8 Comprehensive Soldier Fitness / Global Assessment Tool (GAT) Survey Student Handout #4 Global Assessment Tool Survey homework assignment instructions What is the Global Assessment Tool (called the GAT ) survey? This survey allows you to assess yourself on the dimensions of emotional, spiritual, social, and family fitness. You will navigate through 6 screens, which contain approximately 100 questions. The survey will take about minutes of your time and at the end you will be presented with a rapid estimate of your individual fitness in the above listed dimensions. The spiritual dimension questions on the GAT pertain to the domain of the Human Spirit: they are not "religious" in nature. The Comprehensive Soldier Fitness Program defines spiritual fitness as strengthening a set of beliefs, principles, or values that sustain a person beyond family, institutional, and societal sources of support. Also, spiritual fitness provides a person a sense of purpose, meaning, and the strength to persevere and prevail when faced with significant challenges and responsibilities. It promotes general well-being, enhances selfconfidence, and increases personal effectiveness. How to Log onto and complete the Global Assessment Tool: 1. Log on to the 2.
