Spiritual Gifts test - 10/21/07 05:27 PM

Have you ever taken one?

I took one when I first accepted Christ as my Savior, then again a few years ago. Well, it may be time again to see where I've changed/grown/need to redirect etc.

Here is a link to the test. Maybe we can post our results here. Since someone posted about our "calling", it reminded me of this very test. I was surprised, after about 10 years, how my "gifts" had changed. Guess it comes with maturity in Christ AND as an adult.

Here is it. You can also download a format and print it to take offline. Then you can read about the gift(s) you are blessed with.

I don't think you need a test to tell you if you spiritual gifts or not. If you have them, you'll know.(my opinion)

Right, but, according to this test, I had "gifts" I did not realize. They give you your top one, then subsequent ones. For instance, my way of "helping" peoples came thru as "Pastor"...never even thought of that!

It's an excellent test just to see, anyway!

Thanks for sharing. I don't have time now, but will definitely get around to doing this. It interests me.

While working at the church, I attended a day long seminar on spiritual gifts. It was most intersting.

And gimster, you are right in that we usually do know what our gifts are.

I took this years ago when first a pastor's wife....we were always reminded that it was only a guide, but a good one. Sometimes in our busy minds it's good to get some insight. I enjoyed it and relished in the joy of putting it all together and putting it to good use.

I love taking this type of test, more to see if it agrees with the way I see myself than anything, so I'll be taking it when I can capture an hour. Questions can be interpreted so many ways, as can the answers given (sometimes not being any where near the way you'd answer if you were free to write your own) so I don't think they can give strict determinations. Whether subjective or objective, tests can't really give that... too many derivatives.
Have you ever considered being a pastor? a 24/7 calling...
