Spiritual Gifts Inventory

Welcome to Creekside's online spiritual gifts inventory. A spiritual gift is a special ability, given to believers by the Holy Spirit, to be used to build up the Church, and a spiritual inventory is just one way to figure out which gift(s) God may have given you. If you'd like to get a better idea of what your gifts might be, this is a great place to start.

Instructions

The statements to the left are grouped into thirty sections. Put that section in order using each number only once to rank each statement from 1 to 4 in accordance with how well it describes you, with 4 being the most like you and 1 being the least. Sometimes it will be difficult to choose between them, and sometimes they will all describe you, while other times none may fit very well. In all cases, try to rank them in order, even if there is not much distinction. Often your first reaction will be correct, so don't spend too much time trying to "out-think" the questions.

After completing the inventory, click the Calculate Results button to tabulate your results.
