This test is for people who see and express themselves as Christians. It measures beliefs and habits the Bible calls fruits of the spirit and fruits of the flesh. Think for a moment about a painful problem in your life, past or present, perhaps a confusing habit, situation, or a relationship that has felt like a whirlpool, sucking the life out of you. The purpose of this test is to fulfill the calling of Romans 12: 1–2, by transforming that whirlpool and you yourself into a wellspring that pours out the life of God as fresh spiritual fruit to bless you and the world around you.

The CASm is based on the Bible’s 3000-year-old model for discerning good from bad choices. It measures how well you deal with 9 issues -- the HEALTH, PEACE, LOVE, HONOR, PURPOSE, GRACE, LOVEMAKING, WEALTH, and TRUTH which life brings to you. Within a minute or two of pressing the SUBMIT button at the end of your test, you will receive your feedback emailed to whatever email address you give here for where you want it sent.

This test will take about 15 minutes to complete, and it comes in two parts. The first is 72 “modified true-false” questions. Scores for individual answers will not be given, just the totals for groups of items that measure the same thing. The computer does not look at individual answers, but it will require you to answer every question, because your scores will be more accurate that way.

Some of the test items will seem to presume you are married or employed. If you don’t have a mate, spouse, job, or an income, then answer the question to describe how you think you would be later on if you did have a mate, spouse, job, or income.

The second and much shorter part of the test asks 9 brief, non-identifying questions about your demographics and your current quality of life. Remember this test is private and anonymous. Your answers to these questions (and the first 72 items) will NEVER be stored in any computer alongside the email address you give for where you want your results to be sent. We ask these questions because we’re trying to learn whether some of these factors might be significant causes or effects of the 27 traits the test measures.

NOTE: The final nine questions below enable us to learn what kinds of people show each aspect of spiritual wellness we are studying, and what kinds of beliefs and lifestyles are associated with it. These rather personal questions will never be stored or seen with your personal email address. They won’t even be shown on your feedback, so this data can never be associated with you. Since you are not giving exact information about yourself here, no one can identify you from your answers, even if someone sees the feedback that only you will be sent. Because the world needs all this information to help us distinguish God's life from our own life, your test scores will not be returned to you unless you complete these nine items. Thank you for taking these final three or four minutes to complete your test.
