Outsider Evaluation Form
Based on 1 Timothy 3:1-13 & Titus 1:6-9

Self evaluations can be most difficult. If you tend to be introspective or even insecure you will be prone to be hard on your self evaluation. If you as an extrovert and self confident you may over judge yourself. For this reason we ask that you use a failsafe method of evaluation. The same questions should be asked of you, then of your pastor, and your spouse, and a friend or family member who knows you well. The answers they give should be tallied by someone else, not by you - preferably your pastor.

There are four possible answers 1) Yes 2) Mostly 3) No and 4) Not Sure. Circle the number that your believe true in your case. Click on the links for a definition of the qualification. There are 30 questions for a possible high score of 120. The scores of all four evaluations should be tallied together to give the truest picture of your qualifications or lack thereof. This gives the highest possible score of 480.
