Gatherer Assessment 2

Welcome to the Gatherer Assessment!

Assessment Directions.  Please work through the assessment at a comfortable pace, answering every question.  Trust your first instinct. Don't spend too much time thinking about your answers. Go with your gut.

Please choose an option from the scale that is most like you.  Your options will be:

1 -- Not at all like me

2 -- Slightly like me

3 -- Moderately like me

4 -- Very much like me

5 -- Extremely like me

The assessment results will be used to begin a conversation about your potential as a Gatherer in the GSE System.

The assessment will take about 10 minutes. After you're done, the tool will prepare a report and that will load onto your screen. We'll also email you a copy of your results.


 

If you have any questions, please email Tony Webb or Jonathan Reitz.

Good luck! We hope you hear Jesus voice calling or confirming your future as you take the assessment!
