Excel-based Interpretive Report Program

The ASPIRES is the first measure to understand  spirituality as a personality trait. Using the Five Factor Model (FFM) of personality as the organizing conceptual and empirical scaffolding, the constructs contained in this measure were selected because they were found to be independent of the domains of the FFM. As such, spirituality is considered to be a sixth dimension of personality. The information from the ASPIRES complements information from traditional personality scales and augments and extends insights into respondents concerning their levels of engagement with existential issues. While not considered a personality trait, the ASPIRES also captures religious sentiments relating to both involvement with the more ritualistic aspects of religious involvement as well as identifies feelings of estrangement from ones’ religious communities as well as disturbances in ones’ relationship with the God of their understanding.
