Scope and Method of Study: The current study improved upon the Spirituality Repertory Assessment-Christian Version, a novel and integrated model and measure of spirituality based on the notion that religion and spirituality should be construed as partners (Schneiders, 2003). The nature of the relationship between religion and spirituality was explicated using the philosophical realism of St. Thomas Aquinas. The measure was modified to avoid problems with the assumptions of continuity presented by Michell (1998, 2005). The measure was developed within the structure of George Kelly's (1955) Personal Construct Theory and participants completed two repertory grids. In the first grid, participants generated constructs through a sentence completion task and then rated themselves on each construct according to two questions/statements. In the second grid, participants rated whether they agreed with either eight doctrines of traditional Christianity related to Jesus or with views that reflected their opposite. The number of "Yes" response was tallied on the Personal Construct grid, along with the number of "View 2"� responses on the Ideal Guide grid. These scores were then analyzed to attempt to discriminate between a) Christians in a secular major and Christians in a ministry major, and b) Christians and non-Christians.

Findings and Conclusions: Analysis revealed that Question 1 in the Personal Construct Grid could not differentiate between Christians (secular) and Christians (ministry). However, Statement 2 was able to differentiate between all three groups. Additionally, the Ideal Guide Grid was also able to distinguish between Christians and non-Christians. The results suggest that the modifications to the measure provided greater ability to assess spirituality while providing a rationale for the view of religion and spirituality as partners.
