Spiritual Assessment

This is not a test, so there are no wrong answers. The Spiritual Gifts Survey consists of 80 statements. Some items reflect concrete actions; other items are descriptive traits; and still others are statements of belief. · Select the one response you feel best characterizes yourself and place that number in the blank provided. Record your answer in the blank beside each item. · Do not spend too much time on any one item. Remember, it is not a test. Usually your immediate response is best. · Please give an answer for each item. Do not skip any items. · Do not ask others how they are answering or how they think you should answer. · Work at your own pace.
