Spiritful Type Questionnaire

What Is Your Spiritful Type?

Directions:

Every one of us, from atheist to devout, has beliefs. This is because beliefs are a fundamental and important part of life; they give us a way, both individually and collectively, to express the Six Fundamental Human Desires: meaning, purpose, value, connection, resilience and transcendence. But too easily and too often we use belief as a means to erect boundaries between ourselves and others, and as an excuse to sow the seeds of bias and belligerence. In a post 9/11 world, this is something we can no longer afford.

This questionnaire isn't going to categorize you based on what you believe. We don't think it's helpful to tell you what you already know, or to classify you accordingly. Instead this questionnaire gives you a sense of how and why you form and express your beliefs, how they experience and frame the fullness of life, and what is most at stake for you when it comes to expressing the Six Fundamental Human Desires.

You will be asked a series of evocative, yet fun multiple choice questions. Read through each question carefully, then choose the one that feels MOST true. Something to bear in mind: some questions may have more than one answer that are true for you; likewise, none may describe you perfectly, but don't worry. There is no right or wrong answer. This tool is only meant to help you and orient you. The way to get the most out of this exercise is to be as honest as you can, so don't feel the need to rush through it. Above all, have fun and be inspired!

Determining your Spiritful Type serves as a great launching point for Spirit Wellness. The Types are also a great and practical way to get people talking from across the table to across the world. One thing to know, these  types aren't absolute; many people move between one or many at different points in their lives, so consider checking in with your Spiritful Type regularly, and visit our message boards to meet others of every profile.
