how the assessment is set up and how it gives us helpful and valuable information.
The Personality Assessment’s Four Oppositional Statements
Our questions assess temperament based upon how one scores through four distinct categories of oppositional statements…
- How I Relate to People…Independent or Social?
- How I Process Information…Concrete or Abstract?
- How I Process Decisions…Head or Heart?
- How I Relate to the World Around Me… Systematic or Adaptive?
Can A Personality Flex? Understanding FLEX Profiles
These four opposite pairs create sixteen different reports. We’ll look at those reports in a moment. But first, it’s important to know that the ePersonality© test includes something called FLEX PROFILES. A FLEX PROFILE happens when someone’s score is close to the middle—less than 20 points away. In the picture above, the test would have created two FLEX PROFILES—one for the “Independent” group and one for the “Head” group.
If someone has more than two FLEX PROFILES, it might be a warning sign. (This is explained more in the book Made for a Mission.)
Important: Some of the data in the candidate’s main report will be accurate, and some of the data in the Flex Profile may be accurate. The only way to know which parts are correct is by talking to the person in a one-on-one interview. That’s why we don’t let church staff see these reports right away. We want to make sure no one is placed in ministry based on the wrong information.
We suggest asking the person to print their FLEX REPORTS and bring them to their interview with the church staff.

Select the titles below to view samples of each one of our sixteen reports. Of particular importance, beyond reading the actual report, is to take note of how the four oppositional categories are scored within the report’s bar graph.
The ePersonality© Administrative Report Samples
The ePersonality Personality Analysis report displays the unique blend of personalities that comprise your church. This unique blend is commonly called, “Organizational Personality“. Your Organizational Personality has a direct impact upon the types of people your church attracts, as well as affecting the nature of your church’s volunteer management and mobilization of people into ministry service.
The Table Report below displays the quantity of people assessed with each temperament type. Selecting the number within this table will display for the system administrator the specific people assessed with the temperament type selected.
