Personality assessments can be incredibly valuable for self-discovery, but not all assessments are created equal — especially when it comes to Christian groups, churches, and ministries.
Many faith-based personality tests focus only on the individual, offering little guidance on how different personalities interact or how to grow in community. Some are too corporate, designed more for office environments than church settings. Others pigeonhole people into fixed categories, limiting their ability to understand and grow beyond their perceived personality type.
This is why the Christian DISC® stands apart. It is specifically designed for churches, Christian groups, deeply informed by biblical teachings on sanctification, and focused on improving relationships and fostering unity in the Body of Christ.
Here’s how it compares to other faith-based personality assessments.
1. Christian DISC® – The Best for Spiritual Growth & Relationship Building
The Christian DISC® is the most biblically grounded personality assessment, helping people understand themselves and others through the lens of faith. It is designed to strengthen churches, small groups, ministries, and Christian teams by providing a clear, simple, and actionable framework for understanding personality and fostering deeper, Christ-centered relationships.
Why It’s #1:
✅ Perfect for Groups – Helps individuals understand how their personality interacts with others, strengthening teams, small groups, and ministries.
✅ Biblically Rooted – Built on the doctrine of sanctification, showing how personality can grow and develop over time.
✅ Relational & Practical – Provides guidance and group resources on improving relationships, not just self-awareness.
✅ Easy to Understand – With just four types, it is simple, memorable, and accessible to everyone.
✅ Encourages Growth – Unlike assessments that pigeonhole people into fixed categories, the Christian DISC® emphasizes personal and spiritual transformation.
Designed for Christian Groups and Ministries
Unlike many personality assessments, which focus solely on self-discovery, the Christian DISC® is relational at its core. It is designed to help people:
✔ Understand themselves and their natural tendencies
✔ Learn about other personality types (not just their own)
✔ Develop practical skills to communicate, collaborate, and build stronger relationships
🔹 The Christian DISC® isn’t just about self-knowledge—it’s about loving others better and growing together and becoming more like Christ.
2. Biblical DISC® – Great for Large Corporations, But Not for Churches
The Biblical DISC® applies the standard DISC model to biblical characters, making it a reasonable tool for Christian corporate environments. However, it feels more like a business-focused leadership assessment than a resource designed for church communities, pastors, or everyday believers.
Why It Falls Short for Churches & Ministries:
❌ Better for Large Christian Organizations – Works well in corporate settings but doesn’t foster the kind of relational and spiritual growth that church groups need.
❌ Corporate Feel – The text-heavy reports are dense and structured like workplace assessments, making them less engaging for small groups and church leaders.
❌ Limited Spiritual Depth – While it references biblical figures, it doesn’t meaningfully engage with theological concepts like sanctification or transformation in Christ.
Best for: Leadership training in large corporations and organizations
Not ideal for: Churches, pastors, laity, or ministries focused on discipleship and spiritual formation
By contrast, the Christian DISC® is intentionally designed for churches, pastors, and laypeople, integrating theological depth with personal spiritual application. It’s about more than just personality — it’s about spiritual growth, relationships, and becoming more Christlike together.
3. The Christian Enneagram – Pigeonholes People & Lacks Biblical Roots
The Christian Enneagram adapts the Enneagram system for faith-based reflection, but it has major flaws when it comes to Christian growth.
Why It Falls Short:
❌ Pigeonholes People – Users often hyper-focus on their “type” and fail to learn about others or see their potential for growth.
❌ Not Group-Oriented – The system is complex, and many people only engage with their own type, limiting its value for Christian community-building.
❌ Unclear Biblical Foundations – The Enneagram’s origins have a mystical background that may raise concerns with some Christian groups.
While some Christians find it useful for self-reflection, and some Christian groups may find it helpful, its complexity can be tedious or daunting and doesn't have the approachability of the Christian DISC®.
Best for: Individual self-reflection
Not ideal for: Groups, teams, or relationship-building
4. The Christian MBTI – A Secular Framework with Limited Group Use
The Christian MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) applies the MBTI system to Christian themes, but it remains primarily a psychological tool rather than a biblically grounded one.
Why It Falls Short:
❌ More Secular than Christian – The MBTI is based on Jungian psychology, not biblical principles.
❌ Doesn’t Emphasize Growth – It categorizes people into 16 different but fixed “types” rather than encouraging personal and spiritual transformation.
❌ Not Practical for Groups – The system is too complicated for team or ministry use, making it hard for groups to apply in a meaningful way.
Best for: Individual self-awareness
Not ideal for: Churches, small groups, or relational development
Conclusion: Why the Christian DISC® Stands Above the Rest
While each of these assessments has strengths, the Christian DISC® is the only faith-based personality assessment that is:
✔ Biblically rooted in pastoral theology, sanctification, and spiritual growth
✔ Designed for Christian groups, churches, and ministries
✔ Easy to understand, remember, and apply in real life
✔ Focused on relationships, unity, and transformation
If you want a faith-based personality assessment that will help you grow in Christ, improve your relationships, and strengthen your church or ministry, the Christian DISC® is the clear choice.
