GraceGifts Spiritual Gifts Test
THE BENEFIT TO YOUR CHURCH
Most spiritual gifts tests fail to explain how people prefer to use their gifts, leaving leaders guessing. Not so with our GraceGift’s Spiritual Gift Expressions! You’ll know exact applications for each person.
An Introduction to Our Spiritual Gifts Test
The GraceGifts© spiritual gifts test from AssessME.org is one of the finest spiritual gift tests available to help church leaders find and manage volunteers.
By default, our spiritual gifts test utilizes all the practical gifts found in the entire Bible. The use of these gifts are influenced by one’s God-given temperament. We call our temperament filtered results, “Gift Expressions.”
At no additional cost, if your church desires, you may activate the Revelatory List of gifts (these have a * next to them in the list). This special category of gifts is addressed near the end of this page.
GraceGifts is part of a group of temperament-based assessment tools that work together to help people mobilize into ministry service. We recommend using our spiritual gifts test alongside our ePersonality© and Leadership Style© assessments. When used together, they provide cross-validation for one another, checking results to ensure each assessment is accurate.
What Are Spiritual Gift Expressions?
AssessME.org is the only platform that clarifies spiritual gift results by filtering spiritual gifts through personality traits. This helps people to better understand how they will apply their spiritual gifts in real ministry situations. We call these crucial results “Gift Expressions.”
Take a look at the screenshots of the GraceGifts© management interface below. You can see the “Gift Expressions” in the screenshot below. They display as related sub-categories.

Three Types of Spiritual Gifts
People often argue about how many Spiritual Gifts are mentioned in the Bible. These debates usually stem from different traditions. However, we don’t focus on those arguments. Instead, we look at the whole Bible and see that there are three main categories of giftedness…
About Skills: In the Old Testament, God says that He gives us our skill-abilities (Exodus 31:3). That’s why GraceGifts© includes Old Testament skill-gifts like Creativity and Music/Worship. God gave these skills for special roles, such as Temple Gatekeepers and Craftsmen (1 Chronicles 23:5). In essence, these are Old Testament spiritual gifts granted to us by the Holy Spirit.
The Practical Spiritual Gifts, which are primarily found in the New Testament, are the main focus of our spiritual gift test. How a person uses their gift depends on their personality. Personality filtered gifts are called Gift Expressions. Our gift list includes skill-based gifts from both the New and Old Testaments. These gifts comprise our default spiritual gift list.
Revelatory spiritual gifts, which are also known as “self-evident gifts”, are spiritual gifts that the Holy Spirit displays through people in the moment. In fact, John Wimber, founder the Vineyard church movement, categorized these gifts as “Gifts of Divine Intervention“.
Unlike practical gifts, these gifts are not directly held by the Christian, and so they are not influenced by one’s personality. The Holy Spirit manifests the gift through an individual, so for example, God may inspire you to pray over a sick person and the person is healed. Your personality did not influence the effectiveness of the prayer, nor may the Lord ever again utilize you for the healing of another infirmed person. The healing was a “Gift of Divine Intervention”.
Please note, some theological traditions view Prophecy only as “Holy Spirit-inspired preaching” from the Greek rendering “To speak forth”. Because of this interpretation, we have now added Prophecy to the default gift list. (See the related Gift Expressions in the table above).
