In the case of religion and spirituality several obstacles, like low expectations, lackadaisical and/or relativistic attitude towards outcomes, anti-standards (such as [[Death Tests]] or [[Life Tests]]), [[indoctrination]], even confusion, stand in the way of developing and applying appropriate outcome measures (Sharp, 2010).

An outcome measure is an agreed upon measure of success. If you build a bridge, then a successful outcome is that the bridge is safe and does not collapse. Bridge safety is thus an outcome measure. For an application of outcome measures to Authentic Spiritualityt, see RSGAS. [1]

Notes

Maslow notes the importance of outcome measures when he says that judging the authenticity of a peak experience requires "a follow-up of the individual" to see if the peak experiences led to stable change. [2]

You can apply outcome measures to any human endeavour from sex to spirituality. If the sex was good and both partners had a powerful orgasm, then you have a successful outcome. If the chocolate cake you baked is light and fluffy and everybody gobbles it up, then you have a successful outcome. In this case taste, texture, and acceptance by others are the outcome measures of cake baking.
