<strong>GIFTS</strong> DISCOVERY QUESTIONNAIRES<br />

One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ways that we discover our spiritual gifts is by taking a spiritual gift inventory.<br />

Two questionnaires follow in this study guide. Both are reprinted with permission.<br />

1. One is from a denominational church in <strong>the</strong> US.<br />

2. The Wagner-Modified Houts Questionnaire, is from <strong>the</strong> book Your <strong>Spirit</strong>ual Gifts<br />

Can Help Your Church Grow by C. Peter Wagner, Regal Books, 1994 1-800-446-<br />

7735.<br />

Suggestions for taking <strong>the</strong> Gifts Discovery Questionnaire (Inventory #1)<br />

1. The results <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> questionnaires only suggest possible areas <strong>of</strong> giftedness. They<br />

should never be interpreted absolutely. They only suggest areas for study and<br />

confirmation by several <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ways suggested previously.<br />

2.. The first answer that comes to mind is <strong>of</strong>ten <strong>the</strong> right one. Spending a lot <strong>of</strong> time on<br />

any one statement is usually not productive.<br />

3. Each statement on <strong>the</strong> following pages is designed to help you discover your gifts.<br />

Read each statement carefully, <strong>the</strong>n circle <strong>the</strong> number following it that indicates <strong>the</strong><br />

degree to which <strong>the</strong> statement is TRUE or FALSE in your life.<br />

If it is mostly false, circle 1<br />

If it is half and half circle 3<br />

If it is consistently true, circle 5<br />

4. Take <strong>the</strong> questionnaire. When you have finished , score it using <strong>the</strong> Gifts<br />

Identification Score Sheet.<br />

5. Review <strong>the</strong> gifts with <strong>the</strong> highest scores on <strong>the</strong> Gifts Identification Score Sheet.<br />

List <strong>the</strong> top five (with <strong>the</strong> highest first) on <strong>the</strong> Gifts Discovery Report Sheet, which<br />

can be found at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second questionnaire. If you have two or more gifts<br />

that are tied, list <strong>the</strong>m both in <strong>the</strong> order you think <strong>the</strong>y apply to you. You may list<br />

more than five if you wish.<br />
