Warning: While part of this is based on a passage from the Bible, I do hope it is OK to discuss this in a general forum like this as I'd be curious as to how others see this and if anyone else has run across this before.
This is similar to the Enneagram and Chakras thread but with a substitute for the Chakras using something from Christian typing in a sense taking a passage from Romans.
Here are a few links that may help elaborate a bit more on the gifts:
For those wanting a condensed version, here are some highlights of each gift along with an alternate name for each along with a summary line in quotes to sum up each gift:
Prophet / Unyielding Conviction and Design - This is the person with a strong sense of right and wrong and doesn't give up their principles easily. In theory this is the person that is given various visions from God to spread to the world about what is to pass. "I am only worthy and loved when solving my own problems and fixing things or people."
Servant / Sacrificial Service and Authority - This is the person that helps others. The person that makes sure everything is covered and just right. The issue here is this person doesn't like to be in charge yet would handle it well as they generally lead by example in getting things done. "I am only worthy and loved when serving success under others."
Teacher / Knowledgable Wisdom and Responsbility - This is the master of information in a sense. The one who knows so much yet may not do well in dispensing it to others. The responsibility here is how to use that knowledge properly rather than try to use it as a weapon. "Knowledge is power and I am only worthy and loved when I am right and have complete and accurate information."
Exhorter / Inspirational Empowerment and Attraction - This is the cheerleader type in a sense. This person helps others to get back on their horse or back in the game in a sense. There is an attraction here as this person can generally help others feel good pretty easily and can be quite the people person in a sense. "I am only worthy and loved when other people want and need to be in relationship with me."
Giver / Compelling Generosity and Stewardship - This is the person that things just come to them. They know how to allocate resources and give in a way that gets others to follow suit. The key here is that there is some power in this person as they know where to put the money so there is a slight difference from Servant in that sense. "I am only worthy and loved when providing resources for others and needed by my family."
Ruler / Dominion Leadership and Freedom - These would be the empire builders. They know how to put things together to build great systems and give freedom to people to do what they do best. "I am only worthy and loved when over others and have power as an institutional authority."
Mercy / Merciful Compassion and Fulfillment - This is the gift of showing mercy to someone else, generally with compassion of some form. "I am only worthy and loved when earning favor through self-sacrifice."
Hopefully that is enough to get some discussion going or so I hope.
