Frequently Asked Questions

The Assessment Center is a set of self-assessments built on the Seven Governing Dynamics, the seven capacities Kelly L. Call teaches in his books. Each assessment gives you a score from 0 to 100% for how active a Dynamic is in your life right now, and points you to where to focus first.

The scores are for reflection and growth. They are developmental reflection tools, not psychometrically validated or clinical assessments.

They are seven capacities, each of which can be strong or starving in a person:

1. Respondability (I Can): your real, present ability to respond.
2. Sociability (I Have): the joy of warm, safe, positive attachment.
3. Engageability (I Am): the willingness to be present, aligned and wholehearted.
4. Charitability (I Love): shameless, pure love for God, for others and for yourself.
5. Sovereignability (I Reign): the competence to own your life, with identity, rightful authority and accountable stewardship.
6. Discernibility (I Discern): the clarity to tell truth from error.
7. Teachability (I Reason): the openness to grow, to reason, receive correction and learn.

Read more on the Seven Capacities page, in the white paper, or in the books.

There are several. Here is what each is for:

• Whole-profile assessment (free). All seven Dynamics in one sitting: 56 statements, about 8 minutes. Use it first. It shows where you are strong and where you are starving.
• Go deeper into one Dynamic (free). 24 statements on a single Dynamic, looking at the six capacities inside it. Use it when one Dynamic stands out and you want to know exactly where inside it to focus.
• Detailed Overview ($9, a PDF you keep). A personal write-up of your whole profile, across all seven Dynamics: where to focus first, the answers that flagged concern, and reading recommendations. Use it when you want something to study, print or share with a counselor or mentor.
• Focus Report ($5 for one Dynamic, $29 for all seven). A personal write-up of one Dynamic, built from its 24-statement deep dive: your priorities in order, the answers that flagged concern, a practice for each capacity and a four-week plan. It is offered on that Dynamic’s results screen when you finish a deep dive. Use it when one Dynamic is the one you want to work on.
• 7GD Team Profile ($15 for a pair, $39 for a team of up to 10, $79 for a group of up to 30). Each person takes the whole-profile assessment, then joins the team. The report shows how the seven Dynamics look across the group: where you agree about what needs feeding, and where one person’s strength can steady another. Good for couples, families, teams and classes.
• Organizational Maturity Diagnostic. A reflection tool for leadership teams on how an organization handles agency, authority, trust, correction, accountability, discernment and learning. It is about the organization, not about ranking individual people.
• Human Agency Under AI diagnostic. A reflection tool for examining decision ownership, capacity, authority, discernment, correction and learning where AI is used in the work.

Start with the free whole-profile assessment. It takes about 8 minutes and tells you which Dynamic to look at more closely. Then go deeper into the Dynamic that stands out. If you want a keepsake PDF of your whole profile, get the detailed Overview; if you want a written plan for one Dynamic, get its Focus Report. If you want to compare with a spouse, family or team, use the Team Profile. For organizations, start with the Organizational Maturity Diagnostic.

No. They are developmental reflection tools, not psychometrically validated or clinical assessments. They do not diagnose anything, and they do not replace professional counseling, medical care or legal advice. Use them to notice, reflect and choose what to work on.

No. There is no account or sign-in. Your results are kept in your own browser. If you buy something, we ask only for your name and email, so we can send you your order code.

Everything starts free: the whole-profile assessment and the single-Dynamic deep dives, with your results shown on the page. You pay only when you want something to keep, study or share. Here is who each paid option is for:

• Detailed Overview ($9, one person). Best for someone who has taken the whole-profile assessment and wants the full picture in writing: where to focus first, the answers that flagged concern, and reading recommendations, in a PDF you can study, print, or share with a counselor or mentor.
• Focus Report ($5, one person, one Dynamic). Best for someone whose results show one Dynamic that stands out and who wants to work on it: your priorities inside that Dynamic in order, the answers that flagged concern, a practice for each of its six capacities, and a four-week plan.
• Focus Module Bundle ($29, one person, all seven Dynamics). Best for someone who intends to go deep on most or all seven Dynamics. One payment, and it costs less than buying the Focus Reports one at a time (7 × $5 = $35). It is the better value from your 6th report on.
• Team Profile ($15 for a pair, $39 for up to 10 people, $79 for up to 30). Best for couples, families, work teams, church groups and classes who want to see the seven Dynamics across the group: where you agree about what needs feeding, and where one person’s strength can steady another. One person, the leader, pays for everyone.

