What Is the ePersonality? The ePersonality (personality test) is a 4-quadrant assessment tool which divides the spectrum of Christ Followers into 16 Ministry Temperaments. The exclusive objective of the ePersonality assessment is to identify how God wired each person for ministry service. An individual's Ministry Temperament is their unique ministry style, defined by their personality. God knew the "good works" that He prepared in advance for us (Ephesians 2:10), and so he equipped us with everything good for doing His will (Hebrews 13:20,21)...this includes our personality-inspired Ministry Temperament.
Report Structure: Each ePersonality report contains:
- A descriptive title that is relevant to ministry
- Ministry service highlights
- Who God made the candidate to be
- What the candidate can contribute to the local church ministry
- An explanation of how leadership may help ensure the candidate's ministry success
To view all the assessment reports, please locate the links in the lower left sidebar.

Flex Profiles: The ePersonality assessment also supports "Flex Profiles". A Flex Profile occurs when an individual scores 60% or less within one or more assessment quadrants. In such cases, the candidate will receive a notice in red text within their assessment profile that flex profiles exists, along with a drop-down menu listing their Flex Profile reports. The reports may be viewed or printed at any time. Flex reports are not tracked in the Candidate Search Engine, nor within the Candidate's Profile. A Flex report exists for the candidate's benefit, to provide him/herwith additional insights into their ministry temperament. Ministry leaders should be aware that when viewing a Candidate Profile, if a 60/40 score exists within any of the four quadrants, a Flex Profile will be generated. Ministry leaders should review Flex Profile results with ministry candidates before mobilizing them into ministry service.
