Intercultural Mission Service Readiness Evaluation Questions

Please respond to the following questions honestly, not attempting to guess how a mission organization might want you to respond. Your responses will help us discuss with you whether or not you are ready for mission service as well as the kind of service for which you may be best suited. These questions are not absolutes, and this test cannot be failed or passed. However, it may provide meaningful information. If you are married, your spouse should also take this survey and the results should be evaluated in light of both partners’ responses.
