Spiritual Gifts Survey

Beside each statement, indicate the degree to which it describes you best.

Never, Sometimes, Usually, Always

Things to consider:

-Use the "rarely and always" as much as possible.

-Using the "never or sometimes" on a given question does not mean you are less spiritual; it just indicates that it is not a strong representation of your spiritual gifting. For example, most Christians know they should share the gospel. Still, those without the GIFT of evangelism will probably find that they are not as excited about it as is conveyed in the statement, "I seek out unbelievers in a continual manner..." Be honest! Be you!
