About the Comprehensive Skill Assessment for Church-Planters
This instrument is designed to do a 360 degree assessment of your strengths and
weaknesses with regard to 16 areas of skill that have been determined to be
important to success in North American church-planting. This is accomplished by
having three individuals in addition to yourself log-in and respond to a series
of yes and no questions based on their observations of your past behaviors and
activities. Their responses are compiled with your own self-evaluation to give
a thorough preliminary assessment of your potential for effectiveness in North
American church-planting.
This assessment is normally paid for by a recruiter, evaluator or supervisor
who will meet with you to interpret the results. After the assessment is
purchased through the use of a credit card, the assessment purchaser will
be given a set of passwords and user ID's that will allow each of your joint
assessors to log-in and complete their portion of your assessment. When your
assessment is complete, the purchaser will be notified that a a report is
available to be downloaded and printed. He or she will then schedule a time
to meet with you personally to review the results and their implications for
your continuing growth and development. Sometimes this meeting is held in
the context of a training class or assessment center.
It is our recommendation that this instrument will be followed up with a face-to-face
interview or assessment experience or personal coaching for remedial growth and
development. It is designed to enhance and augment a face-to-face assessment but
not to replace it.
Our Comprehensive Skill Assessment for Church-planters asks you to answer 80

The candidate will receive a user id and password and
user id's and passwords for each of the 360 degree assessors. When all
have completed their assessment, the purchaser is notified and can access
and print the combined report. The purchaser then will meet with the candidate
