About PEERS™ Testing

The PEERS™ Test is an evidence-based tool designed to measure your worldview. It doesn't just tell you what you think; it shows you how your beliefs in five critical areas of life actually align with biblical principles.

Politics

Examining the role of government, law, and justice through a biblical lens.

Economics

Understanding stewardship, property rights, and the ethics of wealth.

Education

Evaluating the purpose of knowledge and the responsibility of discipleship.

Religion

Exploring your personal relationship with God and the church's role in society.

Social Issues

Addressing complex cultural topics like marriage, sanctity of life, and human dignity.

A Biblical Standard in a Changing World

Founded in 1986, the Nehemiah Institute established the PEERS™ Test—an evidence-based assessment designed to measure worldviews across five critical areas: Politics, Economics, Education, Religion, and Social Issues. To date, over 125,000 high school students from more than 1,000 Christian organizations have completed the 70-item assessment. By analyzing these responses, PEERS identifies where an individual aligns within four worldview categories: Biblical Theism, Moderate Christian, Secular Humanism, or Socialism. The data reveals a sobering reality: over 90% of youth from Christian homes currently score in the Secular Humanism category, while less than 3% score in Biblical Theism. This is arguably the single greatest challenge facing the Church in America today.

Your Personal Worldview Checkup

The purpose of this platform is to provide parents and adults in local churches with a confidential, at-no-cost personal Worldview Checkup. Using any computer or mobile device, you can complete the assessment and receive an instant, comprehensive PEERS Scorecard. Alongside your results, you gain immediate access to high-quality Position Papers designed to help you strengthen your understanding of the most frequently missed PEERS items. If you find value in your personal assessment, we encourage you to share this service with your local church. Beyond personal testing, our organization provides tailored Group Testing options, offering advanced tools for deep-dive worldview analysis and leadership training.
