Discovering our "Strengths" is one place to start our journey.
A good assessment is Strengthfinders.2.0 http://strengths.gallup.com/110440/About-StrengthsFinder-20.aspx You can purchase at Amazon for about $15
It has a code in the back of the book that you use when you go online to take the 177 question assessment. After taking the assessment you get an immediate printout of your top 5 strength and a commentary on how to further develop those "talents" into strengths.
It gives you all 34 Strengths from high to low AND gives you a 2 minute video of EACH Strength!
Both assessments are good. You can compare the two printouts side by side and get a more complete view of your talents that can be developed into "Strengths"
The results of knowing your "Strengths" is that you can use them in your job, career, volunteering and in your marriage.
Now if you are ready to tackle your Abilities, a good book that is probably out of print is Discovering Your Natural Talents by John Brady and Jay Carty.
John Bardley has a company called Idak Group
They have an online Abilities Assessment. Cost $27. Very good.
Another step in our journey is to find out your S.H.A.PE.
Maybe this is really the place to START!
S is your Spiritual Gifts.H is your Heart or Passion
A is your Abilities
P is your Personality
E is your Experiences.
There are several websites that offer an online survey.
They are approaching this from a Christian worldview. The Spiritual Gifts part.
Gives you a great analysis on how to use your SHAPE in a Christian non profit.
If you don't do the Spiritual Gift section it also applies to a Secular non profit.
They give a great printout.
You can search Google for a S.H.A.P.E. Assessment.
It is a great tool.
