2) The Culture Test: It might help you Sort out Life

Many people have taken individual “person”ality tests like Myer-Briggs or DISC. But have you taken a “group”ality test to measure your cultural orientation? TheCultureTest.com is a free and simple online quiz for learning your primary culture type (e.g. guilt, shame, or fear). Without a basic awareness of culture types, we assume that everyone thinks like us and then fail to anticipate cultural collisions. TheCultureTest.com is ideal for preparing short-term teams, pre-field training, and even on-field research. The 5-minute quiz is 25 easy questions, and results are emailed immediately to your inbox.

3) Heart of Man Chart

This is an evangelistic tool that was developed by All Nations Gospel Publishers in South Africa. It is one of the most requested evangelistic tools in Africa and Asia. The booklet explaining the Heart of Man chart may be printed off the website here.

Cornerstone World Challenge also sells something called the Heart of Raju chart in India in some of the languages of India.
