This inventory is designed to begin your journey toward spiritual gifts discovery. This assessment is not a scientific instrument. However, it can be accurate if you remember that it is not a test or competition. When questions are answered quickly, without deep thought but honestly, it will increase the chance for true answers to surface. Perceptions about spiritual gifts will shape how you embrace and use them. Before you take the assessment, make note of unsettled questions you have. Make a list of gifts you think you have and reflect on why you are drawn to them. Reflect on how you will react if the gifts on your list are not the gifts with which you have been blessed. 

Your gifts will be validated by others and confirmed through prayer and by their use over time. Confidence in your gifts comes when you have recognized, accepted, embraced, and celebrated them yourself.

For each of the 45 questions that follow, select the number that best matches how you perceive yourself.

5: Consistently True

4: Frequently True

3: Occasionally True

2: Infrequently True

1: Rarely True
