Suffering from "Statistics Anxiety"? There's hope!

 

The Transformational Discipleship Assessment (TDA) was developed from a  detailed research process. One of the benefits of all that research is that the reports you get have a lot of great information that tell you about your small group or your church (depending on how many people took the assessment).

When you get your reports, you get a LOT of information:

• a summary group report that provides a quick overview of the 8 discipleship attributes
• a detailed group report breaking down each attribute (with 80 charts just like the one here)

You are probably thinking "That's too many charts!"

Most of us can be a little intimidated when we get that much information and experience something known as "statistics anxiety." In fact, researchers believe that most people—even 80% of graduate students—become anxious and uncomfortable the more they have to engage with statistics in a meaningful way.

Everyone is different, but most people either don't see the value, don't understand the data, or don't know what to do with the information once they get it.

If that's you, we can help.
