Ashley- We did a whole series on spiritual gifts and what they meant and their purpose. It was interesting to see how we could guess what our gifts are. I think that if you know what the gifts are, you can pick yours out easily because you have interest in it. Like for me, I love teaching and guiding, so it wasn't a surprise that one of my gifts is teaching. If you love to lead, it is probably because you succeed in doing so, so it is probably your spiritual gift. I can say though that after taking the test, I didn't try to do more. It was just like "okay, I guess this is a gift from God" but I didn't really act more upon it than I already was.
...not sure if I really answered your question...
