Gary’s Spiritual Gift Assessment Test

The #1 gift as revealed through the test is very likely your primary gift. The next two are the secondary and tertiary gifts. They are the two most likely gifts that are used to bring about the primary. For example, Barnabas, the Encourager, was known to use Giving and Teaching to Encourage the brethren (Acts. 4:36-37; 11:22-24). The lowest would obviously be the weakest and the greatest possible area of abuse or neglect in relating to others.

 Spiritual Giftedness Explanation

To Christians in the city of Corinth, Paul wrote: “Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant” (I Corinthians 12:1). The Greek word used by Paul for “spiritual gifts” is “pneumatikon” which literally means “spirituals.” The context shows that these “spirituals” were gifts and abilities that were given to Christians by the Lord and supported/influenced by the Holy Spirit.

Paul was writing this section to correct the problem of ignorance in connection with the use of spiritual gifts. Knowing your gifts and how to use them to glorify God is an important aspect to being a Christian. More than likely, there will be some things that you prefer more than others in terms of gifts which causes you to lean one way or the other. Jesus had all the gifts and used them throughout his ministry very effectively.

The spiritual gifts comparison chart below hopes to provide a graphical representation of how the various gifts fit within a psychological framework. There are many different variations of spiritual gift scenarios out there but this one provides a reasonably simple to understand representation for our study.

Overview

There are essentially two styles of gifts in our analysis; speaking gifts and serving gifts.

The speaking gifts tend to be associated with those who are able to convincingly deliver a message based on sound principles and a understanding of God’s word.

The serving gifts tend to be associated with those who are able to appeal to emotions based on relationships and with a sensitivity towards personal needs.

Generally speaking, people who are more extroverted tend to be leaders among a group of people. Whether they are Confronters, Missionaries, Teachers or Evangelists, they are typically outspoken concerning matters religious.

On the other hand, people who are quieter or more introverted typically represent those who are Servants, Mercy Givers, Encouragers or Givers.

The Subjective and Objective parts simply show that those people who are more subjective in thought tend to do less Bible study and apply more prayer to a situation.

While those who are more objective in thought tend to do more Bible study and pray less under similar circumstances. These are general characteristics and do not suggest that any one method is greater or less than the other or that one applies to a particular gift or other, its just a general pattern of behavior.