Not sure yet? Take the free assessment first. If the free results answer your question, you do not need to buy anything.

The free results show your seven scores on the page, and for some people that is enough. The Overview is for when you want more than the numbers: a personal write-up of your whole profile that shows where to focus first, which of your answers flagged concern, and what to read next. It is a PDF you keep, so you can study it, print it, or sit down with a counselor or mentor and go through it together. It is for one person and is built from that person’s own answers. Take the free assessment first, and decide with your scores in front of you.

When one Dynamic is the one you want to work on. The free deep dive shows where inside that Dynamic you are strong and where you are starving. The Focus Report turns that into something you can act on: your priorities inside the Dynamic in order, the answers that flagged concern, a practice for each of its six capacities, and a four-week plan. It is for one person and one Dynamic, and it is offered on that Dynamic’s results screen when you finish the deep dive. If you want the picture of your whole profile rather than one Dynamic, the Overview is the better fit.

It is for one person who plans to go deep on most or all seven Dynamics, for example someone working through the seven one after another. Each Dynamic has its own Focus Report, and the bundle unlocks all seven for one payment. Bought one at a time they come to $35. The bundle is $29, so it is the better value as soon as you expect to do 6 or more. Each report is built when you finish that Dynamic’s deep dive, so you can spread them over as many days or weeks as you like. If you expect to work on only one or two Dynamics, buy those Focus Reports on their own. The bundle is for one person: a spouse or friend who wants their own buys their own.

These are two different things. A Team Profile shows the group: each person takes the free whole-profile assessment and joins the team with a code, and the report shows how the seven Dynamics look across all of you. One person, the leader, pays for everyone ($15 for a pair, $39 for 3 to 10 people, $79 for 11 to 30), and the other members do not pay. An Overview or a Focus Report shows one person in depth, and each person who wants their own buys their own. A couple, for example, might use the Pair profile to see how the two of them fit together, and each buy an Overview for their own deeper write-up.

1. Open the Assessment Center.
2. Press Begin the whole-profile assessment.
3. Read each statement and choose how often it is true of you right now: Almost never, Occasionally, Sometimes, Frequently or Consistently.
4. Use Next to move through the pages. Answer honestly rather than as you wish you were.
5. At the end you see your 0–100% score for each Dynamic and where to focus first.

The whole-profile assessment has 56 statements and takes about 8 minutes. Going deeper into one Dynamic is 24 statements.

On the assessment page, press Go deeper: 24 statements for the Dynamic you want, or use the “Go deeper into …” link on your results. You will see the six capacities inside that Dynamic and which statements pulled the score down.

Each Dynamic gets a score from 0 to 100%. The bands are:

• Strong: 80% and above
• Growing: 60–79%
• Undernourished: 40–59%
• Starving: below 40%

A low score is not a verdict on you. It shows what needs feeding next.

Yes, as often as you like, and it is free. A new result for a Dynamic replaces your saved score for that Dynamic. If you bought an Overview, it belongs to the answers you gave when you bought it. An Overview for new answers is a new purchase.

Each person should take the assessment themselves, on their own turn, so the answers are honest. You can use one device for several people: finish one person’s assessment, use Clear my saved scores, and let the next person begin. For a side-by-side view of a pair or group, use the Team Profile.

Your answers and scores are saved only in your own browser, on the device you used. We do not receive them. That means they are private, but it also means that if you clear your browsing data, use a private or incognito window, or open the page on a different device or browser, they will not be there.

The free results show on the page. The detailed Overview is the downloadable one: after your purchase is confirmed, press Download my Overview (PDF) and your browser saves it to your Downloads folder. Keep the file somewhere safe, because we do not keep a copy of your answers.

With your Overview open on the page, press Print (or Save as PDF or print if no PDF button is shown). Your browser’s print window opens. Choose a printer, or choose “Save as PDF” as the destination to make a file. The same works for a Team Profile.

