This assessment is intended to give you an understanding of the emotional and spiritual health of your life. First think through each question and determine a quick placement on Health Indicator Scale (ranging from Never to Always.) This assessment is only as credible as the authenticity of the answers. Your first instinct is usually the most honest and accurate response. Most leaders are inclined to post the “best answer” but we want honest, raw, and vulnerable responses to these questions.

In the box to the right place the number from 1-5 that best describes your feeling today. Tally each section and place the numeric score on the total line for each category. Add the tallied scores from each section to get the overall total score.

Health Indicator Scale (HIS):

Select the appropriate answer for each question.

Each answer has a numeric value from 1-5 based on these indicators:

1 - Never 2- Seldom 3 - Ocassionally 4 - Often 5 - Always

Authority*

The questions in this section are designed to address your concept and understanding of authority. Every person is under God’s authority and He places us under authority for our benefit and protection. Every institution whether it be government, family, or the church has a defined structure of authority. Recognizing the authorities in our lives and relating to them with respect, accountability, humility, and honor is required of us by God. In reality each of us has as much authority as we are under and rightly related to in our lives.

	Never	Seldom	Occasionally	Often	Always
I align my actions with my life's purpose.
I hold myself accountable to one or more individuals.
I take responsibility for my mistakes.
I actively seek truth in every area of my life.
I respond humbly to correction.
I understand authority and can submit.
I know God is the ultimate authority in my life.
I honor the authorities God has put in my life.

Attitude*

The questions in this section are designed to address attitudes in our life. Are you stressed, is your attitude bad toward peers, subordinates, or those in authority over you? Are you cynical, angry, frustrated, and blaming others for difficult situations in your life? Are there areas of your life that are out of control, without proper boundaries, and protection? Your attitude reflects the answer to these questions. It also identifies contentment and pride that may have taken root in your life.

	Never	Seldom	Occassionally	Often	Always
I perceive my life to be equitable to others around me.
I consistently practice spiritual disciplines.
I am adaptable when faced with change or transition.
I contend to keep my life free from relational or professional conflict.
I believe I hear from God.
I feel the freedom to express my concerns to arrive at the best decision.
I am consistent in the way I make decisions.
I act on what I hear God saying.

Order*

The questions in this section are designed to reveal the level of organization that is reflected through the order of things in your life. Order is the result of manageable pace, of clearly define priorities, of operating in the rhythms of work and rest that establish peace and recognizing the seasons of life you are in and adjusting to their demands. The degree of order reflected in our life leads to peace and is a reflection of health in our lives.

	Never	Seldom	Occassionally	Often	Always
I give my best effort to all my responsibilities.
I have energy, am rested, and am free from stress.
I recognize that seasons of my life are temporary.
I intentionally live my life to be an influence.
I embrace organization and order.
I protect my priorities.
I am most productive in a structural environment.
I use my time wisely.

Family*

The questions in this section are designed to address your treatment and response to family. Family is the proving ground of our leadership, success and failure in this important category will have an affect on generations that follow and on the legacy you leave from your life. Your answers reflect the priority you place on your family and protection you place around those relationships compared to other demands on your life.

	Never	Seldom	Occassionally	Often	Always
I consider how my decisions will affect my legacy.
I prioritize my marriage/ close relationships above my work.

I am courageous by addressing conflict in my marriage and family.
I actively work to improve my family relationships.
I intentionally strive to resolve family hurts or trauma.

I maintain clear boundaries between work and family.

Team*

The questions in this section are designed to address the value you place on relational connection and collaborative work with others. Do you enjoy working with a team? Do you value the input and accomplishments of members of your team? Do you share the credit for what is produced by your team? Would your team say that you are a servant leader or a driving leader that is focused on producing results. Your answer to these questions gives a picture of you and your leadership health.

	Never	Seldom	Occassionally	Often	Always
I view relationships as both give and take.
I am known, by my close friends, as helpful.
I have not experienced any broken relationships in the last 10 years.
