Assignment 1 - Due Sunday, April 19

1. If you haven’t taken the Myers-Briggs personality inventory, do so online here: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm. (en Español aqui: http://www.fundacion-jung.com.ar/J_Type.htm) If you’ve taken the test before, you can use your previous results, or take it again if you want. After you’ve taken the test, write a blog entry summarizing your personality type. How can this personality type really benefit a team or organization? How can this personality type potentially hurt a team or organization? Be sure to record the 4 letters and your score results in your blog. Pretend you are explaining yourself to a total stranger.

2. Take a spiritual gift inventory here: http://buildingchurch.net/g2s.htm (en español aqui: http://www.gnycyouth.org/article/articleview/317/1/12). If you’ve done this in the last couple of years, just use those results.Which are your main gifts? Be sure you read about them. Which ones are low? Are you surprised? Write a posting to your blog explaining your spiritual gifts and your reaction to taking this test.

3. Now look at your personality type and your spiritual gifts. How do you see these working together? Write a post to your blog where you discuss how your personality and your spiritual gifts fit together.

4. Summarize your work on section one and your thoughts about personality and spiritual gifts in a posting that answers these questions:
What role do you typically exercise on a team?
What should members of this team know about you in order to work with you as best as they can?
How might God be bringing together your personality type and your spiritual gifts for use in his kingdom?
