Spiritual Gifts and Personality Profile

September 13th, 2006

 

What kind of personality do you have?

Answer: A good one.

 

Everyone has a good personality! It’s what you do with your personality that matters. You control the use of your personality.

 

Psalm 139:15

My frame was not hidden from you

when I was made in the secret place.

When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

 

According to the Bible you were woven together in your mother’s womb by God. God gave you your personality and he doesn’t make mistakes. God’s part in the formation of your personality is what we refer to as “nature” and the environment through which your personality was shaped is the “nurture” component.

 

Identifying and understanding your personality should help you as you interact with God and those around you. As a matter of fact, the study of your personality will give you invaluable insight into the personalities of others. You will increasingly find yourself having “Aha” moments as you understand yourself and others more deeply.

 

The Uniquely You Personality Profile is derived from William Marston’s DISC Model of Human Behavior introduced in 1928 through his book The Emotions of Normal People. Mels Carbonell, the author of our study material, very intentionally relates our discoveries from the Spirtiual Gifts Inventory to our Personality Profile with the goal of directing us into healthier relationships and more fruitful ministry.
