Who can be given the MPD Self-Assessment Survey?
The survey is administered online and is appropriate for students in junior high or high school, as well as those of college age or beyond, and can be completed in less than 20 minutes. After the questionnaires are scored, each respondent receives his or her score via a personalized e-mail letter. Depending upon the scoring of the survey, there are approximately 250 variations of computerized responses that highlight key strength and growth areas. In addition, individual and group results are tabulated and can be sent to vocational contacts. This allows vocation directors, youth ministers, pastors, pastoral associates or others to personally contact the students to extend an explicit invitation for the young person to seriously consider a vocation. Once identified as potential candidates for ministry, young men and women must be explicitly encouraged, invited and asked to consider a life dedicated to God.
