Based on your discernment and observation, rate yourself on a “Green—Yellow—Red” scale in the following areas:

“Green” means you have positive, observable behaviors others have witnessed in this category. You have little concern or no concern about yourself as an elder in this category. Please include a description of how you have embodied this character trait.

“Yellow” means you are either unsure or have a small concern about yourself in this category. This is not a disqualifying concern, but it may not be a strength you have personally embodied. Include a description of what surfaces your concern about yourself.

“Red” means you have a major concern or a red flag. A “Red” may not be a disqualification for yourself, but it does represent an important or significant concern you need to be observed or addressed by leadership. A “Red” means this is an area of past or present moral failure, a significant area of immaturity, or an area of significant weakness. Describe your concerns that prompt you to mark this category a “Red.”

Space is given at the end of these questions for you to add context if needed.
