Assessments

Self-assessment is a process by which you learn more about yourself – what you like, what interests you, and how you tend to react to certain situations. Knowing these things can help you identify career direction and determine what occupations might fit you better than others. The assessments listed below are frequently used in our office as an initial step in the career planning process. We recommend scheduling an appointment with a counselor to help interpret your assessment results.

Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
Place Assessment


Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Briggs, developed a model of personality development around the ideas and theories of psychologist Carl Jung, a contemporary of Sigmund Freud and a leading exponent of Gestalt personality theory.

According to Jung-Myers-Briggs typology, all people can be classified using four criteria:

Extroversion – Introversion                        Sensing – Intuition
Thinking – Feeling                                      Judging – Perceiving

Different combinations of the criteria determine a type (there are 16 possible types). Visit our office to take the MBTI and obtain your type formula, strength of the preferences and type description. This may help you to identify your general life style and your style in certain fields of activity.

PLACE ASSESSMENT

What is PLACE?

PLACE is an intentional process to connect church members into purpose-driven ministry including self-discovery, individualized ministry coaching and tracking from workshop to ministry placement. Through the PLACE process, people discover that God has created and gifted them with a unique capacity to serve others.

• The P = Personality Discovery
• The L = Learning Spiritual Gifts
• The A = Abilities Awareness
• The C = Connecting Passion with Ministry
• The E = Experiences of Life

Why is it Important?

Today more than any other time in history, people have more choices as to how to give their time. They find themselves asking, "Where do I fit in?" "Why am I here?" and "What can I do to make a lasting difference in my life and the lives of others?"

God created each of us for a purpose. "For we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10. Part of his purpose for us is to edify the church and to serve in its ministries. "...to prepare God's people for the works of service, so that the Body of Christ may be built up." Ephesians 4:12. The PLACE process can help you discover how God has uniquely designed you, and it will help you realize His purpose for your life. You find your life as you give it away...but first you have to know what you have to give!
