IDAK MAX Assessment
The IDAK MAX is a tool that determines your attributes quickly and accurately. It searches for key traits to predict your innate potential as well as your natural ability to be efficient, responsible, and self-disciplined. The MAX Report tests for Character and Interpersonal Temperament Traits and Natural Talents, a total of 86 traits reported in a simple and easy-to-read format.
The assessment process includes three online assessments which take about 3-4 hours to complete. Assessments include the 16PF (16 Personality Factors), the Taylor-Johnson Temperament Analysis, and the Talent Discovery Guide.
Following completion of the three online assessments, IDAK MAX creates a report. Before the report is considered valid, a validation interview is completed with an approved IDAK validation counselor.
The IDAK MAX process has been academically tested and was preferred to Strengths Finder. You will understand yourself better, where you best fit, and how you can work to your natural talents, avoiding burnout.
IDAK MAX is a copyrighted ministry of The Christian and Missionary Alliance having been originally founded by John Bradley of the IDAK Group. The validation process has been normed for persons in ministry with a focus on the 19 key pastoral talents.
The cost for the IDAK MAX process varies. Candidates, churches, and districts from within The Christian and Missionary Alliance receive significant discounts.
The IDAK Prime is available for individuals who don’t speak English and for those whom English is a second language.
