Spiritual Gift Assessment

The Spiritual Gifts Assessment helps individuals identify their God-given gifts for living faithfully as Christian disciples day by day and find meaningful ways to use their gifts in connection with others through the community of faith. The process helps people understand the nature of spiritual gifts and ways to enhance the effectiveness of their gifts by linking together with others.

STEP 1: TAKE THE SELF ASSESSMENT

DIRECTIONS: This is not a test, so there are no wrong answers. Some items reflect concrete actions; other items are descriptive traits; and still others are statements of belief.  Select the one response you feel best characterizes yourself from the drop down list below the question.  Do not spend too much time on any one item. Remember, it is not a test. Usually your immediate response is best.  Please give an answer for each item. Do not skip any items. Once completed, please note the gifts with the highest scores, and add the attributes to your member profile in Realm.

For each of the questions that follow, choose the number that corresponds with the response that most closely matches how you perceive yourself. Here is the scale of responses:

4 = Consistently true
3 = Frequently true
2 = Occasionally true
1 = Infrequently true
0 = Rarely true

Answer as truthfully as you can. After responding to each question, the values in scoring grid (below the form) will be automatically calculated to analyze your results, then proceed to step 2 below the results.
