Dear {group_name},
The results are in! There are {group_member_count} participants currently in your group. For the selected assessment period, 0 members of your group have completed the Arizona Christian University Worldview Assessment.
The Assessment also measured worldview responses within five categories of related questions. Those categories are identified in the column headings in the table on the next page. For each of those modules, a participant receives one of three designations, based upon their answers. The three designations are as follows:
Integrated DiscipleAn Integrated Disciple is someone who consistently thinks and acts biblically. In this context, for the questions in a specific module contained in the Assessment, a person labeled as an Integrated Disciple related to the questions in that category answered at least 80% of the questions concerning beliefs and at least 80% of the questions concerning behavior in line with biblical principles and teaching.
Emergent FollowerAn emergent follower is someone who is inconsistent when it comes to thinking and acting biblically. In this context, for the questions included in a specific module, a person labeled as an Emergent Follower related to the questions in that category answered 60%-79% of the questions in harmony with biblical principles and teaching.
World Citizen
A world citizen is someone who does not consistently think and act biblically. Regarding the questions in a specific module contained in the Assessment, a person labeled as a World Citizen within a category answered less than 60% of the related questions (both beliefs and behaviors) in line with biblical principles and teaching.

Group’s Dominant Worldview
Within your group overall, the worldview profile is shown below. To place it in a national context, the statistics in the column on the right provide our most recent national norms among adults who describe themselves as Christian.

Consideration
Overall, 0% of your group was identified as having the biblical worldview (i.e., Biblical Theism). As you can see from the contextual data provided, only 6% of American adults who self-identify as Christian possess the biblical worldview.
The worldview that most frequently characterizes people who claim to be Christian is Syncretism. That is not a worldview in the sense of being a well-defined, internally consistent, comprehensive philosophy of life. Syncretism is a mash-up of ideas drawn from competing worldviews. Those who are characterized as Syncretistis have adopted a personally appealing set of beliefs and behaviors drawn from other worldviews. Those preferences from a customized worldview that gives them a sense of comfort or clarity. Many Syncretists have accepted some biblical perspectives and behaviors as part of their unique life perspective—but not enough biblical beliefs and behaviors to enable them to consistently think and act like Jesus (which is a primary outcome of a biblical worldview).
The other popular worldview choice among self-described Christians is Moralistic Therapeutic Deism. This is a kind of “fake Christianity” that blends some Christian-ish thinking and actions with a lot of biblical misinterpretation and blatantly worldly ideas. MTD suggests, among other things, people are basically good, and it is important to be a good person; God exists but is not consistently involved in our lives; He wants us to be happy (so the ends justify the means of our choices); and we can impress God sufficiently to earn our salvation.
Your group’s scores related to the modules of questions in the Assessment also provide some direction as to the strongest and weakest areas of biblical belief and behavior. The results show that the weakest dimension for your group was --. The beliefs and behaviors measured in that module include:
--Those are the types of elements that could be addressed toward improving the changes of people in your group becoming more Bible-centered in their beliefs and behavior.

Thank you for using the Arizona Christian University Worldview Assessment. We pray that it is helpful in your life and ministry.
Group’s Scores – Seven Cornerstones of the Biblical Worldview
The ACU Worldview Assessment measures an individual’s understanding of the Seven Cornerstones of the Biblical Worldview.
Every philosophy has a foundation on which it is built. For the biblical worldview, the Seven Cornerstones constitute that foundation. Research shows that few people who reject any of these seven fundamentals of Christianity go on to develop a biblical worldview. The Cornerstones represent more than just a statistical pathway to philosophical integrity, they are also a gateway to spiritual transformation.
Within your group overall, the profile for scores on the Seven Cornerstones of the Biblical Worldview is shown below.
