Welcome! You’re an administrator for your diocese’s charism assessment.

As an administrator, you have three things:

We’ll go through each one, starting with what the people in your diocese experience.

You’ll be the person people ask for help, so here’s the path they take:

1. They open your diocese’s assessment page (from the bulletin, a QR code, or a diocesan email) and tap the button for people who live in the diocese.
2. They create an account with an email and password. The checkout shows $0, because the diocese has covered the cost.
3. They choose your diocese, then their home parish from a list. There are options for people whose parish isn’t listed, who aren’t registered, or who aren’t Catholic.
4. They take the charism assessment: about 20–25 minutes, and they can stop and pick up where they left off.
5. They answer a few questions from your diocese.
6. Their personal report opens right away and arrives by email.

Teens 14–20 automatically get a version written for their age through the same link. The assessment is not made for anyone under the age of 14.

Spanish speakers: the account page is in English, and their browser can translate it. Once the assessment opens, they tap Español, and everything from there on is in Spanish, including their results.

To see their results again later, people log in at manypartsministries.com and click “Access Assessment Results” in the top menu.

This is where you’ll see results and your diocese’s question answers, and where you can tag and export them.

What you see

Diocesan administrators: every parish. Parish administrators: their own parish only.

Works in

A web browser on a computer, tablet, or phone.

Your login is yours alone. Every administrator gets their own personal login, and logins are never shared, even with someone on your own staff. If someone else needs access, they go through this same onboarding.

People trust us, and you, with this personal information. These five commitments are part of your diocese’s agreement, and they apply to every administrator:

• Who can see results: the person who took it, the named administrators at the parish they chose, your diocese’s named administrators, and Many Parts staff. No one else.
• Exports follow the same rules. If you download or export results, those copies are covered by these same commitments. When someone’s results are removed, delete any copy you exported.
• Send every removal request to us. If anyone asks to have their results removed, forward it to [email protected]. We handle every one, so nothing gets missed.
• Teens’ results stay inside your diocese’s safe-environment policies.
• Logins are personal. Never share yours. To add or change an administrator, they go through this onboarding, or email us.

Results are where discernment starts. The people in your diocese will need someone to walk with them as they figure out what their results mean and try their gifts out in service. This training prepares you to be that person for both individuals and small groups.

What you’ll learn, in eight sessions:

1. Intro to charisms: where they come from in Scripture and Tradition, and how to recognize them.
2. The 24 charisms: each one, and how it serves the Church.
3. Identity and charisms: why who we are in Christ shapes how we use our gifts.
4. Why discernment helps people, and why it’s worth the time.
5. The assessment’s role: how to prepare people to take it well.
6. After the results: how to talk through results with someone and help them plan their next steps toward committing to their gifts.
7. Four models of charism discernment, including one-on-one and small groups.
8. A practicum: you walk one person through discernment yourself.

Format

Online and self-directed, with a short quiz after each session. It runs about three months, including the practicum.

At the end

The Master Guide is a short course that shows you how to use every part of your results dashboard, one lesson at a time. Take the lessons in any order, and come back to them whenever you need a refresher.

What it covers:

• A tour of your results dashboard, so you know where everything is.
• The Enrollments page: finding people, viewing their results, tagging, and exporting.
• The four reports: Charism Distribution Analysis, Organization Identity Mix, User Assessment Summary, and Strong Charism Matrix, and what each one tells you about your people.
• The Coupons page.
• API keys, webhooks, and automation, for connecting the dashboard to your other tools. These lessons are optional. If you’re not technical, pass them to whoever manages your systems.

Start with the tour and the Enrollments page. Those two cover most of what you’ll do day to day.
