What Does The Ministry Match Measure?

The Ministry Match measures seven major constructs that are vital to effective ministry. These are:

  1)

Temperament (sometimes called personality) - Sixteen independent elements are measured and normed.

  2) Motivated Role - This construct measures five elements to discover what part of the development process a person is most motivated toward.
  3) Leadership Style (sometimes called impact style) - This construct is similar to the DISC and assesses how individuals usually impact others.
  4) Participation Style - This unique construct measures how persons will interact as members of a decision-making group.
  5) Functional Spiritual Gifts - Spiritual gifts are included and many are unbundled for greater specificity. For example, "teaching" is unbundled as preaching, teaching, discipling/mentoring, and interpersonal communication.
  6) Ministry Values - This construct allows the participant to prioritize his/her ministry values from strong values to anti-values.
  7) Age Group - This construct allows especially lay leaders in churches to designate what age group(s) they minister to with the most fruit and fulfillment.
