An instrument to measure individual learning styles. Your learning style is the unique way in which you go about gathering information, sorting it out, and making decisions. You are more likely to find meaning and satisfaction in your life and work if you are aware of your best and most enjoyable style of learning
This instrument is useful whenever you want to help people understand themselves and others, to help understand how people see the same thing differently and to help groups work well together. Many trainers have found this a useful tool for diversity training.
The four learning styles are enthusiastic, imaginative, logical, practical. To show how different they are, here is a description of how all four learning styles approach a new experience.

An instrument to measure an individual's stage of personal power. This profile follows the ideas and behaviors described in Janet Hagberg's book Real Power: Stages of Personal Power in Organizations.
The book describes six progressive stages of personal power: Powerlessness, Power by Association, Power by Achievement, Power by Reflection, Power by Purpose and Power by Wisdom.
The authors designed this profile:
1) to provide individual insights on stages of personal power
2) as a preparatory tool for courses in leadership, power and management
3) as a discussion tool between managers and employees
4) as an assessment tool in the course of personal renewal.

Conflict Resolution Tool (CRT)
This is an instrument to measure individual styles for resolving conflict. We have preferred ways of dealing—or not dealing—with conflict and may of us fear that our approach might be inadequate. Few of us are willing to acknowledge this fear, especially when the issue is conflict in the workplace.
The Conflict Resolution Tool equips you to be more successful in conflict situations. It identifies your strengths and your backup styles under stress. The Tool reveals the unique qualities you bring to conflict resolution. It introduces you to an emotional regulation sill called STOP!—stop, look, listen, choose—a tool to help you approach conflict with confidence.
The four Conflict Resolution Styles are Asserters, Minimizers, Diverters and Avoiders. To give you an idea of how they differ, here are some of the descriptive phrases from the Tool.
ASSERTERS |
MINIMIZERS • Naturals at calming things down • Take their involvement in conflict personally • Empathize but can lack task orientation • Are committed to harmony |
| DIVERTERS • Naturals at stirring things up • Stay personally detached from the conflict • Are fun and lively but distract group from the issues • Are committed to activity |
AVOIDERS • Naturals at calming things down • Stay personally detached from the conflict • Draw ideas to the conflict • Prefer analysis and emotional detachment |
Costs
The Conflict Resolution Tool costs $7.95 each. There are discounts for larger orders. There is a 10% discount if you order 41 to 70, a 15% discount if you order 71-125 and a 20% discount if you order 126 or more. If you have an order for 500 or more, call for additional discounts.

Spiritual Life Inventory (SLI)
The SLI describes how you see yourself on the spiritual journey, using seven phases: Recognition of God, the Life of Discipleship, the Productive Life, The Journey Inward, The Wall, The Journey Outward, The Life of Love. The Spiritual Life Inventory complements the ideas and behaviors described in Janet Hagberg and Robert Guelich's book Critical Journey. We move along phases and repeat them in an ever widening spiral as we experience the breadth and depth of our spiritual lives.
These stages of our spiritual life address one or all of the following issues:
1) the struggle to find meaning and wholeness
2) the crisis of values and identity at midlife
3) questions about our spiritual journey
4) the quest for self-actualization
5) the healing of early religious experiences.
You answer 91 questions on a scale of 1-5 (1=Not descriptive of me to 5=Very descriptive of me) and plot your scores on an answer grid.
Sample Questions
My awe of God makes me feel so insignificant 4
I choose to do anything God asks whether menial or prestigious 2

This inventory is an easy and intriguing way to find out more about our faith and how it differs from others. Why doesn't everyone raise their hands in praise, why do we pray differently, why do some people like to build houses and go on mission trips and others don’t?
This inventory explores four different approaches to faith, to worship, to prayer and to social action: Nurturers, Connectors, Thinkers and Developers. Easy to take, score, and interpret. An entry-level tool for those who want to understand their own faith style.