If you downloaded the PDF, you still have it. If not, retake the assessment, then use Already paid? Restore my purchase and enter your order code. Restoring works while your order’s assessment still matches. Because we never keep your answers, we cannot rebuild an Overview from our side, so the PDF you download is your permanent copy. If you do not have your order code, press Lost your order code, team code or leader key? Email me my codes under Already paid?, type the email address you bought with, and we send your order codes to it right away.

Press Clear my saved scores on the assessment page. You can also clear your browser’s site data. Either removes your results from that device. To erase what we hold about a purchase, see “How do I have my data deleted?”

Yes. The Assessment Center works on phones, tablets and computers. On a small phone, a wide table in a Team Profile may scroll sideways, and the PDF download is the easiest way to read it in full.

The detailed Overview is $9, for one person. It is built from that person’s own answers, so it cannot be shared between people: each person who wants an Overview takes the assessment and buys their own. For a couple, a family or a group, see the Team Profile prices below. The whole-profile assessment and the single-Dynamic deep dives are free, and the free results show on the page. The paid items are the downloadable reports. The Overview is a one-time payment for the assessment you have taken now.

1. Take the whole-profile assessment so you have results.
2. On your whole-profile results page, find the Overview box and enter your name and email.
3. Press Continue to Venmo. Venmo opens with @Seven_Governing_Dynamics, the price and your order code already in the note.
4. Send the payment and leave the note exactly as it is. The order code in the note is how we match your payment to your order.
5. Come back to the page. It checks for your payment automatically and unlocks your Overview, usually within a minute or two.
6. Press Download my Overview (PDF). We also email you your order code.

Payments are made through Venmo to @Seven_Governing_Dynamics. Venmo handles the money, and we never see your card or bank details. When you pay, Venmo emails us a payment notice. Our system matches the order code in the note to your order and checks that the amount is at least the price, and only then unlocks your purchase. Nothing is released before the payment is confirmed.

Venmo is the only payment method right now, so you need a Venmo account (the Venmo app or venmo.com). A Venmo account is free to create at venmo.com.

1. Wait a couple of minutes and keep the page open. It checks automatically.
2. Check that the Venmo payment went through and that the note still has your order code (it begins GD7-).
3. If you closed the page, open the Assessment Center again and use Already paid? Restore my purchase.
4. Lost your order code? Under Already paid?, choose Email me my codes and type the email address you bought with.
5. Make sure you paid the full amount shown, from your own Venmo account, with your order code in the note. Paying more than the price is accepted. If you did all that and the page has not unlocked, open your order and choose Check my payment.

This is a digital product and all sales are final.

It can be. We match a payment to your order by its order code, and the amount must be at least the price. If the code was left out or changed, a payment of the exact amount is still matched when the name on your Venmo account is the name you typed at checkout and it arrives within three hours of starting the order. If you paid too little, the payment is not matched, so please start a new order and pay the full price with its code in the note.

The Overview covers your whole profile, all seven Dynamics, and is $9. A Focus Report goes deep on one Dynamic. It is built from that Dynamic’s 24-statement deep dive and is $5. Choose the Overview for the whole picture, or a Focus Report when one Dynamic is the one you want to work on. A Focus Report is offered on that Dynamic’s results screen, right after you finish its deep dive.

1. Go deeper into one Dynamic (the 24-statement deep dive) and finish it.
2. On that Dynamic’s results screen, press Get this Focus Report, and enter your name and email.
3. Press Continue to Venmo. Venmo opens with @Seven_Governing_Dynamics, the price and your order code already in the note. Send the payment and leave the note exactly as it is.
4. Come back to the page. It checks for your payment by itself and builds your Focus Report as soon as it is confirmed.
5. Download the PDF and keep it. We also email your order code.

If you leave before it finishes, your order is kept in this browser. Open the whole-profile results page and it will pick up where it left off.

The bundle is $29 and unlocks a Focus Report for all seven Dynamics for one person, in one payment. It costs less than buying seven Focus Reports one at a time (7 × $5 = $35). Each report is delivered when you finish that Dynamic’s deep dive: the one you are on is built as soon as your payment is confirmed, and each later one is built by itself when you finish its deep dive. If you buy a single Focus Report first, you can still buy the bundle later.

