GraceGifts Spiritual Gifts
GraceGifts©, developed by AssessME.org, is the most advanced Spiritual Gifts Test available for the church to mobilize and manage volunteers. NOTE: You can find our complete list of Spiritual Gifts on the right sidebar or bottom of this screen depending on your device.
Our spiritual gifts test is part of our integrated assessments designed to help with ministry mobilization. We strongly recommend that our spiritual gift assessment be used in conjunction with our ePersonality© and Leadership Style© assessments, as they provide cross-validation to one another to ensure accurate results.
By default, our spiritual gift assessment program focuses on the practical gifts, which are influenced by an individual’s temperament…we call the results: “Gift Expressions“. However, your church administrator can activate the expanded gift list (marked with an * in the sidebar) at no extra cost.
Temperament-Driven Gift Expressions
AssessME.org is the only platform that customizes gift results based on personality traits. This helps people understand better how they can use their spiritual gifts in real ministry situations. We call these special results “Gift Expressions.”
Take a look at the screenshots of the GraceGifts© management interface below. You can see the “Gift Expressions” in the second image.
Spiritual Gifts & Related Gift Expressions
The AssessME.org administrative dashboard helps your church staff search the database for the main giftings (look for the orange labels). It also allows staff to find people who match related Gift Expressions. These Gift Expressions are mostly based on temperament and explain how each gift can be best used.
Each person’s Gift Expressions should closely match their ePersonality© and Leadership Style© assessment reports. This is part of our cross-validation system to make sure the assessment results are accurate. (Please note that not all gifts are shown below.)

The Bible Teaches Three Types of Spiritual Gifts:
People often argue about how many Spiritual Gifts are mentioned in the Bible. These debates usually come from different beliefs and 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 gifts…
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).
The Practical 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 gifts, which are also known as “self-evident” gifts, are spiritual gifts that the Holy Spirit shows to people in the moment. Unlike practical gifts, these gifts are not influenced by a person’s personality. The Revelatory Gifts are listed below, and may be activated within the GraceGifts spiritual gifts test at no extra cost.
Please note, some theological traditions view Prophecy only as “Holy Spirit-inspired preaching“. Because of this perspective, we have now added Prophecy to the default gift list. (See the related Gift Expressions in the table above).
