Spiritual Gifts Test
This spiritual
gifts test, or evaluation, is a good exercise in helping you to
understand what your Spirit given gifts may be. The reason the word
"may" is used here will be discussed in the section
following the test results, as well as the Scriptural basis for this
subject. In fact, if you are not a believer in Jesus Christ, the
results of this test are meaningless as you do not have the Holy
Spirit and are subsequently relying on yourself for anything you do.
From experience,
we have found that tests with a greater number of statements tend to
form a better evaluation. For that reason this one is comprised of
244. While it is called a "test" there are no right or
wrong answers. Your responses are exactly that -- your responses.
For each statement
indicate whether you Strongly Agree, Partially Agree, are Undecided,
Disagree Somewhat, or Mostly or Completely Disagree. To select your
response, simply click on the corresponding circle. To change your
answer just click on another response. You must respond to every
statement or the test will not be accurate. Your completed responses
will be compiled as specific results in the next section.
Be careful to
choose your answer based on what you really sense to be your desires,
interests, or abilities and not what you "have to do" or
what you "should do." The best way is to not spend a lot of
time thinking about the question. Your "gut" response is
likely the correct one. |
