Incarnational Framework Self Assessment 

See. Do. Be. Free.

The Incarnational Framework inventory is a tool to  help people understand the degree to which their beliefs and actions align with the concepts of SEE, DO, BE, and FREE. We have developed this so that those who take the inventory can learn more precisely about the areas where they flourish and where they struggle. We believe that this feedback can offer one helpful insights as one continues to work towards loving and serving their communities from a place of wide and open freedom.

The inventory asks you to respond to a number of statements and will take about 15 minutes to complete. For the first part, please answer by considering how you usually feel or think. For the second part, simply answer “yes” or “no” as you remember your actions of the past month.
