Reading Your RASIT1 Results with a Mentor

A reflection tool is only as useful as the conversation it starts. Read alone, your RASIT1 results can feel like a mirror: interesting, sometimes uncomfortable, and easy to set aside. Read with someone who knows you and knows Scripture, they can become the beginning of real formation.

“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17). This guide is for that conversation.

What the results are, and what they aren’t

RASIT1 is a spiritual reflection tool. It describes how your soul (your mind, will and emotions) currently tends to express your spirit, organized around five core traits: Conscientiousness, Hope, Self-Discipline, Emotional Stability and Social Competence.

It is not a clinical or psychological assessment. It does not diagnose anything, and it should not be the basis for medical, employment or relationship decisions. Nor is it a fixed identity. Your results describe a present pattern, and patterns change as you grow.

If reading your results stirs up something heavier, such as ongoing anxiety, depression or trauma, bring that to a licensed professional. Starting the conversation with this framing keeps you both honest, and keeps the results in their proper place.

Choosing the right person

Look for someone who is spiritually mature, who knows you well enough to disagree with the results, and who will keep what you share in confidence. A pastor, a seasoned believer in your church, a mentor or a coach can all serve well. “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety” (Proverbs 11:14).

Share your results ahead of time so they can read them before you meet.

Walking through the four parts

Take the main parts of your results in order. Give each its own conversation if you need to.

Your archetype. This is the broadest description: one of seven patterns that combine personality traits with spiritual desires, intuitive knowledge, and the action produced by wonder and hope. Read the description aloud. Ask your mentor where they recognize you in it, and where they don’t.

Your subprofile. Each archetype is expressed in an introverted or an extroverted way. Your subprofile describes how your archetype tends to show up around other people. Talk about where that expression serves you and where it limits you.

Your soul map. This describes how your pattern plays out in your mind, will and emotions. It is often the most practical section, because it points to habits of thought, choice and feeling you can actually work on. Romans 12:2 is a good companion here: we are “transformed by the renewal of your mind.”

Your shadow. Your shadow archetype is the voice you tend to silence. It is not a list of flaws. It is an invitation. Ask your mentor where they have seen that quieter voice in you, and what it might look like to give it more room.

Questions to bring

From what you have seen, where do these results describe me accurately?
Where do they miss something important about me?
Which of the five core traits do you see as a strength in my life right now? Which seems underused?
What does my soul map suggest about how I make decisions under pressure?
Where have you seen my shadow archetype show up, or get pushed down?
What Scripture comes to mind as you read this about me?
What is one practice I could take up in the next 30 days in response?
When should we check in again?

Listening well

You will be tempted to explain yourself. Try to listen first. The value of a mentor is that they can see what you cannot. Paul’s words, “For now we see in a mirror dimly” (1 Corinthians 13:12), are true of self-knowledge too.

At the same time, you do not have to accept every observation. Weigh what you hear against Scripture, prayer and your own honest reflection. The goal is not agreement with a profile. It is clarity about your next faithful step.

Turning insight into action

End the conversation with one assignment, a date, and a time to check in. Your results include a 90-day plan. Choose one element of it to begin with, rather than trying to do all of it at once. Then pray together for the grace to follow through.

Results that lead to one small, dated act of obedience have done their job. Results that lead only to self-description have not.
