Ever wonder what makes your family tick — why you handle conflict a certain way, or what draws you together? The Family ID Assessment is a free online tool that helps families uncover their unique identity through four core principles: Identity, Purpose, Direction, and Application.^1 Based on your answers, it maps your household to one of 16 family types — like Collaborative, Visionary, Resilient, or Nurturing — giving you language to talk about who you are and where you're headed together.^2
Founded in 1997 by Greg and Rhonda Gunn in Oklahoma City, Family ID began as Family Vision Ministries — a nonprofit dedicated to guiding families toward discovering their identity in Christ.^3 What started as weekend workshop experiences at local churches has grown into a nationally recognized ministry offering the online assessment, a companion iOS app, books, journals, a masterclass, and the Family on Purpose Podcast hosted by Derek and Gina England.^4 Family ID also partners with Life.Church's Open Network, where their four-session video series is available as a free small group resource.^5
Why Christians Love It"After doing the Family ID Assessment, I had an eye-opening chat with my sister. It's amazing how different our views on our family are. We realized many of us are just getting by, dealing with daily life. This assessment has started more meaningful conversations and is helping us understand each other better." — Carter Family^1
"We're really grateful for this free resource. It opened our eyes to how unique our family is and pointed out some dynamics we could work on." — Larson Family^1
