Spiritual Gifts Finder — Core Test
30 statements, rated 0-3, covering the 15 gifts nearly every Christian tradition agrees are active today. Takes about 8-10 minutes. Get your top three gifts plus a full score chart — then, if you want it, an optional add-on covers the 5 "sign gifts" (prophecy, healing, miracles, tongues, interpretation) that traditions genuinely disagree about.
How these 15 gifts were chosen
Romans 12:6-8, 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 and 12:28, and Ephesians 4:11 name 19 distinct gifts once overlapping terms are merged. Of those, 14 are gifts nearly every Christian tradition — cessationist and continuationist alike — agrees are active today, plus Hospitality (1 Peter 4:9), which is broadly uncontested the same way. The 5 gifts left out of this core test — prophecy, healing, miracles, tongues, and interpretation of tongues — are genuinely disputed between traditions, so they're offered as a separate, optional add-on rather than folded in here.
Frequently asked questions
Why isn't this test longer, like the 80-108 question inventories?
Longer inventories (some run 80-130 statements) use more statements per gift for finer precision. This test uses 2 statements per gift — enough to get a meaningful top-three and a full score picture in about 10 minutes, not a clinical-grade assessment.
What if two or three gifts tie for my top score?
That's common and not a problem — it usually means you genuinely operate strongly in more than one area. The full score chart shows exactly how close it was.
Is my top gift the "right" one to pursue?
Treat this as a starting point for reflection and conversation with your church, not a final word. Spiritual gifts are also discovered and confirmed over time through actually serving, not just through a self-assessment.
