The Arno Profile System (APS)

​​​

Overview

The Arno Profile System (APS) is a powerful temperament assessment designed to reveal the unique, God-ordained design of each individual. At DSB Ministries, Inc, the APS is utilized to deepen self-awareness, enhance communication, and foster personal growth aligned with spiritual purpose.

 

The APS is a temperament‑based assessment that identifies a person’s inborn tendencies — their “spiritual genetics,” as the NCCA describes it. This gives you insight into how God designed someone to respond to people, places, stress, and relationships.

​

According to the NCCA, the APS helps Christian counselors identify a person’s inborn temperament, which determines how they react to the world and handle stress.


✔ Saves time
The APS was created to help counselors discover in one session what normally takes 7–8 sessions to uncover.
✔ Reveals root issues
It shows:
•     Core emotional needs
•     Stress points
•     Relational patterns
•     Internal conflicts
•     Strengths and weaknesses
This allows you to go straight to the heart of the matter.
✔ Reduces guesswork
You’re not “figuring someone out.”
You’re working with data about how God wired them.
✔ Supports biblical counseling
Temperament is described as “God’s imprint upon each one of us” — so the APS aligns perfectly with your ministry’s spiritual foundation.
✔ Helps clients feel understood
When you explain their temperament, clients often say:

This builds trust and accelerates healing.
