What are the Gifts?

Once you discover your gifts, you discover a tremendous potential for happiness.

People are concerned with getting to know themselves better so they can be fulfilled, happy, and the best version of themselves so they can be of service to the Lord and to others.  As we understand our own giftedness, we can enjoy our work and do it well

Our focus is on the motivational gifts, a biblical way of looking at the inborn gifts God has given to us and to others. The list of gifts can be found in Romans 12. The personal assessment based on this teaching is incredibly detailed, accurate, and effective. You will find it easier to forgive and be less critical of each other. We have tests for adults, teens, and children.

Three Gift Categories

Teacher

The person with the gift of teaching is very analytical and logical, and not concerned with your opinions. They just want the facts and should be functioning to some degree in the area of teaching others. They’re drawn into fields of research and may do their teaching through writing papers, articles, dissertations, or books, rather than in person. However, teachers tend to develop pride in their intellectual ability.
