WHAT IS SPIRITPULSE?

Most schools over-survey their students and end up with inaccurate results they never use. Using an innovative methodology, the SpiritPulse takes just 5-7 minutes, increasing response rates (by 2-3X), and the accuracy of the overall results.


Students love it because it's brief, intuitive and can be taken on their smart phone in just a few minutes. Administrators love it because the easy-to-understand report provides an immediate and clear road map for improving spiritual formation programs. This is a report you’ll actually use!

Because it’s so brief, you can administer SpiritPulse more frequently to track trends and the impact of program improvements.

   “Trying to assess spiritual formation is like trying to nail Jell-O onto a wall. It was an incredible challenge with too many factors in play. This was the case until we began using Dr. Todd Hall’s SpiritPulse assessment tool at Palm Beach Atlantic University. Not only were we provided with precision metrics to see how we were doing, but we also received recommended next steps that foster spiritual formation and growth among the PBA family!

—Bernie A. Cueto, PhD., Campus Pastor, Associate Professor of Biblical and Theological Studies, Palm Beach Atlantic University.
   “We care deeply about our students’ spiritual development, but it can be difficult for students to report how things are going in their relationship with God. The SpiritPulse was painless for our students to complete, and the results were both meaningful and easy to use as part of our institutional assessment and planning processes.

—Joel Wingo, Academic Dean, Calvary Chapel Bible College
   “As an institution, measuring the spiritual climate of our campus is one the most difficult tasks we face. Spirit Pulse provided us with a simple way to assess our students' spiritual experiences. It was user-friendly for out studnets and Todd and his team went above and beyond to help us every step of the way. The report provided simple, actionable results that will help us positively influence our students’ walk with Jesus.

—Matt Malone, Institutional Effectiveness Analyst, Central Christian College of Kansas
   “Our students' spiritual vitality is a core value and so we need a meaningful tool for measurement. We have found the SpiritPulse to be a quick, easy-to-complete, invaluable assessment that provides us with clear, understandable results for clarifying priorities, celebrating successes and improving upon challenges.

—Steven Hostetter, Ph.D., Vice President for Academic Services, Pacific Rim Christian University

THE INNOVATIVE METHOD BEHIND SPIRITPULSE

The SpiritPulse is a next generation spiritual assessment that combines a brief user-friendly survey for participants with actionable results for program administrators. Instead of using long scales with likert-scale items, we ask participants how they are doing in a certain domain, and then which areas of that domain that are going well or not so well.

Our algorithms then compute a score for each area that factors in both spiritual health and relevance. The results for each domain are portrayed in an intuitive four-quadrant graph showing how each area scored on the two dimensions of spiritual health (X-axis) and relevance (Y-axis). By identifying the quadrant in which an area is located, you get a high-level score that provides a clear road map for program improvement.

Areas in the top-left quadrant are labeled "Prioritize" because students as a whole are indicating that these areas are highly relevant and also relatively unhealthy. Areas in the top-right quadrant are labeled “Celebrate” as they are both highly relevant and spiritually healthy. The bottom-right quadrant, “Maintain,” displays areas that are healthy but not as relevant to students. These areas need to be maintained and even leveraged as opportunities. Areas in the bottom-left quadrant are labeled “Review” as they are relatively unhealthy but not as relevant to students. With the clarity of these results, you'll be able to take immediate action on the results.

The SpiritPulse has demonstrated construct validity based on domain total scores correlating with outcomes such as spiritual struggles, spiritual well-being and overall well-being.
