Spiritual Gifts Test

with Automatic Analysis

(Click here if you are under 18
or you are a new Christian
and would like to take the
Youth Spiritual Gifts Test .)

Introduction:

God has blessed each born again Christian with one or more Spiritual Gifts. Do you know what Spiritual Gift(s) God has given you? If you have been wondering about this, then you have come to the right place!

This on-line Spiritual Gifts Test (sometimes referred to as a Spiritual Gifts Inventory, Assessment, Survey, Analysis, Questionnaire, or Quiz) will help you determine what Spiritual Gift(s) God has given you. The test performs an assessment of 28 Gifts by presenting you with 140 positive statements that you are to respond to by selecting a number between 9 and 0 to indicate how well each statement applies to you, how well it describes you, or how much you agree with the statement.

This test is designed for Christian adults (a youth version of the test is available by clicking HERE ). If you have been a Christian for at least a few years, you should use your personal experiences as the basis for your responses. If you consider yourself to be a new Christian, then your responses should be based on how well each statement describes the desire of your heart (even if you have not yet done what the statement talks about). If you are NOT a Christian, then you should NOT take this test.

This test is not specific to any one Christian Denomination. It should be noted that there is some disagreement among Christians as to exactly how many Spiritual Gifts there are. This test covers a rather broad spectrum of 28 Spiritual Gifts and God given talents.

Please keep in mind that this test was written by people, not by God, and as such it is certainly not perfect. It should be used as a starting place to begin to discover your Spiritual Gifts, but not as an absolute indicator. The test may not always indicate your true Spiritual Gifts. It is just one tool in what should be a life long search for how God has blessed you so you can be a blessing to others.

Test Instructions (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):

The test should take less than an hour to complete. If you don't have that much time now, then you can 'Bookmark' this page or add it to your 'Favorites' and take the test later. You must complete the test in one sitting because a partially completed test can NOT be saved.

Respond to each statement quickly with your first feeling. Don't be too modest. However, unless you can walk on water, you will probably respond to more statements with low numbers than with high numbers. If in doubt, then respond with 0.

Select 9 or 8 if the statement describes you exactly or very well.
Select 7 or 6 if you think the statement applies to you better than to most other people.
Select 5 or 4 if the statement somewhat applies to you.
Select 3 or 2 if you can only slightly relate to the statement.
Select 1 or 0 it the statement does not apply to you or you disagree with the statement.

The object is NOT to enter all high numbers, but to distinguish between Gifts that you DO or DO NOT have. If you enter more than a dozen or so 9's, the analysis process will not be able to clearly distinguish your top Gift(s).

When you have responded to ALL 140 statements, click on 'Submit Spiritual Gifts Test for Analysis' at the bottom. Your test will be automatically analyzed. In a few seconds, it will show you a list of the 28 Spiritual Gifts and God given talents that this test covers and show you which ones appear to be the strongest in you. There is also a link to Spiritual Gifts Reference Material that provides a definition of each Spiritual Gift as well as Biblical References for each.
