BEGIN →The Method
I
We believe that spiritual depth and scientific psychology can work beautifully together. Since both perspectives explore the same human mind, we can use tools from both faith and science to better understand who we are.
II
Our assessment is built on the work of respected thinkers. We draw on the insights of Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, René Girard, Roy Baumeister, Timothy Leary, and June Tangney to make sure your results are grounded in real research.
III
We do not try to label or diagnose anyone. Instead, we want to help you understand your natural strengths and the areas where you might face challenges, giving you friendly insights that you can apply to your own life.

On Method · On Caution
This assessment is a tool for self-discovery rather than a strict classification. Instead of labeling you, it helps you see how your thoughts and behavior tend to align with the stories of biblical figures, offering a helpful way to understand your own tendencies.
We base our assessment on established psychological concepts. Your results are informed by the work of Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, and René Girard, along with research on self-esteem by Roy Baumeister, social relationships by Timothy Leary, and shame by June Tangney. We believe in being transparent, so every major concept we use is backed by published research.
It is a bit of both! We treat the biblical texts with respect as spiritual stories, and we treat psychology as a useful science. By combining these two approaches, we hope to offer you a deeper, more thoughtful look at your personality without having to choose one over the other.
It will show you which biblical figure's story and personality style most closely match your own responses. The goal is to give you an honest look at your strengths and potential blind spots, which can sometimes be a little surprising, but is ultimately meant to help you grow.
