Using My Gifts in the Body for God’s Glory

Spiritual Gift Inventory

 

This is a questionnaire that will assist you in determining your spiritual gifts by your responses to statements.  The questionnaire should take you between 10-20 minutes to complete and the results are returned to your computer immediately after pressing the submit button.

For each of these statements choose the most appropriate answer.  When you have completed the inventory click "Submit" to proceed to the interpretation sheet. (Hint: it would be a good idea to have someone who knows you well also fill out the survey about you)
