About this instrument.

Christian character is not what you believe about yourself. It is what you actually do when fidelity costs you something, when hope is the harder choice, and when someone else’s good asks more of you than you planned to give. This assessment asks about your patterns, not your convictions, and gives you a three-part reading on where you currently stand: your fidelity, your capacity for renewal, and how your life flavors the people around you.
