the space next to each number in the key chart, enter the score (0-7) that you
assigned to each of the 72 statements in the survey.
2. Add up the four scores in each row, and
enter the total in the far-right column.
3. Circle the four highest scores listed in the
Total column. These are your four strongest spiritual gifts.
4. Write the names of these four gifts in the
blanks at the bottom of the page, listing them from highest scored to lowest.
In case of a tie, give a higher rating to the gift that you sense is more
dominant. Remember that although the remaining gifts may not be your strongest
spiritual gifts, you still have a responsibility in each gift area. God is
likely developing additional gifts in you, and God may have plans to empower
you with a particular gift in the future.
5. Hand in or send your results to your group
leader or gifts administrator. You may want to use the Ready to Serve form on
the following page for this purpose. We recommend that you take this survey
again periodically (every 3-5 years) to update how God is developing you to
serve as an increasingly gifted member of his kingdom.