A Focus Report belongs to the answers you gave when you bought it. If you retake that deep dive with different answers, the new Focus Report is a new purchase. Retaking with the same answers brings the same report back. Your PDF always stays yours.

One payment covers one person’s Overview for the assessment that person has taken now. If you retake with different answers and want a new Overview, that is a new purchase. A Focus Report, the Focus Module Bundle and a Team Profile are each a separate purchase.

It shows how the seven Governing Dynamics look across a group of people: the priorities you share, and where one person’s strength can steady another. It works for couples, families, work teams, church groups and classes.

• Pair (2 people): $15
• Team (3 to 10 people): $39
• Group (11 to 30 people): $79

One person (the leader) buys it for the whole team. Members do not pay. Group is the largest size.

1. On the Assessment Center, open Open the Team Profile.
2. Choose Pair, Team or Group, give your team a name, and choose Named or Anonymous.
3. Enter your name and email, then press the Venmo button and pay.
4. When your payment is confirmed, you receive a team code (to share) and a private leader key, on the page and by email.
5. Share the team code with your members.

A member is joining the team that their own company, organization, family or group set up. It is not a Christlike Intelligence membership: there is no account to create and nothing to subscribe to. Only their name and seven scores are shared with their team.

1. The member takes the free whole-profile assessment first, so all seven scores exist.
2. On the Team Profile screen, find Join a team, enter the team code and their name, and press Check the team.
3. They see exactly what will be shared: their name and their seven percentage scores, never their individual answers.
4. They press Join this team. They can join again later with the same name to update their scores.

Named: everyone with a key can see each member’s name and seven scores. Needs at least 2 people, and a pair is always Named.

Anonymous: only the leader sees the team view, and it shows averages and ranges, never individual scores. Needs at least 3 people. Members’ scores are still stored on our server so the report can be built, but they are not shown to anyone.

On the Team Profile screen, use View my team’s profile, enter the team code and a key, and press Show the team profile. The leader key always works. A member key opens the profile only for a Named team. You can read it on the page, download it as a PDF with Download the Team Profile (PDF), or print it.

Each member ranks the seven Dynamics from weakest to strongest. The ranks are added across the team, and the Dynamic with the lowest total is Priority 1: the one the group most needs to feed together. Ties are settled by the team’s average score.

Both were shown on the page and emailed to you when your payment was confirmed. If you can no longer find that email, open the Team Profile screen and choose Lost your order code, team code or leader key? Email me my codes. Type the email address you bought with, and we send the team code and leader key to that address within a minute. Check your spam folder, and try each address you use. For safety they are only ever sent to the address that bought. If you are a member and lost the team code, ask your team leader, who has it.

• Taking an assessment: nothing. Your answers and scores stay in your browser.
• Buying the Overview: your name, email, order code and payment confirmation. Your scores and flagged answers are sent once to build the Overview and are not stored. We keep only a one-way fingerprint that ties your payment to your assessment.
• Team Profile: the leader’s name and email, the team name, and each member’s name and seven percentage scores (never their answers).

Records are kept in a private Google account owned by Kelly L. Call. We do not sell your information. Payments run through Venmo, and Google provides the storage and email. See the Privacy page.

You can do it yourself, any time, on the assessment page. At the bottom, choose Erase my information, type the email address you bought with, and we email you a one-time code. Enter the code and everything we hold for that address is deleted: your orders and order codes, your name and email, any team you bought with its members’ names and scores, and our code emails to you. Paid orders stop working and are not refunded. Only the team leader, the person who bought the team, can erase a team. A team member can remove only their own name and scores, by entering their member key (it starts with M7-) in the same place; that does not affect the rest of the team.

We email your order code when you buy. We also keep your name and email to send occasional news about the Seven Governing Dynamics from Kelly L. Call. To stop hearing from us, use Erase my information at the bottom of the assessment page.

The model’s principles were drawn from the functions of the seven energy centers that many traditions describe. It is not a religion and is not meant to replace anyone’s own faith. It applies to every person, whatever their religion, denomination or culture, and also to order AI with the same governing principles. The books, this website and the videos reflect Kelly’s own study of these principles as aligned with his Christian faith.
