Besides identifying potential vocations, can the MPD survey be used in other ways, for other purposes?
Yes. This instrument was originally developed as a means of identifying young people with ministry potential. Religion teachers, principals and directors of religious education who used it also found it was valuable in measuring students’ acceptance of core Christian beliefs and assessing the effectiveness of religious education. Many schools have used it primarily as an indicator of religious development, while identifying vocational candidates as a secondary benefit. For example, the survey asks how strongly the survey taker agrees with this statement: “Obedience to each of the Ten Commandments is just as necessary as becoming a loving and caring person.” A young person’s response to this can indicate his or her maturity in understanding fundamental moral principles.
