Listen to a Preview of The CALL! Audiolink Product available! Are you searching for a better way to meet the needs of your faith-based clients? The CALL™ Vocational and Life Purpose Guide is a world-class career assessment that unveils purpose, spiritual gifts, strengths, and more! The CALL™ was developed in partnership with Focus on the Family and Profiles International and provides SIX assessments in one. These six assessments include:

Motivational Gifts
Thinking Style
Personality and Behavioral Traits
Occupational Interests
Job Fit in Ministry Positions
O*NET Job Fit Matches with Common Occupations

The CALL™ assessment training is an outstanding multipurpose tool that appeals to Christians who want to honor God in their work. What sets The CALL™ apart from standard assessment tools is that it includes the seven “motivational” gifts listed in Romans 12. The seven traits will not only be encouraging for your faith-based clients to identify with, but they have also been found to be just as valid as any other career development model on the market. In addition, The CALL™ has over 200 references to the New Testament which explain the importance of examining, testing, and employing one’s gifts.

Twenty of the scales used in The CALL™ have a reliability of .82 (well above the minimum standard of .70 recommended by the DOL). The twenty scales include:

Five scales on cognitive thinking
Six occupational interest scales
Nine personality scales – derived from the Five-Factor Personality Model

In addition, The CALL™ is linked to the Department of Labor’s O*NET – the most comprehensive resource available today on jobs. O*NET provides listings with 42 pieces of information on most job titles which are further broken down into over 20 industry groupings.

Sample reports are available at www.FollowYourCalling.com. You will also have the opportunity to be listed on the FollowYourCalling.com website.

Looking for an affordable, valid, and reliable TYPE assessment that doesn't require 3-5 days of training away from the office and a thousand-dollar price-tag to learn how to use it?

VALUE, VALUE, VALUE! Compare the cost of this training with other Personality Type certifications, which is normally $1225 for four full days of training plus prework. You'll save nearly a thousand dollars plus not miss being out of your office for a week-long training program!

Critics have long contended that type-oriented approaches to personality are too simplistic and often inaccurate. This tool overcomes those limitations with a report that measures 36 additional Facet Scales. Not only can you see Jungian 4-letter personality type, but also the subtle facets, which make up that personality type.

Using Jung's Type Theory as a foundation, the Golden Personality Type Profiler unites Psychological Type, Temperament, Trait, and the empirically supported factor models of personality and generates one comprehensive survey and feedback report.

This online profile asks individuals to respond to 125 behavior-oriented questions, such as how one reacts to various situations. The online survey is very user-friendly and can be completed in about 15 minutes.

Unlike other personality assessments, this profiler is unique in that it:

Is geared toward identifying behaviors

Examines both work and leisure situations

Includes thirty-six Facet Scales within the four Global Scales, allowing individual personalities to emerge

Has an additional Global Scale with two additional Facet Scales, measuring responses to daily stressors

The Golden Personality Type Profiler is available exclusively through Pearson (formerly Harcourt) Assessment. View a sample of the Golden Personality Type Profiler. Your cost to purchase future assessments is only $20.50

The Golden Personality Type Profiler training is geared for career professionals, coaches and counselors.
