Christian DISC Assessment
The Christian DISC® is a spiritual personality assessment that categorizes personality into four types, and integrates insight from scripture and emotional intelligence. The model behind the Christian DISC® is ideal for individuals, couples, and groups and is specifically designed for use in faith-based counseling, coaching, and ministry.
We have worked with various personality tests here at Church Consultant in our efforts to help church staff learn and grow together into a more cohesive unit. We believe the main drawback of the other personality tests available is that their results include so many different possibilities, making it more difficult to grasp how different personality types work and blend together. What we love about the Christian DISC is that there are only four possible outcomes. This makes working with the results much more practical for all involved. (We include a cross-reference to the Myers-Briggs for comparison because so many people are aware of their MBTI personality types.)
