If you would like to participate in the IPSAT project, contact your country director or regional director or John Muehleisen in HR and we'll get back to you with more information.

Once we know of your interest, you will receive an invitation by email to create your IPSAT account and begin the onboarding process.

Costs

WGM pays most of the costs for the IPSAT process for staff, including 4 of the 5 assessements, and the coaching session.

The participant pays for the Gallup Strengths Finder Assessment ($ 20.00 for the basic profile ... or $ 50.00 for the extended profile).   The IPSAT process only uses the basic profile but the extended profile has some excellent, additional insights.   

This expense is reimbursable from your ministry account.

Get a good overview of the process

The MyIPSAT website has an excellent, high level overview of the process and the philosphy behind it:

Here’s a few additional details to ensure you get the maximum value from this experience:

  • Be sure to watch the tutorial video on the front and back end of the onboarding process on the MyIPSAT website. The videos are short but very informative.
  • There is an Identity Overview Statement Worksheet download link on the final step of the onboarding process (under the video), right before taking the IPSAT.
    Spending a few minutes with this worksheet before you take the IPSAT will simplify the process of creating the initial draft of your Identity Overview Statement (the first of the five self authored statements).
  • There is a video on your IPSAT dashboard to help you prepare for your coaching session. I encourage you to watch that also.
  • There is a link to a pre-coaching prep worksheet on the IPSAT dashboard. It will upgrade your experience significantly if you print that and spend some time reflecting on it before the coaching session.
  • Your coach will contact you directly as you begin the IPSAT journey to explore the best date/time for your coaching session.
