Abstract:
Few spiritual scales are tailored to the work of human performance, few enfranchise non-theists, and few simultaneously capture both vertical and horizontal aspects of spirituality. To address the gap, the Consortium for Health and Military Performance partnered with the US Special Operations Command to develop the SOCOM Spiritual Fitness Scale. The scale is reliable, valid, psychometrically sound, and capable of generating comprehensive group and individual profiles to aid chaplains in program development/assessment and tailored spiritual coaching.
