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)
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!
