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
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.
