Missionary Candidates

This 2-day process evaluates the ability and skillset that is fundamental to effective cross-cultural communications and interactions.  We test emotional resilience, flexibility and openness, perceptual acuity and personal autonomy through our Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory.  We also use the MBTI and MMPI-2 and NEO which measure the stress/coping responses; identifies mental health issues, and measures five broad domains or dimensions of personality.  We do one report with three sections:  1) Focuses on the missionary, 2) Focuses on the spouse and 3) focuses on both the missionary and spouse.  The interviews are done in the same technique.  We interview the missionary alone, then the spouse alone and finally the missionary and spouse together.

 

All these materials should be completed by the missionary candidate.
