APEST

The APEST test is the only online, professionally designed and researched, profiling instrument designed to assist you to find your ministry style in relation to the fivefold ministry of Ephesians 4Open Link in New Window (Apostolic, Prophetic, Evangelistic, Shepherding, Teaching.)

Ministry vocation is a mixture of personal identity, God’s calling, the Spirit’s gifting, and community discernment. We only really know ourselves and our ministry impact in relation to others. So we believe that the best way to know your ministry is to somehow assess its impact on people around about you. So while you can easily do the individual profile, we really recommend that you consider doing the 360 degree test as well. This is a great tool for communities and leadership teams as a whole as it will allow you to ensure that you have a more complete ministry mix necessary to be missional church.

INDIVIDUAL APEST PROFILE: $10.00
To take the individual test go HERE register as a new user, and when finished with Paypal, make sure you click the return to webpage button to take the test. The test should take only about 10–15 minutes and you will be asked to move through it quickly so as to get your most intuitive responses.

360 DEGREE APEST PROFILE: $25.00
To undergo the 360 degree test, go HERE. You will be required to nominate as many people as you want (we suggest between 5 to 10 respondants). These should be people who work/minister with you in some way and know you. You will also need their email addresses for us to send them the questionnaire. You might wish to notify them that you are taking the test and that you want them to prayerfully fill it out with you and your ministry in mind. They have to register as a “new user” and click on your name when they access the site. You will also be required to fill out a test on your own behalf–so be sure to take the test yourself. In the results profile you will get two sets of scores: your individual score and the 360 degree score aggregated from your friend’s and/or colleague’s feedback. You can therefore compare your self-perception with the community’s experience of your ministry.

Please note: While you will get an individual score by taking the test, the 360 degree survey will focus on profiling your colleague’s input and not yours–so much of the descriptors that come along with the profile will be tailored around the 360 input. If you want a profile that is more focussed on your personal profile, then you will need to take both tests separately. Furthermore, please allow for 10-15 minutes time for each member to take of the 360º profile

GROUP TESTS
We have now developed the possibility of whole groups making a booking to take a team through the test/s on one payment. This will also apply to people doing consultancies with either myself of Brian Schubring (my partner and the psycographcs expert behind the test.) If you are interested in taking a group through a 360 degree and/or individual profile and would like to make a booking, contact Brian on Schubring (at) mac (dot) com and he will set it up for you.

People who are to take part in a group survey will automatically receive an email with a link they can click on to complete their registration. If you believe you have not received such an email and you should have, please click here and this lookup tool will allow you to recover that link.
