About this reflection
Called by the Spirit is a spiritual gifts discovery for Catholic high school students. It was written especially for teenagers in parish life and in the Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement, and it is useful for any Catholic student.
Adapted from Called by the Spirit: Gifts Inventory, Catholic Diocese of Cleveland. The original inventory was developed by the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, Office of Missionary Discipleship.
This is an independently adapted educational reflection tool and is not an official assessment or publication of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland.
How scoring works
There are 25 gifts and 50 original questions, two for each gift. Each answer is worth 1 to 4 points, so each gift scores from 2 to 8. The original diocesan inventory uses 75 questions. This shorter version is a new exploratory reflection, not an equivalent scoring edition of that inventory.
Your strongest responses are the highest scores. If several gifts share a score, they are shown as equally strong. The app does not invent percentiles, probabilities, or a scientific ranking.
Your results reflect how you answered these questions today. Discovering spiritual gifts is an ongoing process of prayer, service, community, and discernment.
A low score is not a judgment. It does not mean God is withholding grace, and it does not mean you lack faith. Charisms are discerned over time through prayer, service, and the people who know you.
