Spiritual Gifts

I was bored this morning, so I searched google.ca for a Spiritual Gifts test. I got this website called Online Spiritual Gifts Test Inventory. This is the basic spiritual gifts: Exhortation, Service, Mercy, Leadership, Teaching, Prophecy and Giving. There are 35 questions that you answer. When I did this test I got:

EXHORTATION (14): Romans 12:8 - to come along side of someone with words of encouragement, comfort, consolation, and counsel to help them be all God wants them to be (Greek Word: paraklesis - calling to one’s side)

SERVICE (15): Romans 12:7 - to identify undone tasks in God’s work, however menial, and use available resources to get the job done (Greek Word: diakonia - deacon, attendant ‘diako’=to run errands)

MERCY (15): Romans 12:8 - to be sensitive toward those who are suffering, whether physically, mentally, or emotionally, so as to feel genuine sympathy with their misery, speaking words of compassion but moreso caring for them with deeds of love to help alleviate their distress

I encourage you to do this test and comment here and let me know the top three u got (or the highest ones... these three were the only 2 digit numbers)


We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. ~Romans 12:6-8
