CONSENT FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING
One key component of the Arrow journey is the assessment process. In this confidential and proven process, Arrow
uses a number of well-respected assessment inventories to provide opportunity for each leader to foster greater selfunderstanding and self-awareness of their personality, giftedness, strengths, growth areas and blind spots.
There are four phases in Arrow’s assessment process:
Phase 1 – Gathering Data
In addition to each leader providing self-assessment (filling out the inventories on themselves), we ask each leader to
identify a feedback group of five people who provide confidential 360 degree feedback. This group includes: the
leader’s supervisor, a peer, their spouse or an opposite gender person, and two followers.
Data is gathered through the use of secure on-line surveys or inventories that Arrow provides via email. Each
feedback group member then follows the direction provided and offers confidential, honest and objective feedback.
Arrow also invites (though does not require) spouses to further participate in the assessment process by filling out two
self-assessment inventories (16 Personality Factors – 16PF and Myers-Briggs Type Inventory - MBTI). Arrow makes
this invitation to spouses out of respect and support for the marriage relationship and with the goal of deepening
understanding between husband/wife.
Phase 2 – Providing Assessment Overview and Training
During residential one, Arrow’s assessment specialist overviews the assessment process with the entire Arrow class.
Phase 3 – Assessment Debrief
During residential one, each leader receives their own confidential assessment binder as well as the assessment
binder for their spouse (if married and participating). After reviewing the assessment feedback, each leader then
meets one-on-one with Arrow’s assessment specialist during residential one for a personal consultation and also
debriefs the assessment feedback with their leadership partner (on-site mentor).
Phase 4 – Spouse Feedback
After residential one, the returning Arrow leader will provide their spouse (if married and participating) with their own
assessment binder. This binder provides background information on the 16PF and MBTI inventories as well as the
spouse’s assessment feedback.
We encourage the returning Arrow leader and their spouse to schedule time together to review the assessment
feedback.
One value-added option is to book Arrow’s assessment specialist for a one-hour phone debrief post-residential one.
Thirty minutes of this time would be with the Arrow spouse and thirty minutes with the Arrow participant and their
spouse to discuss what the assessment may mean for their marriage and service together. This valuable service is
available, upon request, for $100.
I, the undersigned, voluntarily consent to be administered among others, the Arrow Leadership Profile Questionnaire,
Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI), Myers Brigg Type Inventory (MBTI), Sixteen Personality Factor Inventory
(16PF), and Spiritual Gifts Inventory as part of my comprehensive Arrow Leadership Assessment.
I understand that these test results are considered confidential, and disclosure to parties beyond Arrow Assessment
Team will only be allowed with my written permission,
I take these tests at my own risk, and will not hold Arrow Leadership or any other party responsible for emotional
distress that may result from the assessment procedure or results.

THE ARROW COVENANT
Acceptance into the Emerging Stream of the Arrow Leadership Program infers participation in a 20-month holistic and
intentional leadership development journey with up to 24 other leaders. To ensure a quality experience for all
participants and to protect the integrity of the program, every participant must agree to active participation in every
aspect of the program. If selected, you will become a member of a carefully screened cohort of leaders with whom
you will learn and grow in community.
As a member of this cohort, you will have the opportunity to participate in three residentials, enjoy monthly mentor
meetings, work through personal and group assignments, and connect regularly with a cluster of other leaders.
Ongoing engagement and participation within the program is expected of every participant.
Arrow Leadership reserves the right to “pause” or suspend any participant from the program who violates the terms of
this covenant or who, at Arrow’s discretion, needs to focus his/her time or energy on specific development or
discipleship priorities in his/her life.
Are you aware of and in agreement with Arrow's Statement of Faith in the Lausanne Covenant?*

on a separate page.

Christian leaders (both men and women) from around the world participate in this transformational leadership
development program. While Arrow will promise to preserve your confidentiality and privacy, you will be asked to
participate openly within a safe and confidential community. Arrow requests that each leader will actively preserve
and protect the confidentiality and privacy of one another. Your signed application constitutes consent and agreement
with this policy.
Each leader will be assigned a leadership partner who will journey with the leader over the course of the Arrow
Program. Leadership partners and select staff from Arrow will be given access to the leader’s Assessment material
and will collaborate together as an Assessment and Development Team for the benefit and development of each
leader.
The Arrow Leadership Program has been developed over years of intensive research and development. Arrow values
the free exchange of ideas, learning and expertise. As a result, Arrow will provide open and transparent
organizational learning, research and development. This practice is designed to enhance the leader’s learning and
personal development. It is expected that the principles, ideas and information provided during the Arrow Leadership
experience are transferable and will be put into practice by graduates. Many graduates utilize the concepts, theories
and strategies of Arrow Leadership within their own teams and organizations. However, the development of programs
that match or mimic the majority of the Arrow Leadership experience requires dialogue and permission from the board
of Arrow Leadership. In most cases, Arrow will be glad to assist, consult and support such endeavors. Arrow requests
that graduates refrain from the wholesale utilization of the theories, practices and approaches to leadership
development created by Arrow in the development or establishment of a leadership development program that would
promote itself to a similar clientele or constituency as Arrow. Your signed application constitutes consent and
agreement with this policy.
For promotional purposes, videos and photographs are taken at all residentials and activities. Your signature
constitutes permission for Arrow Leadership to use your likeness in promotional materials.

ARROW’S HERITAGE AND FOCUS
The primary objective of the Arrow Leadership Program is to develop Christian leaders in
churches and Christian organizations so that they might be led more by Jesus, lead more
like Jesus, and lead more to Jesus.
Building our model from the foundation of Jesus as the ultimate leader of leaders, we
believe Christian leadership is so much more than charisma, a title of influence, or a
position of power. Christian leadership starts with God’s call, requires godly character and
engages specific competencies.
Designed for proven Christian leaders (25-40 years old) who are serving in church,
denominational or parachurch ministry, this stream focuses primarily on personal, pastoral
and ministry leadership.
THE ARROW LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

what the assessment may mean for their marriage and service together. This valuable service is available, upon

I, the undersigned, voluntarily consent to be administered the Sixteen Personality Factor Inventory (16PF) and MyersBriggs Type Indicator (MBTI) as part of my spouse’s comprehensive Arrow Leadership assessment.
I understand that the results of this test will be shared with my spouse as part of his/her assessment, and will be
made available to me after the first Arrow residential.
I understand that these test results are considered confidential, and disclosure to parties beyond the Arrow
Assessment Team will only be allowed with my written permission.
I take these inventories at my own risk, and will not hold Arrow Leadership or any other party responsible for any
emotional distress that may result from the procedure or results of these inventories.
