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.
A review with Randy on the results of your "The CALL" assessment is available at an additional fee.

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
