Self-scoring Motivational Gifts Inventory (c) 2002 Jackson Snyder

Below find a question number in each box.  Score each question this way:
    For each "Almost Always" answer, score 5.
    For each "Most of the Time" answer, score 3.
    For each "Occasionally" answer, score 1.
    For "Seldom" and "Never," score -0-.

Add the columns.  
    High Score = Primary Motivational Grace

Notes:
    1.  Remember, charismata (carismata, Romans 12:6) does not mean "spiritual gifts."  It does mean "graces."  Please read the introductory information carefully in regards to what charismata are and are not.
    2.  Often there will be a primary "grace" with a high score and the others graces will be clustered within a small range.  (Example: Prophecy 18, Serving 10, Teaching 9, the rest 8.) 
    3.  Sometimes all the scores are high and clustered.  The inventory then should be taken again after instructing the student to be more discriminating.
    4.  Good results can also be obtained when significant others take the inventory in proxy for the student.  (Others who know him/her well pretend to be the student and answer the statements as though he/she was the student.)  Several such poroxies may be averaged in with the students results for a more "execllent" overall picture.
    5.  The questions dealing with being an optimist and the question of the student's sex sometimes help in determining the primary grace when the scores are very close.  (For instance, when prophet and exhorter scores are equal, we can distinguish them because prophets are not always known as optimists.)
