Understanding Your Traits
Big Five Line-ups & Explorations
Need for Stability Exercise
•    You have just picked up the telephone in your office to hear
     the angry voice of one of your congregation leaders asking,
     "Why have you not been to visit Mary Smith? She’s at the
     point of death in the hospital and the family needs you! They
     thought you would have been there an hour ago!”
•    Thoughts/Feelings:
•    Plans to deal with this issue:
Extraversion Exercise
•  You have just been told that your congregation
   wants to honor you. To do so, they want you to plan
   an event to honor yourself.
•  With the other people in your group, plan out what
   you consider to be the perfect way for the
   congregation to honor you.
   •  Expense is no object.
   •  The size of the event, who’s invited, the location, the
      format to honor you, etc., are all strictly up to you.
   •  You must make plans; you may not donate the money.
Originality Exercise
•    Your group has just been given an object. Your task is to
     thoroughly describe the object until time has been called.
•    List everything that is said by anyone in your group during
     the time allowed.
•    Keep your voices low so other groups can’t overhear you
•    Record every single comment made in your group
Accommodation Exercise
•  You are part of a 7-member staff team that has been
   invited by a congregation member to participate in a
   week-long conference at a very posh resort.
   Everyone has been very excited about the upcoming
   trip. Unfortunately, one week before the event is to
   begin, the sponsor has announced that the cost is
   more than they anticipated and only 5 of the 7 team
   members may now attend the conference. What will
   you do?
•  Record all your team responses in the order that
   you discuss them.
Consolidation Exercise
•  It is late afternoon at the end of the week and you
   are trying to finish your sermon. You only have two
   hours left because of other commitments. You are
   about half finished, and you probably need no more
   than one hour to complete it. The deacon chair
   comes to you and says, “The vice- chair and I need
   to talk to you about the meeting next Monday night. I
   know this is sudden but both of us are going out of
   town tomorrow, and we need to do it now. Can you
   meet with us?”
•  List your group’s responses to this request and the
   reasons for your responses.
Which of your Supertraits help your
ministry the most?
•  How do your supertraits help or hinder you
   in performing your ministry?
•  Do you feel your scores are too high or too
   low?
•  Work with a partner to brainstorm
   compensation strategies to address your
   needs:
  •  Support, develop or compensate
Utilizing the Big Five

•  What do you think is the biggest strength
   that you bring to your ministry?
•  In what area do you need help from others
   to work more effectively?
Jesus, Paul and the Big Five

•  How would you score Jesus on the Big
   Five?
•  How would you score Paul on the Big
   Five?
