The material on this page is adapted from "What your Counsellor Never Told You" by Dr. William Backus; Bethany House Publishers. The purpose of this form is to you gain a idea of the areas of sinful activity and thinking that are at the core of your personal situation or problem.

EVERY BUTTON is already selected TRUE, you will need to read and ANSWER EACH question by selecting the appropriate radio button to indicate whether the statement is TRUE of you or FALSE of you. IF you leave the buttons as is, they will all send a TRUE response about each statement.

PLEASE PLAN uninterupted time to do this profiling. IF you do not have the time, I suggest printing out the pages, marking them with your pen or pencil, then coming back in here to transfer the information. OTHER THAN that, using this online form is the easiest way to do it.
