Experience Assessment
There is often a correlation between Christian experiences and spiritual gifts. This assessment explores personal experiences that might indicate which specific gifts you are most and least likely to have. If you have not served before, then you will identify which of your behaviors most approximate the behaviors of those who have certain gifts. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Read each of the 119 questions on the Spiritual Gifts questionnaire. For each question, respond with either: "This has been experienced in my life, much, some, little or not at all
or
“If given the opportunity I would want to do this much, some, little or none" and check the appropriate box of Much, Some, Little or None. 2. As you respond to the questions, please consider each in light of the following:
- Answer according to who you are, not who you would like to be or think you should be.
- How true of you are these statements?
- What has been your experience?
- To what degree do these statements reflect your tendencies?

You're doing great! Now we want to assess you from a different perspective. What we have found is that there may be a correlation between your spiritual gifts and specific character traits. We'd like for you to evaluate yourself in this area to help suggest possible gifts by identifying traits that best characterize your typical attitudes, feelings, and actions. Directions: In each question that remains (Questions 69-119) you will find a single trait. Please select your response according to the scale. As you answer, please consider: Answering according to who you are, not who you would like to be or think you should be. How true these words are of you? To what degree these words reflect you?
