Mine hit dead on. In fact, they all work together too, which is interesting.
Also, many of my strengths also work with many of my spiritual gifts, often almost being the same thing, if not being the exact same thing.
So without further ado, here are the results for my test and a basic premise of what each one is (They start at my strongest...some explanations are longer than others):
1. Ideation
"You are fascinated by ideas. What is an idea? An idea is a concept, the best explanation of the most events. You are delighted when you discover beneath the complex surface of an elegantly simple concept to explain why things are the way they are. An idea is a connection. Yours is the kind of mind that is always looking for connections. An idea is a new perspective on familiar challenges. You revel in taking the world we all know and turning it around so we can view it from a strange but strangely enlightening angle. You love all these ideas because they are profound, because they are novel, because they are clarifying, because they are contrary, because they are bizarre. For all these reasons you derive a jolt of energy whenever a new idea occurs to you. Others may label you creative or original or conceptual or even smart. Perhaps you are all of these. Who can be sure? What you are sure of is that ideas are thrilling. And on most days, that is enough."
2. Activator
"You are impatient for action. Only action can make things happen. Others may worry that there are still some things that aren't known, but this doesn't seem to slow you. If the decision has been made to go across town, you know that the fastest way to get there is to go stoplight to stoplight. You are not going to sit around waiting until all of the lights have turned green. Action is the best dvice for learning. You make a decision, you take action, you look at the result, and you learn. This learning informs your next action and your next. "
3. WOO
WOO stands for Winning Others Over. You enjoy the challenge of meeting new people and getting them to like you. Strangers are rarely intimidating to you. On the contrary, they can be energizing. Some people shy away from starting up conversations because they worry about running out of things to say. You don't. Not only are you rarely at a loss for words; you actually enjoy initiating with strangers because you derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection. Once that connection is made, you are quite happy to wrap it up and move on. In your world there are no strangers, only friends you haven't met yet--lots of them."
4. Communication
"You like to explain, to describe, to host, to speak in public, and to write. You feel a need to bring ideas and events to life, to energize them, to make them exciting and vivid. You take the dry idea and enliven it with images and examples and metaphors. You want your information to survive, despite a person's short attention span. You want to divert their attention toward you and then capture it, lock it in. This is what drives your hunt for the perfect phrase. This is what draws you toward dramatic words and powerful word combinations. This is why people like to listen to you. Your word pictures pique their interest, sharpen their world, and inspire them to act."
5. Connectedness
"Things happen for a reason. You are sure of it. Certain of the unity of humankind, you are a bridge builder for people of different cultures. Sensitive to the invisible hand, you can give others comfort that there is a purpose beyond our humdrum lives. The exact articles of your faith will depend on your upbringing and your culture, but your faith is strong. It sustains you and your close friends in the face of life's mysteries."
